Good morning. I am having a rough start to the week. My daughter & I woke up late so she missed the bus & I had to bring her to school before I had my coffee. :sleeping: I was 3 hours late taking my medication so Iā€™m kind of blah & my hips & back donā€™t want to get out of bed yet. I did manage to get my candles on my altar for the day though & I moved my Rose of Jericho into indirect sunlight.

My son has his driverā€™s test today & I know he is really nervous about going through that, Iā€™m hoping that he gets it today. Heā€™s been overthinking it for a few days now. He knows all the things he needs to, he just thinks itā€™s harder than it is. I guess we all go through that when itā€™s the driverā€™s test because you donā€™t know until you go through it.

I missed one of my OT appointments today but I just couldnā€™t get myself to go after oversleeping & not taking my medicine. I donā€™t do well with a rushed morning. Any other part of the day can be rushed, but my mornings are just about sacred. :rofl:

Iā€™m going to do a meditation before we go to the RMV for the road test. I need to be calm as well or he will know that I am nervous for him & get discombobulated himself. I hope everyone has a great week! I will pop back in a little later & see how everyone is doing.

Merry Meet Monday! @Susurrus I hope your day slows down a bit for you, I donā€™t do well with rushed mornings, eitherā€¦or afternoons and evenings. :laughing:
Thank you @BryWisteria for the shout-out :grin:
Today for me is just an average day, no plans just the usual things chores and cooking. I have to work on my drawing for our Infinite Roots and I downloaded a new book last night on audible I think Iā€™ll give that a try, although Iā€™m not sure if Iā€™m going to like ā€œlisteningā€ to a bookā€¦:nerd_face:
Blessed Be Witches

@Rowan Iā€™m so sorry! Congratulations on the shout-out for the most love! :partying_face: :heart: & Congratulations to @basil for the most posts! Great job to both of you!

Iā€™m currently getting ready to leave with my son for his driverā€™s test. Once I got through my 2nd cup of coffee things seemed a little less rushed & I put the Rose of Jericho on my kitchen counter by the window so it gets some indirect sunlight. I know it likes the shade, but it needs some sun to turn green & really thrive.

Sending energy your way! :zap: And good luck to your son ā€“ Iā€™m cheering him on! :four_leaf_clover: I 100% understand the overthinking it ā€“ the one question I missed on the written portion was because I overthought it and put what I thought the answer SHOULD be, not what the law actually says >.< haha

On the bright side, I missed it for a super stupid reason. The question was about who in the car needed to be wearing their seatbelt when the driver was a certain age (thanks, graduated driverā€™s license system for making things more complicated!), and I said that EVERYONE should be strapped in (the actual word on the test, which was also misleading!), but the answer was that only the front seat passengers were required (again, the word should, not required was used on the test) to be strapped in :roll_eyes: Such a stupid question to mark people wrong for. lol

I am FIRED FULL of moon energy! Now to try and capitalize on that instead of sliding back into a slumpā€¦trying to be a bit more focused lately (trying is the operative word) as I tend to want to learn about everything all at once and then feel I never know anything.
This week Iā€™ve got a lot of yoga any intention is to find other things during the day that are also serving my greater good.
Blessed be my coven

My son got his license on his first try! The examiner said he had never had someone so nervous before, but he did great! Iā€™m elated right now. Thank you @Jewitch & @AliceInWonderdab & everyone wishing him well.

Now I need to find something to do for gratitude. I did a meditation in the car while I was waiting for him. I have all of this good energy now after a rocky start this morning.

Turned my day right around @Tamera, I am so happy for him. I am going to do a gratitude spell. Today has been great. I did a meditation in the car while he was taking his test & when I finished, he was finished also!

Yay! Congrats to @Basil and @Rowan! Good job on keeping this place going!

@Susurrus I hope your son does well today! Iā€™ll be thinking of him. Hope you feel better too. Once your morning is messed up the whole day just gets awful. Good luck! OOh, I see he passed! Thatā€™s great! Congratulations!

Hey Iā€™d lived for about twenty-five years in WV before I learned some of the slang. Still not too sure about some of it. You learn something new each day!

In Spain there was once this man who run the Royal Academy of Spanish Language.
He said that ā€œTACOSā€ or swearing is what makes languages to evolve.
In a worl of ā€œStiff upper Lipsā€, we are missing the richness of the low words that give form to our vocabulary.
Yet, thereā€™s a time and a place for those.
Play with them, use them as often as you like. Just be aware of who you are talking too.:wink:

Heh. I donā€™t do good with talking much. Half the time I donā€™t know what to say. I guess I save my talking for the written word.

@Amethyst
Donā€™t say anything then.
We should all practice listening more often.:smiley:
And not just people!
You are wise & oldšŸ™

Congrats to your son on his successful road test, @Susurrus! Super exciting! :partying_face:

You are very welcome, @Rowan- thank YOU for being so awesome! :heart:

Ohhh I know the feeling @Jewitch- some of the questions on the test are awful! Like they are designed to make people fail :woman_shrugging: I think itā€™s really impressive that there was only one question that gave you a tough time- the written tests are very tricky, so you must be very smart! :clap: :blush:

That is awesome @AliceInWonderdab - enjoy that full moon energy :full_moon_with_face: I hope you have a great time with yoga and your magickal practice this week. Blessed be! :sparkles:


Hope everyoneā€™s week is off to a great start! :raised_hands:
