Missed a Day
Yes, I did miss a day and did not post yesterday. I figure I do need a break now and then, and since last week was so frantically busy, I decided that after the Lughnasadh ritual, that I would take some time and just relax. The ritual was nice and relaxed. Outside of our core group of four people, we only had two other people show up. I was not particularly concerned about there not being more of them though. I liked that it was small.
We cast the circle and then I did the reading I posted a couple days ago. After that, I played the song "John Barleycorn" by Steeleye Span and we danced the circle to raise some energy. Then there was a blessing of cakes and cider (not ale, cause of any younger folk who might be there). We used a cornbread I had made (and have leftovers of, which sound yummy about now). Then the Priestess did a blessing over some microwave popcorn (we were being inventive and fun), and we all got some blessed popcorn to take home with us. We opened the circle and then went to the dining room for snacks and drinks.
One of the people who was new, enjoyed things and has asked to come to our regular meetings, the next of which is at my apartment, which will be in disarray, since I am packing to move. What am I saying? My apartment is already in disarray. I have the long bookshelf of brick and board shelves packed in boxes now. That is A-G and some of H of my softcover fantasy collection. Yes, I have my books alphabetical by author, and within that they are in order by release date unless they are in a series, then series come first then release date.
I should get some more things packed as well. Maybe I should pack up the stuff in my closet since I barely go in there, especially in the summer. I have so much stuff! I do have over a month to pack still. I am just going to need tons more boxes though. I got 15 boxes today. I have six banana boxes that are empty also, and might have some other boxes I can fiddle with. If you haven't guessed, I have entirely too much to do, and I tend to get slightly obsessive with worrying about all of it.
Maybe you can be excited tomorrow as I make lists of all the things I need to do for the move. I am a list person. I make lots of lists. I should likely get rid of some of my accumulated stuff. I am sure that there is just some that I don't need, and is just taking up space, which I will have less of in the new place. I guess I will figure out what I am doing as I pack.
