The New Year that is celebrated today and tomorrow doesn't resonate with me as anything but an arbitrary place on the calendar wheel.  If anything it is the live music holiday and anniversary of some wonderful experiences.  I remember staying up until midnight and watching the numbers change on the time and temp channel with Grandma and I would do that again in a heartbeat.  Here's hoping that the drunks on the road only kill themselves.

This is what happens when underage wizards attempt magic without the proper training! They start spouting unforgivable curses willy nilly and jeapordizing their visit from Santa!

My new sourdough starter has yielded it's first loafs, I opted to keep my old starter going as well since I put a little sugar in it and use it for the waffles.  This fancy one will be for breads...  what, I can't have 2 starters going?

My current knitting project is mostly frogged, but the last little tail is sitting there staring at me.  I made an impulse pattern purchase and am quite remorseful about it.  Now I must decide what to do with my leftover yarn?  Shall I make 2 little dude sweaters for my 2 little dudes?  Or would they rather have another Weasley sweater?  Or perhaps I should try my hand at something fisherman-y since the yarn is so bulky?  decisions decisions...

For xmas, I got a new sourdough starter.  I have almost always as long as I remember had one going but this one is ancient!  Mine always seem to get thrown out by overzealous fridge cleaners who think that anything that smells like that must be rotted yuck, but no!  I am about to go bake a loaf with it so we shall see just how delicious it is.  I am also getting a bit over the rye loaf, they are delicious and wonderful but I need a little variety in my life.  rye rye rye all the time make for a dull Gurley.

If I tilt my head a little to the side, will an idea come out?  I think all of my thoughts are being deflected by the massive amount of junk that surrounds.  Mama is going to have to get cranky for this stuff to get put away, I think, that or no wii until we can see the floor.  That should work...

With any project or endeavor there is the part where you have to wait.  Maybe you have to wait for a good idea to strike, or maybe your house is full of xmas junk and you are waiting for a few days to go by before you really start throwing stuff away.  Or maybe they are still sleeping and you are waiting for them to wake up and direct the action.

Still knitting like the wind, the Dabber's stocking is almost finished and then I will start on Ella's.  She is OK with it not being quite finished this year, she is mostly worried about only getting sticks and coal so she doesn't want to make a fuss.  I hope to have several inches done at least.

This 6 of Cups reversal is on day 3 of it's repeat cycle so I am obviously not getting it yet.  Am I just supposed to be remembering that these years are the ones that will be looked back on either fondly or in a need for therapeutic reform?  Or maybe I need to worry less about the past and the future and just be here now?  But isn't that, hasn't that been the whole point all along?  I mean, I think I get that, and I don't think I am getting this card so it must be something else than that.  Meanwhile it is the solstice, finally.  Time to tip the wheel over the top and head back up the other side.  The Daisy's are heading to the British Home for caroling and crafting and snacking, meanwhile Abbey's Brownies are having their holiday celebration at school, meanwhile I am hoping that the hordes descend on my abode for jams and pizza, or is it pizza and jams?

Pardon me while I get back up and brush myself off.  I would usually be having a very 3 of Cups sort of morning and obviously it is still shaping up to be a 3 of cups sort of day.  week?  month?  These reversed cups up at the top of the number line are also a bit cliche for me this time of year.  Of course I am obsessed with the family and it's inner workings and fortitude.

I've never been much of a home maker, but in evaluating my skills in the kitchen there is one area in particular that needs work.  I need to become proficient enough with the knife so as to cease being a danger to myself.  I think perhaps my ennui with my creative side might be due to this obvious inequity in skill.  It is time to unbuild that wall and make something delicious for dinner.

Hello Page of Pentacles.  You are back again, 3rd time this week.  Is it that I am not studying currently or is it important to notice why I am not studying currently?  I am taking a breather in hopes of accumulating the oomph to  really make some breakthroughs rather than just holding steady at the status quo.  Gotta shake things up a little on the inside and on the outside.  Once things start to settle in again I shall expect less of a group thing and more of a leader thing.

I noticed the Empress energy coming on this morning.  Sometimes this energy is irritating and other times it is very welcome.  Today it is like jelly.  I have noticed another trend in the cards lately of warning me against deceit and treachery.  I have to wonder if these are just my issues that I project everywhere for fear of manifesting them?  Or do I indeed need to watch out for real?  I can't imagine a place in my life right now where I could be so cosmically deceived and I just don't know.

Ahhhh, sometimes the obvious is just so hard to perceive.  This time of year does a number on me and a whole lot of it is just my own concoction.  I was unprepared for this area's seasonal differences when I first arrived here, and proceeded to over react as a result of the shock for quite some many years afterwards.  Recently, I have learned to enjoy this time of forced indoorsness, there is a lot of inner work that can be done.    And adventuring out is OK, too, you just have to gear up for it.

Sometimes the 5 of Wands reminds me of band practice, which reminds me that we are playing on Friday!  Hooray.  2 of Wands is fairly apt, although I'm not scrying the ball but rather knitting the yarn, and the 3 of Cups reversed might just be my new attitude for awhile...

The horoscope and the cards are lining up behind the idea of a mental vacation from the usual.  Sounds fine by me, I am feeling ambivalent to bored with all of my current projects and really am just in a holding pattern until my new yarn gets here and I can dive headfirst into knitting.  Although I do have some books that are looking at me...

I do love that 8 of Pentacles when she shows up, she is my crafty card that gives me the green light to let my mind wander into the minutiae.  The 6 of Swords is troublesome, I am still identifying with the mother and not the rower, although I have also come to accept that the sad lady is just a part of me and she needs to have her day in the sun as much as any of the other parts.  The 10 of Swords is sort of a nightmare, sort of my biggest one, really.  The thought of that many folks all ganging up and piling on is scary.  Mass Hysteria.
