The Powers That Be Smile

Today started like any other day when my Dh is off work. He waits impatiently for me to wake up. Then announces he is hungry. He went to the store for me and when he got back I started cooking breakfast. Today was bacon, eggs, and toast.

The eggs we had are store bought, so imagine my surprise when I got a double yolked egg. I looked up the odds, it's 1 in 1000. So imagine my uber-super surprise when tonight, I cooked more eggs (had egg and bologna sandwiches) and I got another double yolk in the same carton.

Then Dh had a butterfly land on his hand. Butterfly's are a sign of transformation and change.

We had to run an errand today, so we ended up missing a call about a job for Lance. We'll call them Monday. So hopefully that isn't too late. Oh I hope this works out. Our errand was about re-doing our certification to be in this low-income apartment. We were just saying today that we couldn't believe its been a year, and that we hoped we wouldn't have to be here another year. I hope that wish is coming true.

Keep all your fingers and toes crossed for us!

Thanks Ender pup for the title inspiration.

Friday Ramblings

Hello Everyone,

This post topic is going to be all over the place because I have several things on my mind. First off, if you work with a family member, do they ever get so lazy that you just wish you worked alone sometimes? I mean I could work alone. But the ritual I wrote is for the whole family. Dh has been like that this week. I wrote a very nice Ostara ritual and every night he's not in the mood or too tired. If he doesn't get his sweet little butt in gear by this weekend we'll do it without him.

Secondly, I have a bit of good advice. I have an interview for a job Monday morning. It's for an answering service position. Hopefully I get it because DH's job reduced his hours to 30 to avoid giving him insurance. That's one downside to Obamacare. Employers will always try to get around the system if they can.

There's also been some annoying things happen in my life. Some I worry about more than others. The biggest one is that Sierra broke her glasses the other day again. These have been the worst frames ever. They've broken about 5 times now. The tech at the eye doctors broke them twice. So that tells me it's not just Sierra being careless. Which means that my daughter can't see well. She's been very whiny this week and has barely completed any of her work. We will have to work through the weekend to try to catch up.

Second annoyance. Today someone "helpfully" rewrote one of my chapters of Guarding Humanity. While her intention was pure, her methods were not. She didn't ask first. I thought I was being too sensitive so I asked a few other writers, who assured me I was not acting with little girl panties. I did kindly ask her to stick to reviewing and not rewrites.

Third and final annoyance. I have had a song in my head for a week now. Every time I sleep I hear it in my head playing over and over. It's just one part of it too. I'll link the video of the song, but its not my fault if it gets stuck in your head too. 

Toward the end it starts lyrics talking about many women who join together and walk into the sea. Many years ago when I first heard this song I received a vision. I saw myself and a few other women doing just that. A group of village people were after us. We knew we would not get away. So instead of being burned at the stake we decided to commit suicide by walking into the sea. It was a very powerful and emotional vision. I was in tears by the time it was over. 

I've always wondered if the writer of that song was either one of the women, or if there is an historical record of such an event happening. If anyone knows, I'd be grateful if you enlightened me. 

There is always bright moments in my day. Enjoy my son saying HI. :) 

Update on Job Hunt

So today I did the job interview for the data entry temp. job. The woman seemed impressed with my work history. Overall I think it went well. I have to wait for a call back for a second interview after the company hiring reviews my resume'.

 But that's not really why I'm writing. Though I did want to tell my readers that I might have a job in the very near future, I wanted to tell about my journey to and from my interview.

I am horrible at following driving directions. Which is why owning a GPS is a godsend. However a GPS doesn't know that its sending you into a bad neighborhood, or as in today's case, a gravel road! I knew I'd be traveling country roads, and coming from Kentucky back roads are nothing to balk about. Though I refuse to drive them during winter storms. I'm use to up and down hills, one lane roads, shear drop offs, pot holes, and various animals crossing the road.

I saw all that today. It is beautiful country. But not once in my driving "career" have I saw a gravel road that wasn't just a long driveway - until today! It was a very beautiful country. I wish I had a camera with me to capture it. I'm going to have to get a little mini digital because lately I have saw many places I'd love to photograph but have no camera with me.

I went 5 miles on this gravel road which BTW I could not do over 15 mph because it was so rough. Well I could, but my husband wouldn't have been to happy with me ruining the front end of our car.

On the way back I asked for directions and found state route 35 toward Chillicothe to follow. It still led me to the back roads once I got close to our town. I didn't want to go all the way into Chillicothe or else I'd be backtracking to get home. But the exciting part on my return is that I saw a hawk swoop down into a corn field to catch prey. Hawks have a very powerful symbolic meaning.  They mean vision, intuition, power, energy, leadership, and focus. I think seeing the hawk is a sign that we are were we are on the right track. I really wanted to get a picture of him. He sat there on the ground next to the corn field till I drove past him. I thanked him for his message and drove on so I didn't disturb his hunting.
