Happy Samhain!

 

Blessed Samhain!!

One of my favorite days of the year, followed closely by Christmas Eve.

I also like Thanksgiving, New Years Eve but the others, at least the traditional ones…I can take them or leave them.

As far as the Pagan Sabbats, I love Samhain, Yule and Midsummer.

But I respect all of them and I respect all religions celebrations, if not in action, then in honor and like I said, respect.

As my Dad told me, there is more than one path that leads to the kingdom of heaven.

I have so much to do at work but it should go fast. I’m all dressed up and I picked a “costume” that would transfer nicely to practicing ritual tonight. I’m not going to do anything fancy for ritual but a little something.

I also have to order candy because my daughter and I decided to hand it out tonight. We have to put a sign on the door.

And we have some candy but not enough to do it like I like to do it.

Ok, that was expensive.

Geez.

Money.

I love and hate it.

Things at work are amping up. I got a “look” when I voiced that I was taking my PTO tomorrow.

I don’t trust them to pay it out and I don’t think they pay out PTO anyways. Anyway they can save a buck, this company does that, unless it’s to acquire a new building as opposed to sinking those funds into technology, their current employees and the residents.

God forbid you spend money on that.

Evil. Greed.Selfish.

No bueno.

But I had conversations with several residents yesterday and I have a list of folks I’m giving my phone number to and those who want to give me theirs.

It’s raining this morning. The drive in was treacherous and scary. It’s extremely difficult to see at night when I drive now but if it’s raining or snowing, or the ground is wet, then I’m completely blinded, so the drive in was bad. I don’t know how to offset that. Supposedly, yellow lens’ help with that but I tried it and it didn’t make a difference.

Tomorrow is my new year.

I have to write out a spell and ritual for tonight.

I’m unable to do it the way I’d like to but my intent is pure and that’s what counts.

Bla.

I can’t wait until tomorrow. First of all, I don’t have to get up at 5. If I haven’t got enough sleep in, I can turn over and go back to sleep. But I will get shit done tomorrow. Lots and lots of shit and I am going to a party Friday night.

I have much to do!

So one of my coworkers asked me if I’d checked out already. You know, many when they put in their notice, check out early, meaning they are here in body but not in action or mind.

I would say I’m 50% checked out. Doing anything is hard. I just want to go hang with the residents.

Or get my apartment done.

Or dance in the rain, even though it’s so cold.

I’m telling people that I’m dressed as a storm fairy but really, y’all know what I am: a witch. I found the coolest, cheapest headdress on Amazon. It’s got feathers and skulls and roses, all black.

Oh yeah, witch all the way. Many don’t know this but there are witches among the fey folk too so technically, I could be both.

Ok, I must go.

Holy shit. The snow though. It’s bad. It’s an icy, snowy mush and the roads are horrendous. My 10 minute lunch run ended up taking 45 minutes.

Oh well, what are they gonna do, fire me? Last day is next Friday anyways.

Alright, gotta go.

I’ll be back tomorrow and it’ll be November and the roads will have been cleared.

Happy Samhain all.

Love & Light,

Neecie
