Thank yā€™all so much! Iā€™m glad yā€™all donā€™t mind my babbling! And thanks for the special title! It means a lot to me! And congratulations to @praecog29 for giving the most love! :purple_heart:

Happy Monday to everyone! I hope yā€™all had a good weekend. I got some writing done and other little things so Iā€™m calling it a good weekend! I hope to have a good week this week. They should be finishing sheetrocking in my apartment where they put in new plumbing and Iā€™m hoping to get my stuff back where it belongs. I had to clear the countertops and stuff and when they sand their repairs there is going to be dust and gunk everywhere. Not looking forward to that. But once itā€™s done, itā€™ll be done and hopefully wonā€™t have to happen again for a while.

Other than that, I havenā€™t got much going on this week. No doctor appointments, Sally is getting my groceries for me. Itā€™s gonna be a good week! Hope yā€™all have one too! :hugs:

Congratulations to @Amethyst & to @praecog29! Great job! Iā€™m so happy for you both.

I had a very up and down week last week, so Iā€™m hoping for better after the weekend. Iā€™m going to get on the weekly challenge, Iā€™m hoping today. I just have to watch my daughter. She has a head cold & a little cough. Whatever is going through my house isnā€™t bad, but I still donā€™t want it. My sons have it too. Iā€™m hoping it stays with the kids.

I have only been having issues with my back lately & I know our weather has something to do with the severity. Itā€™s really bad in the morning & then late afternoon.

I hope everyone has a great week!

Thank you, @Amethyst and @Susurrus. :hugs: You guys are the real hearts of the forum and I am so thankful for you.

I am happy the sheetrock is going up finally, Kasie. The cat will be happy, too, right?

I am so sorry the kids have colds, Krissie. Mine always seem to get them first and give them to me. :sweat_smile: I hope you donā€™t get it.

A special shoutout to @Aedreysa for starting We need a Coven Name!. Thank you!

Will some of the more talented :star_struck: members of the coven share fairy tales on Friday?

I have been keeping ā€œEnergy Exchange Circle - February 13thā€ up to date and the Energy Exchange Circle 2021 Wiki. (Sorry for the long names. :joy:) Thankful :pray:t3: for Brianna reminding us about them. I really encourage everyone to check them out from time to time, even if they donā€™t have something for themselves.

I hope everyone has a better week than the last. Blessings to all of you.

Thank you @praecog29 & you do a wonderful job with the Energy Exchange Circle Thank you so much for that, I know I am on there a lot. I appreciate all the love though. :hugs:

Iā€™m hoping for a week of getting something done. The weather last week made it hard for me to do some of the things that I normally do. Plus it was a vacation week, so I had my Peanut home too. :sun_with_face:

Things seem to be moving in a more positive direction for me this week. Although my anxiety is still reeling from the weekend. I have been sleeping better the last couple of nights though. :smiley:

I also appreciate the readings from @MeganB in the Freebie Friday topics. It really helped me get through Saturday because I knew it was time & I was ready to handle it. I just wish someone told my panic that we were ready. :rofl:

In times of course where we canā€™t decide if AI is for better or worse, groups and websites like this pardon my datum practice. :flushed::sweat_smile::woman_mage::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Iā€™ll have to see what I can find for Fairytale Friday :rabbit: Maybe Iā€™ll just share some mythology and stories instead, because Iā€™m finding some fascinating info about Brighid that isnā€™t commonly known!

4 Likes

Oh, I love Brigid! If you find anything that you can share that would be lovely. I have a lot about her in my BOS. Iā€™m always looking for more information on her. I would greatly appreciate it @MeganB!

Congrats on your writing and the end of the work on your apartment, @Amethyst- it will be so nice to be finished with it! I hope you enjoy a very relaxing week (and no appointments- yay!) and have some good weather too. Blessings to you! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:


I hope this week is better for you, @Susurrus- may your daughter and sons have speedy recoveries, itā€™s no fun to be sick! May the weather improve there soon. Hopefully warmer days will be easier on your back. Be well, Krissie! :heart:


You are a hero for running the Energy Exchange Circle, @praecog29- your hard work is very much appreciated! :pray: And ohhh such a fun idea, I would also love to see any fairy tales anyone has to share! Always love a good story :european_castle: :blush:


That would be a delight, @MeganB! You have so much wisdom and I always love reading your posts- I hope youā€™re able to discover something new about the lovely Brighid! :grin::two_hearts:


I hope everyoneā€™s week is off to a wonderful start! Blessed be to all :sparkles:

@BryWisteria thank you so much. Iā€™m doing okay & the kids seem to be doing better already! The regular medicine from the pharmacy seems to be doing the trick so far. They donā€™t sound all stuffy anymore either.

The weather right now is below freezing and the top of the porch has a sheet of ice on it that you donā€™t notice until your feet hit it. So Iā€™ll be staying in as much as possible.

I have to do the snow moon spell!!!

Happy to hear that the medicine helped, @Susurrus! Wishing all of your kids a speedy recovery back to full health :pray: Stay healthy and safe! :two_hearts:

Awesome- enjoy the spell and have a very blessed Full Moon, @Christina4! :full_moon: :sparkles:

Yes it did! My daughter went back to school yesterday, but today is her weekly remote day. My kids are convinced that I have it because I sneezed yesterday. I think they are hoping I have it from the sounds of it.

Well, Iā€™ve got my fingers crossed that you avoid the icky sickness- stay healthy and well, Krissie! :blush:

Thank you, it seems to have missed me. The kids are all okay & so am I! No one is stuffy or sneezing anymore, so thatā€™s good for us! I hope every one else stays healthy also!
