(personal) Sunday, Sunday

You'll notice there is no "to-do" today. My nutritionist (who functions as my part-time therapist, I swear) wants to see if I can function without a to-do list for a bit. Why? Because I beat myself up, a LOT, if I don't a) put every single thing that I think I need to do on the list and b) don't cross everything off by the end of the day. This causes stress and anxiety, which leads me to stress-eat. Which is bad.

So no to-do list today. I want to clean. My house is a mess, because I'm busy during the week and so is hubby and I haven't gotten the hang of getting the house to where I can do just a little bit a day and it looks awesome all the time. I'm not stressing over it - I'm a slob, and my friends all know that. We can't all be cleaning queens.

But I do want to clean. My kitchen, first. Then I'll move into the dining room while stuff bakes/cooks. If I get to the dining room, that would be awesome, but if I don't, I'm not going to stress.

Really.

I want to bake today too. I'm craving, not just the taste of something sweet, but the actual act of baking. Getting my fingers in dough. Maybe I'll make some rolls, or cinnamon buns. Mmm, that might be good.

We'll see.

I should go to the grocery store, and I might write, later tonight. I should write, honestly, but this story is proving harder than I'd realized. I will write, later, but for now, I'm going to clean. And listen to Food Network. And bake.

And laundry. Don't think boss would appreciate me going in naked on Monday.

So have a good day, folks!

(pagan/religion) A Notice for all my readers...

I'm going to be doing some writings on my own personal faith, which is that of a solitary pagan. I will be making those friends-locked, and if you would like to read those entries, just reply in comments on this post. I will screen those comments, and you'll be added to the list.

I have a very individual belief system, and I have, in the best solitary tradition, stolen cheerfully from practices that resonate with me. Add into that mix that I was raised in a Jewish-Christian household with a heavy bent towards fantasy, historical and mystery readers in it, and, well, my practices and beliefs are not for everyone. :) I won't teach in these posts, but I will be doing some rather deep introspection, and I will post some of my things from my own Book of Shadows.

The spring is coming, and I think that's why I'm starting to think magical thoughts. Also, there are changes coming, and I need to deal with them.

(personal) My hubby loves me.

For reference, there are ten roses here. One for every year we've been married.
