Bobbing Bits
I have real posts coming- one is about storm magick. Actually, weather magick in general, but storms sound so much more exciting, don't you think?
Queen killed a pole cat. I thought it was a skunk because of the smell, but Kurt found the remains which weren't black and white. I decided it must be a pole cat. I have never actually seen a pole cat, I just knew it was a smelly skunk-like creature. I googled pole cat in images and was shocked to see pole cats are ferrets. I had no idea ferrets even lived in this part of the country. This might be what my father always called a weasel. Or maybe this is the little river otter thing I've seen under the bridge near Martin Dam. But whatever it was, it still stinks to the high heavens.
I'm working. A lot.
Music Monday will end. I get almost no hits on those posts so I must assume you don't like the same songs I do. I have one more scheduled and then that's it, no more.
Energy is in flux here. I don't know what, exactly, that means, but I do feel a building up, a shifting. I would like to know what others are sensing.
Still can't post pictures. Maybe when I finally get to the library I can try from a different computer...

Bits and Bobs
Enter the Give Away. Just enter. It runs for a while longer. I want to do give aways each month, but if no one really shows an interest, I won't do them. I haven't gotten much of a response, so if you want something for nothing you'd better start speaking up.
I'd say my banishing spell worked, even though Nancy is still around. I started the spell on Saturday. She wasn't at work that day, nor was she at work Monday. On Tuesday she breezed in, said she might be changing jobs, then didn't do much of anything. I suppose if she does leave today will be her last day, but now I don't care. I haven't dreamed about her and unless I see her at work I tend to forget she exists. No one is whispering behind my back. I'm good now.
Kurt and I have been watching BBC's 'Sherlock' which we love. We sit up late after working, watching the Netflix rentals and we feel sad when the show is over. Nothing to do but go to bed then eagerly check the mail over the next few days. We're halfway through the second disk of season one and I am afraid to see how many seasons were filmed because if there aren't anymore I will just be lost.
Yesterday it snowed but it didn't stick. Now it is ungodly cold and I don't want to change out of my flannel pajamas or put down my coffee cup.
I got garden porn in the mail yesterday- this one is herbs. I saw lots of plants I had only read about. These are live plants, not seeds, and all the plants are $5.95 It's The Grower's Exchange if you're interested and I am ordering chocolate mint. Actually, I'm getting a bunch of plants and all I've settled on, really must have, is chocolate mint.
The W2's started coming in, I'm doing laundry now, and the dogs are laying on their towels in the kitchen. I spread the towels out nice and neat. The dogs stand patiently beside me, tails wagging. Then I step back, the dogs lay down- and bunch the towels into a wad. I don't see the point, but the girls think it's great fun. Also great fun is getting to lick the bowls and pots when I cook. I am in one of my rare cooking moods. I really want to make stews, breads, and delicious baked confections, but I haven't had time. What little cooking I have done doesn't last because Kurt has been eating non-stop. I would hate to be trapped with him on an island with a pitiful little food supply because we would surely starve to death in under a week.
The waiting is the hardest part. During the summer I thought I was pregnant. I wasn't, so we decided to actually try for a baby. First, I determine the best time. Then I wait for that time. I have discovered ovulation doesn't occur at the same time every month. For the best chance, we start having sex, lots and lots of sex, a few days before, during, and after ovulation. We almost have sex every day except for those days when diabetes decides to be a bitch. Usually, low sugars occur on ovulation because diabetes is a bitch. After sex, I wait. I wonder if I am pregnant yet. I'm pretty sure I'm not, but I might be, so I don't drink alcohol. I'll get a splitting headache, reach for the painkillers, then remember my headache meds are blood thinners which shouldn't be taken during pregnancy. Am I or not? I'll try to tough it out. Then I get my period, diabetes is a bitch again, but at least I can have a drink to soothe my depression. I've tried to not care, to just blithely go through life and whatever happens happens. This doesn't work either. I am still sad when I get my period. Sometimes I am late, I'll feel hope swelling up, and I try not to get excited because I'm sure I will be disappointed again. Kurt already has two children. He had a vasectomy, then had it reversed two years ago. We have a 50% chance before diabetes gets thrown into the mix. I try not to think about the numbers because it just seems so impossible. Let's talk about something else.
I sort of got Blogger to post pictures. Maybe I can do Silent Sundays again. Then my readers, all three of you, can have something pretty to see. Look! Horse! Pretty! I can't do it the easy way where I take a pic with my phone or save something I saw on Pinterest. I'm having to go sideways again. Stupid Blogger.
Speaking of Pinterest, Kurt went for a haircut. I probably only have a little while before the computer hog returns so I'm going to go pin cool shit.

