Week 34 of 2022
Aug. 21st, 2022 09:34 amI found this weekly planning tarot spread on Pinterest. I use the Sacred Circle tarot deck.
1. Weekly theme: Knight of Disks - Husbandry
2. Beginning of the week: The Tower
3. Middle of the week: 7 of Cups - Delusion
4. End of the week: 2 of Cups - Harmony
5. The weekend: 5 of Disks - Restriction
6: What am I to learn?: Initiation
This week looks pretty standard, although we're beginning to deep clean in preparation for the baby.
Today my primary focus is the entryway closet. It's jammed. Not overfull, just disorganized to the point we can't open or close the door without a fight.
I had to start the baby blanket over. I'd gotten careless with my stitch count, and "wonky" barely covers the results. Two thirds of it, unraveled and balled up, back in the basket while I cuss myself for an idjut. But if I do ten rows a day I can have it done by the end of the week, or by the end of next week if I pace myself to five rows.
I decided I don't want to learn French - Canadian or otherwise. I'll pick up on what people are saying around me on an as-needed basis. I'm going back to Esperanto. My goal is to be able to create materials for other learners and speakers of the language since there's so little out there.
This week I'm reading Write Blog Posts Readers Love, by Henri Junttila. I'm considering this blog as a practice blog. Eventually I want to set up one that can be monetized. We're going to need all the financial help we can get!
I'm in the thick of doing revision notes for SotN Draft 0. I figure they'll be done by the end of September, even with a generous fudge ratio. Normally I would then start typing Draft 1 in October. Instead I'll peck at worldbuilding and little side quests, probably until December, so we can get ready for / enjoy the arrival of my first granddaughter.
My health is getting better in proportion to the work I put into it. Slow, steady increments with the occasional low-energy and/or high-pain day. Getting enough fruits and veg in my diet continues to be difficult. I may do a seven-day challenge this week to get between three and five servings in every day. I did reboot my 30-Day Plank Challenge because I'd missed more than I achieved. I'm doing wall planks, because there's no way in hell my disabled ass is getting up and down off the floor. I've been pretty good at getting up at 6:00 am and being in bed by 10:00 pm, except for the last few days, and my overall energy levels have suffered as a result.
My praxis has been non-existent. That's because I'm Hekatean, and Hekate is customarily worshiped at dusk. Well, by then I'm usually tired, overstimulated, and totally done. I don't have any energy or focus to give Her. So I've decided that it's better to do my praxis at a non-customary time than not at all. I'll be working out when and what that is as I go along.
