… where everything seems to be uphill from the beginning.
Nevertheless, I plan to create a miniature rocking chair, work on my upcoming Samhain witchcraft ritual, and write a couple of pages for my novel today.
Bad news, coming from every corner, it seems, can kiss my behind, pardon my French. I’m simply in too good a mood to spend time worrying, wondering, and guessing. Therefore, I actively choose to tune out from the outside world.
Just one of those days …
… where nothing seems to be worth touching throughout the morning.
But, no, definitely no!
I can’t, I won’t, and I shall not surrender myself to any kind of negativity today.
It may rain cats and dogs, it may prove to be a crazy day, and it may try to trigger my mental disorders big time.
I plan to have a great day, no matter what happens today.
I’m in a depressive mood these weeks, so I will have to short-circuit myself mentally to return to my preferred happy mood.
But this time, I take it easy and do things at my pace only.
Just one of those days …
… where life throws challenges at me without warning
I’m used to that after a difficult life so far. It’s when things are out of my control that I must adapt my reactions. So that I turn challenges into reasonable chunks of chores to attend one by one. Then, I can choose how to react without risking being way too emotional about it.
Today, I direct my creative energy into something beautiful by creating a rocking chair as part of my Samhain ritual. It reminds me of my ancestors; therefore, it will sit on my main altar, carrying photos of my loved ones behind the veil.
My plans also include preparing the ritual setup and writing my new pledge as a witch. And if my creative muse only would land on my shoulder again, I will be so pleased, dear Universe.
But, first, my husband and I need to take a PCR test because a dear friend has got the damned Coronavirus.
So, I sit here late in the morning, waiting for another friend to take us to the local test station. Waiting for that is just so uphill right now. But it calms me down to write here, and I will, of course, follow up with a result when I get it, dear readers and followers.
In the meantime, today’s pictures will be of my latest creation; a redecoration of my new spectacle cases and of my town after yesterday’s downpour.
Monday, I told my GP that I could not risk taking what he prescribed me regarding my new medication. The side effects may affect the heart, and I have a little trouble with my heart rhythm.
He was understanding; at least we had a good conversation on the phone.
My replacement strategy is to spend time being creative every day between 6 and 9 pm. Rather be a little restless than risk my physical health.
My mental health will be okay, too. I’m well medicated, and I have a high degree of compliance.
Just one of those days …
… where time seems to stand absolutely still, yet my thoughts are churning through my head.
Back at the keyboard after a long break, I’m still waiting. This time for an answer to whether or not I might have the Coronavirus. It will be late tomorrow morning, as we must expect up to twenty-four hours of waiting time.
It is annoying; it is everything but fun, and it is mentally tiresome to wait for something I wish weren’t necessary.
Tomorrow, therefore, there will be a short update here. So, dear Universe, please let the test be negative.
Just one of those days …
… where the outside world can take care of itself. Thank you, whoever infected my friend. Not.
I need to do something serious with today’s creative project, the rocking chair. So right after this blog post, I will begin gathering the necessary material to create it.
And for tonight, I will work on my upcoming Samhain ritual. In comes my novel, as from a different planet, into perspective.
I have enough thrill for today, thank you. I hope to channel it into a novel worth reading. Tonight will be a good time, indeed, to begin again-again touching that keyboard with my fingers.
I believe I have had a small writer’s block for some weeks now. But I fight back every inch of the way on the thin line between feeling insecure and being almost too absorbed.
Besides, I have a few extraordinary projects about some extra notes to create. If not for anything else that may spark my energy and make it possible to stay seated for enough time.
Just one of those days …
… where my thoughts and emotions are mixed between ups and downs all day long. I may have to cancel my counselor´s visit next Tuesday, but I´m lucky still because it is possible to ask for a phone call instead.
I have no symptoms whatsoever, yet I´m shaking from time to time. I´m fully vaccinated, but I certainly don´t need to try how it is to be infected with the Coronavirus.
I try not to think so much about it; I try to divert my mind with little creative projects, and I turn to extended naps when necessary.
It is Fall alright, weather gods, show me your best. Now it is so dark in my witch´s den that I need to light more than a candle, and so I will.
Just one of those days …
… may your weekend be filled with love, inner peace, and spiritual enlightenment, dear readers and followers.
May the world stop being so invasive into my private sphere. And may my mental disorders remain endurable, however active.
As I will it, so mote it be.
Merry meet, merry part, and merry meet again.
