Waning Moon

Pluto Retrograde

Cloudy, humid, warm

You can read about the latest on the garden and the CSA boxes over on Gratitude and Growth.

Seriously, all I wanted to do yesterday was go back to bed and sleep all day. My body remembers the stress and pain of the move, still, and wants to rest. I’m lucky not to have a stressful schedule this week, so I can be kinder to myself than if I had a ton of client work piled on top of me.

I adapted more episodes of DD into another chapter of “A Stylish Death.”

I did the prep for this afternoon’s coaching session.

A cohort friend let me know about an anthology call to raise funds for reproductive rights that interests me. I roughed out in my head that story, and two other shorts pieces. I didn’t do any drafting, but I wrote in my head, which means I can start putting a few things on paper today.

I did a grocery run and a library run. I had one small client project to turn around. Got annoyed by someone who showed a distinct lack of respect for how I make a living, and that individual should know better.

I felt exhausted and a little lightheaded for much of the day. I took frequent breaks to rest. It wasn’t all that hot, and I didn’t feel like driving, so I stayed put.

Worked on details for my trip to NY in a couple of weeks.

Headed out for tarot, with the usual stop at Wild Oats. Tarot was good, as usual. I’m looking forward to tonight’s ritual.

Home, cooked dinner, rested. Slept reasonably well, although it was a case of being very busy in the Dream Life, and feeling like I’d put in a full day before I woke up.

This morning is the last online meditation session with the group from the Concord Public Library until autumn. I will have to be disciplined about my own practice in the interim.

On today’s agenda: Meditation, working on whichever of the short stories screams loudest, some adaptation. At 1, I have a ZOOM meeting about my work. This evening, I have the midsummer ritual up at the Clark.

Hopefully, some more client work will come in for the weekend and then next week, although, with the holiday toward the end of the week, who knows? I’m sending out some LOIs over the next few weeks with an eye to a stretch of work from November into late February/early March.

One day at a time, right?

Have a good one.
