My Chaotic Realm

Well, Agathos was a hungry python Friday... ate that little mouse rather quickly Friday morning, then cozied right up behind his little tree & has been snoozing ever since...lot of work, digesting a mouse, I guess. We took a nap after work Friday until about 7:30pm then packed like fools until 11pm, showered, then headed to see Enigma for dinner around midnight. Back at it today ... the laundry room after the laundry is caught up. Gentleman from Devine will be picking up dryer as new home is all electric. Enigma's son is getting the washer (house comes with W/D). Saves us from moving those puppies down the stairs, thank the goddess! All of living room is packed except for TV stuff on entertainment center, Lizzie & Agathos. Can't box them up!! Kitchen gets packed today except for basics, like coffeepot, cereal bowls, etc. Son's bathroom already done... now if I could just get him to clean it. Sigh. Our closet is next, except for a few outfits for work next week. ...

Well...we started the packing last night... living room is full of boxes !! We packed until we ran out of them and out of space. Then we went over to the house in the dark, without the boxes . It was WAY too late. But we wanted to make sure that A} we could find the place in the dark, and B} the lights lining the driveway worked. Yes, and Yes, thankfully! But we are thinking about getting reflective frogs for the mailbox and fenceposts so others will spot us as they cres tthe hill, make it a bit easier on everyone. When Spirit is off work, she'll go load up boxes and haul them over, then when I get home I'll go help her pack another load and we'll load that one up as well. :-) The move is on!

Agathos has eaten! Got him to eat his first mouse yesterday!! Not first ever, but first from me... his handler had fed him before when you only eat once a week.... sheesh! Anyway, 1st attempt on Saturday was not successful, but Sunday was. Still not quite into the proper technique as he did not constrict around it as quickly as he might should have had it been live prey... but oh well, it is a learning experience for us both. I thought he did rather well for such a young tyke! I took pictures of him wandering across the patio as well as tacking his meal "at home" :-) Speaking of "home"...we sign the lease on the new place today, move in on the 29th of this month!! We can actually start moving little stuff in as soon as this week. They are finishing kitchen floor (new tile) and middle bedroom (pulling up carpet, putting down Pergo) and end bedroom (repainting) so we can start moving into master bed/bathroom and start storing stuff in that end of home. They wi...

Well, we found a new place... a 3 bedroom, 2 bath 1200+ square foot trailer sitting on just over 6 acres out in the country. Sits between Uhland & Maxwell, altho the ZIP is still Kyle. Nice little driveway as the home is set a ways off the road, and driveway is lined with white picket fence & lights. The front deck has room for plants, chairs, etc and will catch the rising sun. Sits almost oriented East/West. Morning sun comes up on what will be the art space/study and the sun will set over the master bedroom. The master bedroom/bathroom is at one end, complete with spa tub & seperate shower enclosure. The kitchen/dining nook and the living room seperate the other 2 bedrooms from the master bedroom. The center room will be the guest room, when we HAVE a guest. Spirit has a nice antique bedroom set in storage, so we'll set that up. And, since we do not have guests all THAT often, it will serve mainly as a room for Lizzie, Agathos, and the Bearded Dragon that will be ar...

I look at you and my blood boils hot, I feel my temperature rise I want it all, give me what you got, there's hunger in your eyes I'm getting closer, baby hear me breathe You know the way to give me what I need Just let me love you and you'll never leave Feel my heat takin' you higher, burn with me, Heaven's on fire Paint the sky with desire, angel fly, Heaven's on fire I got a fever ragin' in my heart, you make me shiver and shake Baby don't stop, take it to the top, eat it like a piece of cake You're comin' closer, I can hear you breathe You drive me crazy when you start to tease You could bring the devil to his knees Oho Heaven's on fire, oho Heaven's on fire, oho I'm getting closer, baby hear me breathe You know the way to give me what I need Just let me love you and you'll never leave

Well, Agathos has had his mouse July 10th before arriving home, and weighed in at 1.8 ounces and 18 inches long. His next meal will be Saturday, after which we will weigh and measure again. :-) Tonight is the Central Texas Pagan Meetup dinner @ Cedars Cafe in San Marcos... Agathos will be our guest at dinner, altho don't expect much in the way of conversation. He must have been tired still this morning as he yawned a couple of times while I was journalling (he was wrapped around my non-writing wrist). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Son went w/his cousin Jason on a "ride along" with San Marcos PD last night. He was not yet home when Spirit and I turned in @ 11pm, and still fast asleep when we awoke @ 4:30am (well, d'oh!) so I have no idea how it went. More on that later.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Still waiting to get w/son to see if he is off this weekend to see if we can go visit with Granny & Granddad this weekend som...

Well, heard this song again on my way to work this morning... it was still poignant ( Profoundly moving; touching) so I thought I would post it here today:: "Right Before Your Eyes" When the door shuts Don’t worry about me Its not attention that I want from you I need you to trust who I’m gonna be And in everything I’m going to do Cause I’m not afraid Of what I don’t know For understanding is all that I earn What is for sure is I’m gonna to go I’m gonna to live and I’m going to learn And I know there will be mistakes that I will make But I know they’re not worse than chances I don’t take Right before your eyes I am changing, changing New life on the inside I am changing, changing When the door shuts Its shuts in front of me A new person that I have become I follow my heart to my destiny But living in fear and sorrow is done There will be no more feeling that I’m all alone I will surround myself with things that help me grow, grow Right before your eyes I am changing, changin...