Me Time (Finally!) & Banishing a Stalker
It's my day off. Kurt has to work. I made him drive himself so I could have more time alone.
I got up an hour early to have my computer. Bliss. Just bliss. Cup of coffee and Pinterest. I was so happy.
Next, I worked in the yard. I raked around in mulch to aerate the soil around my plants, then added fertilizer. We are having very warm weather. It feels like spring. I know this is a false promise of warmth, the sleet and ice will be here soon, but that doesn't stop me from loving the weather. My land base tells me I should clean my yard, it's okay to put out sturdy decorations, and soon I can plant seeds. Not now, but soon.
I've been cleaning the house all day. This is important magickal work because yesterday I did a banishing spell. I think a cleansing should always follow a banishing. Always.
In my last post, I mentioned I was being stalked psychically. What I mean is this person doesn't do anything to me in the real world, but she does push the creepy envelope in my dreams. She's the reason why I bought a dream catcher. (She's the co-worker I mentioned before when both Kurt and I were having stabbing dreams- at the same time.) I had ANOTHER dream about her:
I am driving over a one lane bridge. It has rained recently and the water is high. I look down and see a snake laying on a rock in the creek. I want to photograph the snake. I drive across the bridge, park my truck on the side of the road, and start walking back across. I am sure I will be safe because the snake is in the water and cannot reach me. When I start to lean over the rail, I see lots of snakes- on the bridge. They are laying on the rails. I am nervous because I know the snakes are poisonous. I start wishing I was somewhere else. Suddenly the dream shifts and I am at work. Someone calls my name. I turn to see Nancy standing behind me.
Snake dreams are generally considered bad. Snakes in dreams usually represent an enemy.
Kurt and I discussed my dream. I think the water represents strong emotion and since I was driving over it, I am probably 'above' these feelings and water probably isn't about my emotions but is someone else's feelings. I think wanting to photograph the snake means I want to see things as the really are or maybe I've sensed something isn't right so I wish to study the idea more. And as for Nancy, I think that's obvious. Kurt thinks she has a crush on me. This could be and it could be that she's really angry about it because she's in denial about being a lesbian.
Kurt has seen Nancy one time when he dropped me off at work and he immediately asked me if she was gay. She just gives off the gay vibe. She is complains about a series of failed relationships and why can't she find the right guy? It is always on the tip of my tongue to say, have you tried looking for a girl? I never say this; it would be rude. I think everyone else is thinking the same thing because no one ever comments on her relationship woes. Ever.
After the snake dream, I decided I needed to work some magick. I settled on banishing because I don't know what is going on, but the energy is unsettling. Yesterday I named a candle 'Nancy' and sprinkled banishing powder around it. (I made the powder last year with several spicy herbs- I like to make spells and store them for later because you never can predict all the things heading your way.) When I went to work, Nancy was absent. Yay! Work went very well despite it being a Saturday. We were all tired and bummed about losing a weekend, but everything went smoothly.
In a perfect world, Nancy would get fired for being out. She's absent a lot so that's a possibility. But I know I'm probably not done. And after I told Kurt about my dream, I realized the bridge was a real place. I used to drive across it all the time when I was dating M. This makes me wonder if I met Nancy a long time ago and just forgot her. M knew lots of people. He has the gift of gab, he makes friends easy, he's sociable and outgoing. Maybe I already met Nancy ages ago at some party, I blew her off then, now we're working together and I have no clue who she is. That would be hurtful twice though it's not intentional on my part.
So why don't I just tell Nancy off? Because other than the time I heard her talking about me, she hasn't done anything. Did I do anything when I caught her? No, because the people she was talking to defended me. All I can do is be on guard.

