Pandora's Casket

This is crazy weather. Right now if you looked outside one would think by the look and feel it is winter.

I am cold. I have to admit that. Last night I actually put another light weight blanket on my bed and guess what? I was still cold all night. This morning is no better.

Water mess all over the place. I guess it could have been worse. At least he tried to make the coffee. Glad though he failed otherwise it would have been tea.

Need to work on sites today. If I do that today then I won't have to worry about them during the week. Sounds like a winner to me.

Woke up early this morning. Going downstairs I notice that Daria and her babes are on this bag. I look at it and it is the pie bag. Well, there are things on the counter but the cabinet doors are shut tightly. There was Jamie's dried milk bag which is open, sitting there on the counter so if Morph jumped in there it would have been split all over the place. Weird

Another hot one. Supposed to be 92 and tomorrow it is lowering to 85. I can live with that.

Should go back to bed I am still tired. Oh well. Think I will get dressed and move more things into that room while it is still cool. Or maybe not

Oh, e-harmony sent me some matches. I guess I am not that big of a looser. haha BUT three of them were bible thumper's. If you choose not to have bible thumper's, why do they send them to you? I mean one guy that is the only book he reads. Limited mind and intelligence to me.

Hot. Hot and hot Although today it is supposed to cool down to a freezing 88 so we are on a cooling trend. haha

Yesterday had a surprising call. A friend of mine that I have been trying to locate for months that I actually thought died of colon cancer. Wow, was it ever nice to hear from him. He is still whiny as hell but rather have that than him being dead.

Today I want to get all my shipping out and finished. Only have a few orders and I already started. Need to do a weekend sale in my store not to mention some student corrections. So looks like a full working day until I get to hot or tired. Which ever comes first

Yesterday was just a nasty day. Hot and humid. It was so hot that it was uncomfortable. If you blinked you broke out in a sweat. No kidding. Then it rained. Slight relief came with that. A nice wind. Ohh so nice. Then BLAM gone.

I went ot bed early for me. Got tired of working at doing nothing. haha

Michael called yesterday. Wow. It is funny how terrible a person is when there is a break up. I am the demonic being from hell. Why? Because I don't stand up for him 100% of the time. I thought he was a big boy and could do that alone. There were some pretty nasty things he said. At least now I know fully that I was the dark angel and he the white. Cool with me. Oh some of it really hurt my feelings. Kinda cried but at the end of the conversation I just said I hoped he would find happiness in his future. Not a lot more I wanted to say. I made my peace telling him where I was coming from on this. Closure.

I guess we are going to be friends. Who knows. He said he would call in a few days as he has to digest all this. Digest what? That you are a dick anus? Oh well....

Today going to work on the bay of e. haha Have a ton of crap to put in the store front so going to get my ass in gear and do that. Nice lot of craft items.

I should go to the school and re-register the boys but I would prefer that they go with me. Of course they are not here they are with the fat ass he bitch. Tomorrow is Trevors day. Have to go to Hartford for that. While there going shopping. WooHoo Hartford and KFC

As the saying goes "All good things come to an end". It is very true.

The other day I decided to end the intimate relationship with Michael. I could no longer see being in a relationship that is going nowhere at all. After being in Indiana for two years, waiting for him to move here, I woke up and saw something that was disturbing.

I saw that I sure didn't want this man a part of my daily life as he is to high maintenance. He has not wanted to share my life but only wanted to be the center of attention in it. I just do not have the energy. Not to mention patience. With his latest paranoid, delusional sickness (yep he looked it up and had all the symptoms and was happy he was mentally ill) I really did not think that I could deal with it every day. I mean how many times can you be told that you are out to get him? Being disloyal? Evil?

I wrote him and plainly explained that the intimate relationship is over, friendship would be preferred as we are and have been friends for years. I mean what am I loosing? A nightly phone call? Oh my such a shame that is. I am tired of his tantrums and acting like he is more of a woman than I am. Are there really any real men out there my age or have they all died? haha

I am sad but not enough to cry or carry on as such has been in the past. Since it was a logical decision, one in which I believe is the right one, how can there be crying?

His response was such that the blame was all me. Yet again. He has been a terrific guy. Yea, right. Blah, blah and blah.

He couldn't say these things to my face (or on the phone) only in an email. God, how cowardly is that? I tried to call him the other night and end it but like a child he wouldn't answer his phone. Damn grow up!

I actually feel pretty good. Like this heavy burden has been lifted off my shoulders. Rather nice for a change.

If we can't be friends then so be it. Friends are lost and friends are found.

Summer is coming to an end. School will be starting in a few weeks. The weather is heating up.
All this on August 1st.

Even though it is warming up, August seemingly being the hotter of the summer months, today is Lughnasadh, the Celtic feast to honor the memory of the funeral games of the Irish Sun God Lugh.

The festival of Lammas (August 1) marks the end of summer and the beginning of fall. The days will now grow shorter.

August 1st is a cross-quarter day, one of the four High Holidays or Greater Sabbats of Witchcraft, occurring one quarter of a year after Beltane. Historically August 1 as the day Lughnasadh or Lammas is generally celebrated.

The celebration would begin on sundown of the previous evening, our July 31. The Celtic people acknowledged their days from sun up to sundown.

Where does Lammas come from and what does it mean?

Here is where we will give the Medieval Christians some credit. Lammas was the name for the holiday they celebrated. The meaning of Lammas; Loaf mass due to the fact this was the day many loaves of bread were baked from the first grains of harvest. After baking placing the loaves on the church's altars as a gift or offering. The day is typically thought of as "fresh fruits" and the early harvest.


Many will follow the path of the British Witches and celebrate Lammas on August 6th which is known from the astrological view point as a power point day.

Have a peaceful Lughnasadh
