Yesterday was pretty freaking awesome. :-D
It was also pretty freaking *long*, but the awesome was definitely there. :-)
I got up somewhere between 3am and 4am, and didn't get back to sleep (beyond a few minutes at a time) until about 6am. Which mean that, all in all, I had about five - maybe five and a half - hours of sleep on Wednesday night/ Thursday morning.
Given that? Yesterday was pretty amazing. :-)
I had therapy. Wherein I actually had some sort of a break through (as opposed to a break down -- good thing).
Then I had a huge breakfast at Dunns[1].
Then I had work for three hours which was pleasant and full of customers I actually like and no-one being stupid (here's hoping today, and all of next week, are like that, too).
Then I went shopping.
I got myself a big ($9.99!) purse from work - along with a warm and casual cotton sweater for me and a mock-croc cuff bracelet (like mine) for my cousin-in-law[2] - so that I could use it (the purse) as a more professional-looking carry-all bag. My note-book fits in there, and my water bottle. Also, there's an outside pocket where I can keep my makeup, and an inside pocket that *might* just hold my wallet (and my sunglasses *might* fit in the cell-phone holder, so that would be handy).
I then went to Redeau, picked up a big bottle of white wine (for the house) and a bottle of caramel Bailey's for the Schola pot-&-bottle-luck after-party tonight (among other things), as well as some stocking stuffers (mugs from the dollar store) for the respective boyfriends of my sister and my mom, and a purple eyeshadow trio for that same cousin-in-law.
I need to hit up a Value Village over the weekend to find a sweater for my sister's boyfriend, and then I think I'm pretty much done the xmas shopping. The rest is just down to waiting for things to show up in the mail. (Which I hope they bloody hurry up and do!)
A somewhat expensive afternoon, yes, but well-worth-it. :-D
Then I came home and had the strange-yet-nice-yet-weird feeling that you get when you realize "I don't have to write anything today -- I could if I wanted to, but if I have other things to get done (such as my schola evaluation form), I can do those instead."
Wah. :-)
Then I had schola - last class. Which is about where I started crashing.
We did no-tools, no-words circle casting -- which is awesome because, well, that's how I do it anyway, so YAY-no-stupid-props-to-get-in-my-freaking-way. :-)
The last class in the comments-and-course-evaluation class. So not much in the way of energetic theory and, beyond the initial casting, not much in terms of practice either.
My group, while totally awesome, does have some trouble focusing. Which, when your adrenaline is wearing off fast, and that's really all you're going on... that's not good. Frazzled Energy is hard enough for me to handle at the best of times, it's worse when I'm worn down to the nub.
Anyway. I got to call in Deity, so I asked Maia to come in, and she did, and it was lovely and wonderful. :-)
Having a deity inside you feels... weird.
At once very heavy and like you're floating.
At once very strange and very familiar (although that last bit may have to do with who it was I called -- I've known her for quite a few years now).
Anyway. I was thinking about it and going "Oh. So that's what Numinous feels like." :-)
Anyway, that was cool.
But, yeah. I got home and I just crashed. Bed, sleep. Very quickly.
And now it's about 8am on Friday morning. I need to shower and I need to make some mint-chocolate-chip pound cake, and I need to write up my grocery list for tomorrow, and then I need to go to work.
- TTFN,
- Amazon. :-D
[1] Which turned out to be the only actual *meal* I had all day - so it's a damn good thing I went with the big one, isn't it?
[2] I drew her name in the annual gift-exchange draw - I'm getting her a basket of Goodies. ;-)