Computer Hog
I barely have time to pay the water bill online, let alone check my mail. Somebody has been playing games. Every waking minute. Mmmmhhhhmmmmm.
So- the give away. Just email me. It would be nice if give away was in the subject line, but this isn't necessary because I get very little mail at that account. If I don't respond I am probably reading my mail on my phone and well, I can't manage to respond to anything because instead of clicking 'send' I snap the slide shut thus closing my Internet connection. I do this every single time. If you write a lot, I probably can't read it on my phone anyway because instead of going to the next page, the phone takes me to to the next email. So I need my computer to read long stuff and I can't get on the computer because Kurt is playing Battle Pirates on Facebook.
I am doing a lot of cool stuff with my yard and house. I have no idea if Blogger got over its brain fart and is once again allowing me to post pics. Not that I've had time to photograph anything.
I really don't have time to do anything. Lunch was eaten today in the parking lot at work because I was late coming home from the store. I have to work Saturday so it is doubtful I'll hold a needle anytime soon.
I am having some funky dreams. And whenever I have a freaking spare minute, I'll tell you about the lesbian in denial who psychically stalking me.
Stay tuned. Things are just warming up.

I hate Blogger
I finally got a picture of this Month's give away.
I couldn't post the picture.
Every time I tried, the browse box simply never came up so I couldn't search for anything. Not on my computer, not by my phone, not anywhere, anyhow. Nothing.
If anyone who works for Blogger is reading this, I would like it if all the functions of your website actually functioned. All the time. Whenever I click on something. Just a little heads up, people will be more likely to use Blogger if they can use it. That should be obvious, but evidently it is not because I encounter some of the most ridiculous problems.
I finally got the picture up by taking a side-step approach. I'd rather not have to trick my blog like that. Up for grabs is a magnet which states 'Harm None Unless they deserve it' The magnet is to the right of this page and I just assume you can see it. I could be wrong. Maybe the blog looks nothing like the way I intend. To enter the give away, email me TheWitchFreeDragon@gmail.com I must have some way to get your address. Please don't post your real name and address on this blog where everyone can see it. You can enter as many times as you like and I will come up with some random way to pick a winner on January 31. On the first Saturday of February, I'll start another give away. Fun, fun.

Day One of 2013
I started the New Year off right with a kiss at midnight.
We got netflix and my man has been glued to the computer so many of the things I planned for this blog may not get out exactly how I planned. Like the giveaway, which I don't have a picture of yet, so (sigh) bear with me.
I started exercising again a few days ago. I'm sticking with it. If one of your goals involves fitness, know this:
It takes 4 weeks for you to see a change in your body.
It takes 8 weeks for your loved ones to notice the changes in your body.
It takes 12 weeks for the rest of the world to notice the new you.
Stick with it and don't give up. Start now and be sexy in March.
I cleaned my house last night. I knocked down all the cobwebs and redid a few house spells. I tried something I found on Pinterest for cleaning my cabinets- microwave orange peels in vinegar for one minute. I dipped a rag into the mixture then wiped down my cabinet doors. The rag got so grimy and nasty that I threw it out. This is supposed to have a rich orange smell but I didn't notice anything. The cabinets are very shiny. I have a gas stove so everything in the kitchen ends up with a film of brown gunk on it. Gross. If I do this again, I'll pour the mix into a spray bottle for easier use. I think would would make a great banishing spell.
The release challenge is over but I plan to keep working towards my goals. I haven't exactly made resolutions. Instead I'm setting goals and each month I'll write a review in my journal so I can measure progress. Later today I'll do a tarot reading for the year ahead and I'd like to compare that to each month's journal entry.
I am almost done with my needlepoint. I'll post pics of the finished project and I have a lot to say about elements of the work.
Tomorrow (I hope) I'll have some journal enteries to share and the giveaway will be ready to go.
Happy New Year!
