One of those lives

I am having one of those lives at the moment, due to the run up to the festering season (everyone has panicked, hit the Witchcraft website, and ordered stuff which needs to be sent NOW! All well and good, but the new site only went up last night, and prior to that, it has been eating people's credit card details). Also decorating. Also impending guests. Also impending Druidic invasion at the weekend. Also novel to finish. Also Also....we've all been there.

This has led to a lot of attempted organisation, which has then been sabotaged by yours truly: e.g. trying to get ahead by making meals in advance.

Put soup on stove to heat up, for thermos lunch. Tidy guest room. Fill out Xmas meat order. Feed animals. Intend to do flyers for book signing tomorrow. Completely forget about soup. And flyers. Go to Post Office. Remember soup at PO counter. Rush home, salvage soup, print out flyers, rush back to open shop.

A customer just dropped something loud. Onto something else.

And this is just this morning. I expect we'll survive.

Yule/Alban Arthuan

Recently, in the context of a kerfuffle over Xmas trees/menorahs at Seatac airport, someone elsewhere on LJ asked me about Yule/Solstice, and what we do for it. Getting united opinions out of pagans is like the legendary herding of cats, but this is what our household does:( Read more... )

Ladies!

I am eating miso soup with soy RIGHT NOW. Given its remarkable and recently discovered gay-izing powers, I fully expect to become a lesbian by the end of the day. With this in mind, please form an orderly queue.

What do you mean 'it's not supposed to work that way?' Seems as logical as the original argument....
