wheeee
Well, almost 2pm, which is my "outta here time" today. Have a doc appointment in A-Town at 3pm...gotta allow for traffic. Then meetup w/Spirit in town for some coffee, head on home. Ooops, gotta stop @ WallyWorld...dammit...forgot to go last night for Spirits meds. And we need greens for the dragons. Good thing it is right on the way. No pics yet...promise soon!!
Furries, not Furies
Here is a pic of one... they are about the size of a standard marshmallow... fits in a teaspoon.
and so it begins...
Well, the full moon burial was small but heartfelt for Lizzie. She was laid to rest with all her favorite treats, some water and wooden nibbles, placed under the zinnias with a fossilized shell for a headstone and a guardian frog nearby. Spirit & I spoke about it, and decided to go look for hamsters needing a home. We thought getting 2 would be better so they could keep each other company... but when we went looking, there were no social hamsters from the same litter,,, just singles. EXCEPT for one habitat that was home to a species called robos. Three little girls...each about the size of a large marshmallow. They met the requirements- social, same litter, small size (so all three can stay in one habitat we already have). So, we brought home "The Furries"... this is a play on words. Furies: Avenging spirits; Alecto, Megaera, and Tisiphone; known also as Erinyes or Eumenides. All in all, it was a very good weekend... we did art (I caught up on my Asian ...
sad day....
Well, woke up this morning to find Lizzie AWOL. Somehow the door to her habitat was open, yet everything still intact & upright (kinda rules out Callie or any other feline mischief). Some of her treat containers were knocked off shelf & in the floor, but no real disarray. :-( Immediately began search & rescue, watching kitties closely for an signs of recognition or interest. None. She was not in her room, the Dragon's Den, the small bathroom or the living room. Finally came upon her still, tiny, lifeless form under the back corner of the kitchen table, right by the backside of the fridge. She did not appear to be chewed on (so cat's are outta the doghouse) so no known cause of death. Amaxing how big she seems in death...always thought she was so tiny when I was holding her in my hands. Burial services will be Saturday night, with the full moon... new beginnings for her next life. Rest in Peace, Lizzie... you are loved....
Miracles, Year & A Day
Well, started on "Wicca: Year & A Day" yesterday, fitting as it is the 1st day of our new year. Will be a 366 day trip, which I am doing in conjuction with "A Course in Miracles" . Both are meant to be enlightening & educational (for me) and about finding true power in true self. Both will involve some work, some time, some introspection. Spirit & I are also embarking in getting into better physical shape as a part of this growth process. The shell must be able to contain the spirit in a healthy manner.
We are the Witches
today's song ... fitting for Hallowmas (chorus qouted here) We are the flow, we are the ebb We are the weavers, we are the web We are the flow, we are the ebb We are the witches back from the dead See me, I am life and it's your birthright to walk proud and strong Come dance with the tide We've been there before And we shall return for now and evermore now and evermore... We are the flow, we are the ebb We are the weavers, we are the web We are the flow, we are the ebb We are the witches back from the dead
