Winter meander


Random thoughts on a winter's day

After I got home yesterday, it was spitting snow and the internet was down.

Great excuse for fuzzy blankets in front of the fire.

No company this time around, but I did love watching the flames.

So with my hot grapefruit juice close at hand (don't knock it till you've tried it), I mulled over the world.

Overall, things are going well. The gods do their gardening and the wheel turns.

Think about it, you'll know what I mean.

Would I do things differently if I were "in charge?"

Probably, but then that's why I'm only in charge of me.

I made it though most of the holiday season without driving either myself or my family/friends nuts. That's a very good thing, and the first time in years. Guilt stops being the gift that keeps on giving when you don't pick it up.

I can't go barefoot in the winter, but I still skip the shoes whenever I can. There's something decadent about warm fuzzy socks when I put my feet up in front of the fire.

I was doing some painting a few months ago and I bought myself a couple of pairs of overalls. One of the great things about overalls is pockets, an absolute necessity for a technopagan. If I have to wear something at home, it might as well be something with pockets. I can carry my Palm on my chest, and that little pocket low on the right leg is perfect for the tool pouch from my computer bag. I still wouldn't wear them outside the house though.

I broke out the fire salts last night and watched the different colors.

Usually this time of year it's the Christmas carols I can't get out of my head, which makes me grumpy. This year it's "The Holly and the Ivy." I substituted the Pagan lyrics, which made me much happier.

Okay, I'll admit it. Sometimes there are years I stay grumpy. I'll have to work on that.

People still laugh sometimes about me naming gadgets and gizmos. But I can usually get more out of them then they can.
