strangers in the dark
Aug. 1st, 2020 06:09 am Hey. It certainly has been awhile.
Sometimes I forget what day it is and other days, the time goes by so fast I wonder how I ever managed getting all the housework done and going to work.
Looks like we might be headed to another stay at home order if people keep up the bullshit of not wearing masks and not social distancing. Then again, how long can you expect people to live like this? Suicide rates are up and many children are stuck at home in abusive situations when previously they at least had school to escape from home with friends and free lunches. It is really heartbreaking. I know that if there is another lock down, most of the restaurants and small businesses in my charming town will not survive. And what's the final option to get back to normal-a vaccine that has not gone through the appropriate testing and peer reviewed studies? No thanks.
In other news, I am doing Gardnerian Outer Court. Looking forward to being a student this time rather than leading, the way I did with the old group. Very excited for this opportunity, especially because it was approved for us to do Zoom rituals for the next year until we see what happens with Covid. We will meet in person as well, but the frequency really is depending on travel regulations. We've discussed the possibility of me moving to Charlotte but obviously, that's not anything to worry about right now. I feel totally safe with this group, and knowing some of the people involved beforehand definitely made me feel more confident that this was the right choice for me.
Finally was able to get out and get a salon appointment, my hair feels so much better now. Trying a few new methods to keep from getting split ends and becoming too dry, hopefully it works out so I can continue to grow my hair out. She had to cut off more than I wanted because it was so damaged :(
I just reached a saving goal I had set for myself at the beginning of 2019!! Sometimes, it is hard for me not compare myself to other people my own age-it always seems like everyone has more than me. In reality, the home, the cars, vacations, the latest iPhone etc is mostly on credit and payments. These people do not truly own it. One day I hope to be able to buy a small like cottage or something that is perfect for me and within a reasonable budget. Sometimes I even seen those manufactured homes that look nice and more stable than a traditional trailer. Owning a home outright still a long way off, but I am really proud of myself for meeting this milestone :D
