From today, we can only gather ten people at a time. From Thursday, we are to wear a face mask when we do our shopping and more or less everywhere when inside in public.
We can take it off when we sit down. And tomorrow, I will buy some for our necessary supply. It doesn´t appeal to me because I find it difficult to wear glasses when wearing a face mask.
But I do it without complaining because we are told to do it. I respect the authorities and do my part. Here, rubbing alcohol and frequent hand wash are a must.
New routines again mean that the world outside is closer than we like to think of. My appointment with my GP was peaceful and full of good news. Now, I need to go to the hospital tomorrow for my mammography.
I´m rewarding myself tomorrow afternoon by doing something I love to do. Yeah, to tidy and clean my little big house and get some high quality pictures to serve as memories when we are old and gray.
Tonight, I calming myself by writing her at my window to the world and by spending creative hours with my dear friend. I hate doctors and hospitals. My only worse fear is for dentists.
But I know I will go through it with strength and character. And tomorrow will also be as good a day as today. I may not control the circumstances, but I can control my response to them.
At this moment, it is fair to write that my bipolar disorder cooperates this Fall. Right now, it helps me to get through a long wanted and needed overhaul of our home.
It is also a bliss that my anxiety level remains low at this critical moment of the strangest Fall I have ever experienced. It is here, however, for I sense its presence in its corner where it hisses at me occasionally.
My next blog post will be published on Saturday 31, 2020, and not on Friday as usual. It happens due to my celebration of Samhain on Saturday. My plan is to write right after my New Year´s ritual as a witch.
It is the beginning of my fifth year as a practicing eclectic witch. I plan to write a lot more about witchcraft in 2021 and to practice more often than I have done this strange and unfamiliar year of 2020.
So, new routines again trigger my desire to stay at home as much as possible. And with more energy, I want to embrace more magick in my daily life as a writer and a witch.
Tonight, I´m simply celebrating that I managed to pull myself together and cleared and cleaned our bedroom, where I keep my many instruments. Three guitars, one bass, one keyboard, and one set of drums.
Tomorrow, I plan to do the same for the remains of the first floor. Then it will be time for my witch´s den that needs to be ready for Samhain on Saturday. And so on, until we are through this overhaul.
It is a major victory for me because I physically have less energy than I prefer. So everything takes more time for me. But it is okay, Self, to do things at your own pace.
At the same time, new routines again are a constant reminder that some things just need to be done. And I participate as much as my limited physical energy will allow me to.
So, despite the negativity in the outside world, we are coping quite well, thank you. But, of course, we feel the Coronavirus closing in on us, too. Therefore, I need to rant every once in a while.
But tonight, everything feels okay from my point of view. Tonight, I enjoy life and the accomplishment of a big goal. And tonight, I reward myself for the little extra that I´m doing these weeks in October 2020.
May your evening be full of happiness, inner peace, good health, and kindness, dear readers and followers. And may these beautiful concepts be the new cool in our world. So Mote It Be.
