A slightly Better Week

This week was a little calmer than last week.

Although TS finally started working on the leak - it was a HOT water leak, so the underside of our house has been thoroughly steamed. He got the leak fixed pretty quickly, but will now be spending his days removing the old damp flooring and insulation, drying out under the house, replacing the insulation and then the flooring, and getting the carpet and flooring repaired.

Doesn't that sound like fun?

My work has calmed down a little.

We got the call that Magic's ashes are ready to pick up.

We can't put a Mimosa tree down where I wanted to put the Angel Dog statue, and both dogs ashes (Suzie and Magic) it would get too much water and die. We might do a weeping willow down there instead. Which would be okay.

Any cats will go there as well.

I might look for an angel cat statue to put there too, in memory of all our cats. Maybe two cats, because we've had a lot of cats.

Sounds a little morbid, doesn't it?

So, on to better things.

Because I had such a bad week last week I went on a tarot buying spree.

I bought the Dreampower tarot.

The Labyrinth Tarot

Tarot of Metamorphosis

Hermetic Tarot

and the Tarot of Transformation.

I may also buy a 22 card art tarot, the Quantum Tarot.

This week's deck is the Faery Wicca deck, which I am not sure I like. It's a little too much on the Celtic side, and uses a lot of the myths and legends of that culture as its archetypes.

I like the idea of Celtic stuff, but I'm not so up on most of the minor legends.

I have been thinking about...

prejudices, and where they come from. How people can change they way they feel about other people. Also about ways we should treat each other better. Also about the Virginia Tech massacre. The parents and families of those people - it's just awful. It makes my little problems seem pretty small.

Accomplishments

This week I didn't accomplish much. I was happy just to make it to work every day, and be wearing clothes.

Goals for the coming week.

I want to get back on track. Back to eating better, back to exercising (I tried this week, but I just didn't have the heart) and back to wearing better clothes. Wearing makeup every day. Wearing jewelry every day.

Other goals are to get my photos downloaded onto the computer, to keep up with all my other things, like cleaning the house, even though our house will be a construction zone for a few weeks, and starting to play guitar again, and writing again.

Weekly Gift

My weekly gift this week was this cool t-shirt that I'd seen but the first store I saw it in didn't have it in my size. So yay, now I have it.

Quote of the week

"There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness."

- Carl Jung -
