Day 19: Meditation Challenge #DoMagick

I slept from 5 pm last night until this morning and forgot to post my blog from yesterday, so I backdated that post and posted it this morning. I woke up an hour later than usual today. My stomach was still mildly queasy when I woke so I didn’t have breakfast. I made a list of to do’s in my brain. Grocery list for xmas dinner with my parents, empty dishwasher, write, podcast. Then I sat down for 30 minutes and imagined myself doing each of these things. I spent fifteen minutes concentrating o...

Day 18: Meditation Challenge #DoMagick

This morning I did my thirty-minute meditation on getting things done at the office and headed to work. I woke up with this cold/flu I’ve been fighting, lingering. The headache, nausea, and hot and cold flashes got worse as the day wore on. I think it’s official. I have my first winter flu 2017/2018. Woohoo! LOL

Got a surprising amount done at the office today. Thank goodness the universe decided to be kind and not kick my ass with a shitty day like I thought would happen. The flu was a good...

Day 17: Meditation Challenge #DoMagick

How lazy am I? I haven’t even tried to come up with interesting blog post titles for each post this month. LOL  Hey, I’m saving my creativity for writing.

This morning I woke up late so I limited my meditation to the 30-minute mark. I concentrated on getting some domestic stuff done and some writing. My ADHD brain the past week in conjunction with Mercury Retrograde has been making this challenge even more challenging. Can’t wait until we go direct next weekend. Seriously – I’ve got shit to d...

Day 16: Meditation Challenge #DoMagick

We’re at the halfway mark and things have been a bit bumpy. This morning I meditated on getting some writing in and getting podcast things done for 30 minutes today (used the timer on my phone because I woke up late).

Today, my podcast plans went afoul when much to my horror, all three of us weren’t working in the same time zone. This is the danger of podcasting with people from all over the world. Luckily we got that squared away and rescheduled.  I learned my lesson there. Third time’s a ch...

Day 15: Meditation Challenge #DoMagick

Mercury Retrograde needs to go fuck itself. Not only are my work computer and calculator glitchy as fuck this week = a giant pain in the ass, but everyone at my day job is on edge and cranky over the whole building situation. A co-worker fucked up and one of my bosses made ME the messenger to tell her it was coming out of her check, so of course now everyone in that department is pissed at me. The other bosses didn’t agree with first bosses decision – so who gets their ass chewed? Yep. You gu...

Day 14: Meditation Challenge #DoMagick

I started out focused on Daemonolatry today for about thirty-five minutes. I knew a local Daemonolater would be stopping by to pick up her order and we ended up talking Daemonolatry for about three and a half hours. It was a nice afternoon. I love it when I feel like I can connect with someone who follows the same paradigm as I do. It turns out we have some of the same traditional thinking when it comes to magick, so I found that refreshing. She was a delightful guest.

Then I went to work on...

Day 13: Meditation Challenge #DoMagick

This morning’s meditation lasted thirty-two minutes and went rather well because I was really able to focus on getting my work at the office handled, and that translated into real results.  I really needed that after yesterday’s chaos.  If you’ve ever worked in an office where everyone is out and you’re trying to manage 2 extra jobs while trying to do your own job – on a deadline, no less, you know exactly where I was.  I was left juggling A/R, my day-to-day crap, plus a payroll with xmas bon...

Day 12: Meditation Challenge #DoMagick

Today was just too busy a day. I did my 30 minutes of meditation this morning, then went to work, and shit spiraled out of control. Got a lot done, but holy crap was it busy. Worked from 9am to almost 8pm. Then came home and watched a few episodes of Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency (caught up with season one) and now I’m off to bed.

I’ve got nothing more to say about today except thank the gods it’s not like this EVERY day.

Day 11: Meditation Challenge #DoMagick

This morning it was a struggle to do the thirty minutes, probably because I was already running a bit behind, but nonetheless I pulled through and focused on getting my payroll prep done.  Payroll prep is the one day I often dread the most every two weeks.  Usually it’s because it’s a huge pain in the ass to try to figure out what everyone did the previous two weeks. And hunting and searching for everyone’s paperwork.

Anyhow – was able to get most of the payroll prep done today and what I did...

Day 10: Meditation Challenge #DoMagick

So last night I began cleaning up my office a bit. Removing boxes, setting up my heater, straightening my desk. All that good stuff. I feel a lot better and more motivated, but I still have a ways to go. I have two boxes of old software, phones, floppy disks, zip disks, etc… to go through and decide what’s staying and what goes. I have a tote of photos and memorabilia to go through. That will likely end up in the storage room. I have a box that my Harry Potter boxed hardcover book set came in...
