Post-January Check-in

 Well, January has come and gone. Covid19 still here, mask mandates still in place, gas prices still rising. It is cold but I am going camping in a few days so that is okay. Severus is not thrilled with seeing more of Harley as he pops out of his room.  So, the goals for last month were: 

1) Blog the 1st of each month: I admit today is the 2nd. But yesterday was a work day, and a long day. Blogging is like the moon, in that the energy is valid a day before and after. :-)  "ON TARGET"

2) Maintain an intentional spiritual practice: I observed both the new and full moons with a fire and friends. I am journaling at least weekly. I set a grid out for the lunar cycle. And i will be observing Imbolc this evening when home from work. "ON TARGET"
          
3) Lose one pound each month: I actually did! "ON TARGET"

February will see me packing for our upcoming trip, taking down the altar for Imbolc and setting up one for Spring Equinox, planning in my planners for college, life, and on the go. I did the HelloFresh meal delivery thing for heathier eating options and joined WW in my continuing effort to improve my health. All in all the year is off to a good start. I will continue blogging my check-ins and the random post here and there.

Violet

the song was by Courtney Love's band Hole... Violet... I have not idea why it is called violet unless it is just one of the random words from the opening lyrics... oh well! So, update... I currently have 143 cards for sale @ the Bastrop Producers Market... I know because I had to sticker them with my Vendor number yesterday... 27 of those are NEW ADDITIONS that I made yesterday before going out. Lots of fun!! A quiet week is planned... just a board meeting in N Austin at a coffee shop...how could I NOT go?! And Janee Ward's "Stepping Through the Doorway" creativity workshop @ Pine Crone Labyrinth Retreat this Saturday & Sunday. I am expecting "The Toy" to arrive Wednesday so I am pretty sure what I will be doing all of Thursday & Friday evenings :-) Stay tuned.................

The Trip That Wasn't

We were taking 32 days to go to Portland (via family and friends in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Portland, New Mexico & Texas) and back, seeing several state and national parks (including Great Basin, Crater Lake, Badlands, Mount Rushmore, Yosemite, Yellowstone, Wind Cave, and Palo Duro Canyon). On Day 1, a mere eleven miles south of the Arkansas state line, our truck broke down. We called Good Sam & they called Michael from A to Z Towing.  We spent most of 7/15 at Firestone. At 2:30pm they had a verdict, which was that the repairs were outside their scope of practice. We called Good Sam & they again called Michael from A to Z Towing, who towed us to the shop attached to the wrecker company, EZ Automotive. As the shop was closed until Monday, Michael called the owner. After explaining our dilemma permission was given to bring our camper as well as the truck. Michael set our camper down in the parking lot and ran an extension cord so we had power. We also had running water. Thankfull
