Update from the trenches

I did do much this week. The major event was due, to facility policies, I had to buy a microwave and a new laundry basket. The microwave delivery is late and I can’t enjoy my coffee and popcorn at my customary hour of 4 a..m. Also, I can’t login into Disney plus. This is making frustrated. Imbolc, the Wiccan holiday between winter solstice and spring equinox, was on February 1. I put my crystals outside to absorb the sacred energy of this day.

Happy Imbolc!

Imbolc is a pagan holiday lasting from February 1 to sundown on February 2. It marks the halfway mark between winter solstice and spring equinox. This holiday celebrated Brigid, the Celtic goddess of wells, fire, blacksmiths and healing waters.

Today, in Northern California, it is cold. I am going to put my crystals out in the sun to absorb sacred energy and wait for my microwave oven. Ways to celebrate Imbol:

Light a fire and toast some marshmallows

Make a Brigid cross

Make a Brigid doll

Go within to connect with intuition, higher self, spirit guides and ancestors.

This Sunday I went to San francisco, had corned beef hash at Mel’s and saw Pat. I wasn’t feeling well and Nicholas and I had a long talk about the family history of allergies and the possibility of my diarrhea and runny nose being due to allergies. I will get a referral to an allergist when I see Dr. Nozaki. I ran out of Movies to watchso I used the Reelgood app to find some more good movies.
