Things Are Definitely Moving

You know how it goes when you’re trying to, for example, clean out a closet or garage or other area that’s very disorganized – you make a much bigger mess before you actually create anything like order from the chaos. Yeah. That’s my life for the last two months, and it’s accelerating, compounding, and taking over. While it’s great to see so many things breaking free from the stagnancy that has ruled them for so long (sometimes it’s years that have passed), it’s terrifically exhausting and enormously time consuming.
Meridjet makes himself available when I need him but for the most part has elected to step out of the way (so to speak) and allow events to follow their natural course. Or so it seems. Here’s a quick bullet list of everything that’s long overdue and actively progressing in my life right now (i.e. taking up big chunks of time):
- Home related
- Home improvement to both my converted garage and the main house adjacent – from new siding to gutting the house to clearing out entire rooms to redo to emptying very large storage areas and reconfiguring
- Yard & garden restoration from a point of “overgrown field of weeds and wildflowers”
- General but extensive purge of unneeded items in preparation for yard sale once the whole mess is done
- Reconfiguring altar space and ritual work area in preparation for renewal of daily ritual (and dreaming of a large, air conditioned shed with windows to work in)
- Reading a great book on spirits in the random free moment, called Encyclopedia of Spirits by Judika Illes; go check it out, seriously
- Writing my book on spirit companions, and yes it is progressing, though not daily, alas
- Restoring Rending the Veil to full archives and pages
- Creating and configuring the art galleries for RTV that have been “pending” for two years – I have a lot done and help on the rest when I find time
- Devising a new series of magical workings that I intend to undertake this year
- Working through therapy while observing the incredible synchronicity between any lesson Meridjet is prompting and any work in my therapist’s office (and it’s very taxing)
- Related: Struggling in my personal relationships with family and friends, and self – setting boundaries where they’ve been lacking and striving to give my share where I’ve fallen short
- Taking four dogs to be spayed/neutered on Thursday morning at 4:30 a.m., waiting in line for three hours to get a spot with the local Spay/Neuter Assistance Program (SNAP)
- Caring for four new kittens that are almost weaned, old enough to go to new homes but not old enough to neuter; if I take them to the pet shop, it’s a load off my mind, but if I hold out another six weeks for neutering and shots I can potentially get about $300 for them
- Learning to understand my new ferret and devoting up to two hours a day to play time, which is almost always inconvenient, and the playpen that allows free play is currently corralling four rambunctious kittens
And on top of all this, trying very hard to get financially stable enough that I’m paid up on all my bills and don’t have to borrow money to make it through the month.
I’m guessing it’s obvious why this blog has been thin on content. I did not expect this month to be slow on the blog, but the home related stuff takes up an incredible chunk of time daily and I’m under pressure to (mostly alone) accomplish a lot of work within the next 10 days or so. And so, there it goes. *watches time fly away*
I owe you folks some sweet content when I reach the other side of this demanding schedule. I hope you won’t desert me in the interim. Enjoy your spring! I’ll be here soon.

We’ll be thinking of you. I will send some blessings your way. Hope it all works out.
Thanks!
I wouldn’t worry too much about not blogging consistantly this month, it seems to have just been the energy. I have had moments of wondering whether I was ever going to find the way or will or words to ever blog again. But maybe it was just the Venus rx finally going direct? And we are all (in our own ways) working our our relationships to our immediate and physical environments? You are getting your home environment together, you are working on your book, yourself AND RTV-that really is alot, Sheta!
Yeah. I need to do a post detailing all this, for the benefit of my family (who may or may not read it), because they seriously assume that 1) I have loads and loads of free time because I don’t have a “real job” and so much has gone undone for a couple of years with regard to the house and yard, and 2) my work on RTV, the book, or anything else that isn’t turning a buck is not worthy of my time or their respect. I’m seriously disturbed by what I’ve been hearing through the family grapevine regarding what people say about me behind my back.
I vacillate between whining that I’ll never measure up, no matter what, and throwing a tantrum because they dare to disdain my work while everything they do is the model of societal perfection. Grr.
Hey, look at it this way. You could have spent a month posting mostly about the same thing in different variations. or spent your month doing busy work and stressing out over someone who should not have any sort of authority. (what, me bitchy?
)
Ha ha. See other comment. I have other boundaries to draw and power to reclaim wrt my family, but don’t feel worthy of doing so until I reach some sort of recognizable (to them) “success.” I may never accomplish that, because our definitions of what’s important don’t match well. So yeah… stressing over etc. as you said. Therapy helps me realize stuff.
Have I posted boring, repetitive content at times before?
You should hear about the friend I said goodbye to. It broke my heart… so bad. But she was given a whopping four years worth of patient waiting and allowing her space, no pressure, and in the end it was something she said in her blog about being pushed away by a guy she liked that woke me up to the fact that not only was she doing the same to me (which I knew), but clearly knew how it must feel and didn’t care. I still mourn her, but mostly because I’m still suffering the pain and confusion of not understanding why it all started. Gah. Shut up, Sheta.
Well, I haven’t seen anything boring or repetitive of yet, but I know my lj has been full of it lately. (so glad that’s almost over!)
About the friend, ugh. Though who knows if she was aware, sometimes people can have some weird tunnel vision regarding them own behavior.
and now for me to get my stuff together to finish my class work.
Man, it’s been a rough couple of months for you. I do hope it all smooths out soon, so sanity’s sake. While keeping busy is a good thing, keeping too busy will wear you too thin and eventually cause bad stress. Just don’t overdo it, okay?
