We are all moved in and have started the unpacking process – and I have no furniture! I knew that I would need to pick up some pieces when we moved. A one bedroom apartment into a three bedroom town house was going to leave some holes. But I wasn’t expecting to have whole rooms bare.
I don’t even have a dining room table. I didn’t have a dining room before. Luckily, my taste in furniture tends to run pretty retro, so I am hoping to save a few bucks by stalking the local Sally Ann. My brother also has a friend who’s uncle might be looking for carpentry work, so I might also get my bed built for less than I was expecting to pay.
I am hoping to have some of the house put together in time for a house-warming party that I am planning to coincide with the Equinox.
Once things have found their natural routine, I am going to get back to work on my photos. I have quite the backlog of post production to get through. I haven’t even finished with my pictures from Mexico yet.
I don’t spend a whole lot of time online any more. I have been reading LJ the past couple of days, but I don’t think I will get caught up any time soon.
I think that leaving the internet might be a part of my moving away from the Pagan community as a whole. I am finding myself less and less interested in what other Pagans do.
I don’t really care about many of the issues and outrages that I used to. I caught a post on Jet’s LJ about P/W, and I went over there to take a look. I couldn’t bring myself to even open one thread. I just didn’t want to go around in the same circles again. The thought of watching the same old trolls flinging the same old muck holds no appeal for me.
My spiritual dry spell has been going on for several months now. I still do a bit of divining, but that is really about it. My life has moved to a more earthy phase, I think – home, career, family, physical fitness, etc. Not a lot of room for much else.
I think that it’s ok, though. I spent years trying to chase down who I was and what I believe. Now it’s time to build the life I want to live.
Anyway, I am still alive, and occasionally watching from the sidelines.
