Feast of Mothers

"Awaited Child" - by Annelie Solis
Trying to get my blogging in before my brother wakes up...

I'm once again frustrated because of the dream recall thing. Only this time I'm aware that part of it was Merlin related and part of it involved my godfather. But all other details were lost because I've been tired. Maybe this is a because of all those restless nights I've been having - that I'm finally having a chance to sleep. Maybe this is a time when I don't have to remember my dreams, or maybe they'll return when I'm not as tired. I don't know. I'll just go with the flow, I guess. 

Today's draw is for Feast of Mothers, which represents connecting to one's ancestors and determining the wisdom and guidance they have to offer. I drew Three of Air - Scrying. This is all about seeing from another perspective, reflections, exploring the options that are available to you, and being observant of imagery in all forms. I find this interesting; I will have to ponder this one to determine what I should be looking at here... In fact, this seems to align with a recent dream I had that informed me I was taking the wrong path. I wonder if this is school-related...

It seems like we're going to have a rainy next few days - including today. I don't mind this so much because I enjoy the atmosphere of rainy days. Makes it all cozy inside. On Christmas Eve, it's traditional for us to open whatever gifts/stockings we have and eat snack-like things such as chips and dip, sushi platter (which we have to retrieve at noon), and sweets. I sure am psyched for that sushi platter, though. I'm going to have to hold back on my mindful eating to get the most out of it. Haha.

Speaking of gifts, I finally posted my Secret Santa gift to dA yesterday and was relieved to discover that my recipient fully enjoyed it. I always get nervous when it comes to other people's characters... but yeah. Now I'm just waiting for my SS gift. Not sure when to expect it, because the host told us we can submit anywhere from the 21st to the 28th. So for all I know, I might not see it until later this week. But that's okay. 

Whoa. I'm beginning to remember bits of my dream. I have a stray cat outside to thank for that. 

And speaking of cats... I was able to sit a step away from Leon-cat yesterday as he ate. He was skittish as hell but was still determined to finish most of his food while sitting there. I just want him to know that we have no intention of hurting him. I'm not sure how long that'll take.

But also, mom and I were talking about getting a kitten. On the surface, it seems like a good idea. A lot better than dogs, anyway (we tried a dog for a few weeks but it didn't work out for us). And as much as I would love to have an animal companion (a nice, neat, quiet one), I keep thinking of all the things that I don't want to deal with, such as poop/vomit on the floors, a messy bathroom (since the litterbox would probably be in mine), illnesses, biting/scratching, and so forth. And if the parents do leave overseas - or both of them, anyway - then all that crap would be dumped on me while I'm busy at school and maintaining the home.

I don't know. It's a tough decision. 

Next on the list: I'm very happy to have been able to write 3000 words toward Winterspell yesterday. That only happened because my brother left at 5 PM to go to a party of sorts with old friends he hasn't seen in a while, and didn't return until after 11 PM, when I went to bed. I don't know whether I'll be that productive today since we've got some things going on. Maybe I should hurry up and finish my morning internet routine so I can do that...

Ugh. I'm so fidgety for the finale of Merlin tonight. And it didn't help that I was reading the comments of others, who were sharing their hopes and fears for the magic reveal, such as: "Arthur knew all along!" or "Merlin's really telling Gwen, after Arthur has died in battle." I reaaaaally hope that "Dragoon the Great" doesn't take over the majority of the episode. I want to see young Merlin, man. That's the whole POINT. 

Please don't disappoint us, BBC.
