Mixed Up Two Numbers

 As it turned out, my mother did not owe the gas company any money. They mixed up the last two numbers of her account. The bill should have gone to someone else. 

It took the entire morning to find out what happened.

Today is trash day. I intended to take out the trash once I finished with the gas company. But she was in such a sour mood when I stopped by yesterday morning, that I didn't want to go back. The trash still hasn't run today. I guess I could go bag it all up now, but really, I don't want to see her. 

It's difficult. She has decided she needs cash. She has over $100 in her purse. I showed it to her several times. But it's small bills, so she doesn't think it's very much. She doesn't actually need money, because she doesn't go anywhere. Mom thinks she needs to pay my son for cutting the grass. She doesn't actually know his name. She doesn't know my husband also cut grass. She doesn't think I can give them money for her. When I tried to explain this, she called me stupid. I decided to tell her that she already paid on Monday. She won't know. 

That's all for today. I'm trying to keep things low key. It's been stressful. No need to add to it.

Blessed be, my dears. Stay safe and well.

Full Moon Post

 Good afternoon, my dears. I am struggling today. I had several allergic reactions last night. The combo of lacking sleep and antihistamines has me dragging. I did a spell to remove the allergens. Enough already.  I am making lots of notes, so that when I am able to think, I will have a list of things to do. I've had several art ideas, but I lack the energy and focus to do them.  I am also deep cleaning my house. I am trying to get rid of any allergen residue.  My daughter has shown an interest in cooking. This makes my life easier. Goddess bless my child, she is a gift and I am grateful.  I have some wine. I intend to relax this evening.  My a1c has greatly improved. I feel much better about my health overall. I am trying to bolster creativity among fellow artists. I created a group text for my fiber group. So far it has been very positive.  It has rained in my part of the world every single day for weeks. My garden looks great.  I changed up cle...

Fuck Me Running

 My dears, it has been hell. On Monday, Aug. 17, I took my mother to the bank, then to pay her phone bill. That was a headache.  Monday night, I had an allergic reaction. Not only did my throat start to close, but my chest felt tight.  Around midnight, I started vomiting. I thought it was stress.  I was sick all day Tuesday. I did not get out of bed. I did not take insulin. Wednesday I was still vomiting, but the vomit smelled like sugar. My husband took me to the hospital. I stayed in ICU until late Thursday. I was having trouble swallowing. Friday, I figured out I could eat really slowly and take small bites. Not that I really ate much.  On Saturday, I forced myself to eat so I could go home.  All week, I have been struggling. I think my blood pressure is now too low, because I randomly get lightheaded. I move slowly. I am tired often.  I did make a point of cleaning off the piano, though I haven't felt like playing. I also did some gardening. I star...

The Witches & Majick Series Spring Edition Day 2

  Good morning, my dears! It's Day 2 and today's block is the Churn Dash. This block originated in the early 1800's, and it is meant to look like a butter churn. I know very few people churn their own butter, so here is a picture: Milk is poured into the jug, and the wooden thing, called a dash, stirs the milk, making it separate. Churning milk is necessary for making butter, cream, buttermilk, and cheese. Because there was no refrigeration, churning would have been a near daily chore.  Like most quilt blocks, this one has many names, such as through the barn door, and monkey wrench. Being that this block on based on a 9 patch grid, it also has many variations. Here is a two tone example. And here is a small star inside the churn dash.  Supposedly, this quilt was used in the Underground Railroad as a signal to gather supplies. I have a lot of issues with quilts being used as messages in the Underground Railroad. I will be discussing this in a later post.  Majickal us...
