Interesting! I did gather up some of the bark that was sheared off - ooh magic.
Iām just hoping the lightning didnāt weaken the tree internally and make it more susceptible to falling in the next storm, because it is a mega pine tree!

Thanks everyone!
@Amethyst our schedule is 4 days on and 4 days off, but I volunteered to work my friends shift while she goes on vacation. I need the overtime now that I have 8 grandkids to buy for in December.

Thanks, love!
Glad that lightning didnāt do any damage to your house or something! That was a close strike!
Oh wow! Youāre nice for doing so, even if you are getting overtime!

Congratulations 
@Ostara & @Mystique! 
Also wonderful 2 week streak! 
Congratulations for receiving the W.I.T.C.H. Award for August! Thank you for all that you do! 
@Ostara you do so deserve the award! Memes are posts & a smile all rolled into one.
@Amethyst, I hope you get to pick out new frames soon. My doctor takes my insurance, Wal-Mart does not, my doctors frames section wouldnāt do them because I canāt remember why. The insurance I have also has a linked site to choose frames. Then you can go to any Walmart to have them adjusted if I need toā¦ The Wal-Mart in my town is ridiculous, so who knows when they are openā¦ But itās never when Iām in there
@Pigeon, ooo so much luck with your New Moon 
plans. I am not sure what I am doing with anything really right now 
But I know that I want to do āsomethingā for this New Moon in Virgo 
Iām steadily cleaning out my space, it looks a lot better but still needs a lot done, well, to me it does.
We had storms for about 2 days and now itās in the 50ās. Went right from 70ās to 50ās overnight it feels like.
Today is really weird for me. Iām at the house aloneā¦ My daughter started school, and my husband & son both went back to work after a week & few days of vacation with a long weekend. Itās hard to wrap my head around Tuesday, not Monday. 
Now, I have to update my list of catch-up challengesā¦ I had all my days mixed up with so many of us at home that I couldnāt keep track.
I have to go to my doctorās office to review the X-rays I had done before the long weekend. Then I think Iāll go to the Physical Therapy place. Iām not sure about the second one, but I suppose I will find out once I go to the doctorās office. I also will start OT Hand therapy on my left hand this Friday, which I had surgery on a couple of weeks ago. So that should be fun, too.
I should be in and around more throughout the day; I havenāt tried shuffling cards yet because I have a feeling that one of my incisions reopened once the stitches were taken out. So, Iām trying not to use that hand if possible.
I hope everyone is having an excellent start to the week!

Congratulations to all you Lovely witches. You make the forum a more loving inviting and fun forum. Thank for your hard work!
My goal is to get a morning routine down, keep practicing reiki since I started practicing from my online class I never finished. Continuing to work on self care. Inviting new clients in for individual counseling and also for my trauma group that is starting on the 25th.
Oh and I start a new class on Somatic therapy this week!!!

Thanks for the congrats, @Susurrus!
Itās weird how one Walmart will do it and the other wonāt. Walmart themselves are just weird. LOL!
Good luck with that! I hope that your hand takes to the OT well!
Thanks, @celineelise! Good luck with your new class!

Merry meet, long time no seeā¦ 
I had an enjoyable summer in Germany, got to know some fun new people too 
An unforgettable time, even if I wasnāt able to start working and stay like I had planned. Lilith and Kali had so many exciting things for me during those three months 
Maybe Iāll be able to distill some of it into a thread or two here, too, weāll see.
As lovely as it was, I still feel like I went through a washing machine with extra tumble dry Gentle autumn nights in candlelight, with a cup of tea feels like just the thing
