July 27 Started my day with cuddles from my pitbull. Hugs and kisses before I was even fully awake. But love fro Sybil always makes me happy and starts my day out good. Later today we are going out on the pontoon for a relaxing boat ride and some swimming. Going to be a beautiful relaxing day. ---

As usual, I’m late to the party! I have worked 76 hours in the past 7 days. At the moment, the only self care I can handle is sleep! 😴 ---

I have had some guests in town so I have been off posting! I have been enjoying everyones ppst though! Mostly my self care has looked like Sleeping a lot because I have been tired. Being gentle with myself and trying to practice joy. I went to yoga on Thursday and got myself some boba. Friday I got lots of sleep, chanted and went thrifting and took my guests to taxidermy store. Yesterday we walked around downtown, I took a nap and layed down and watched Ghostbusters the 2016 version. Today, I slept in, chanted. And i I am going to meal prep for my week. Amd take some quiet time so i can reset and feel recharged for my week. ---

Damn it’s hard, like really hard to do this Silence and Patience bit of Nordic Witchcraft, but it’s part of self-care. The algorithms are literally ruling my brain. I’m online, now, any tips? I’ve put my phone away, then I get it out. I sit outside, I think about the phone 😳. I’m not supposed to think about tech! Aaah. Everytime I get online (mainly here or YouTube, my tattoo of Loki’s name in rune, literally burns, it’s burning now 🤣). Will keep trying. 🤦💚 ---

Go for a walk or a hike. Tell yourself you are allow to not be connected yo your phone. You are allowed to take space, just be ans breathe. I know it is is hard. I understand. I leave my phone in the other room when i sleep so that i don’t always have ro feel connected ---

My self care for today, July 28, was mostly relaxing. I got my laundry done, herbs dried and kitchen cleaned before noon and spent the rest of the day just relaxing. ---

Today: - I did my daily tarot spread - I studied the scrying course - Spent time communing with Bastet and Gaia and the Mother Goddess - Read my new book about Bast and Bast-Mut that my beloved got for me - Took a relaxing herbal bath - Did some regular journaling and shadow work journaling - Prepared my Etsy and Wal-Mart carts for when I need to replenish my witchcraft supplies to last me for next month (I’ll be able to get everything this Thursday) - Took a nap with my sweetheart while we listened to this song: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/geviOImssdM/maxresdefault.jpg "Tranquil Night ✧ Fall Asleep In Under 3 Minutes ✧ Melatonin Release") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geviOImssdM) ---

Good work everyone 👏 👍 💪 👌 For the 28th I took a 4 mile hike cause it was cool here. I immediately took a nap afterwards and surrendered to the need for rest. I made a bird friend when i was eating my snack when i reached the water tower. Not pictured, they weren’t into the paparazzi. ![20240728_113452](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/3X/8/8/88ace76f61c199efca0ecc159614e534b1b6bf7f.jpeg) !20240728\_122545|500x500](upload://Mk25Ri6asXGswfyD7FQfMQmkII.j[20240728\_113458|500(upload://mcQ5nV ![20240728_113458](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/3X/9/b/9ba365ee0245ac9593e98114722b278efe7bf87d.jpeg) ---

I went with what makes me happy. I wanted to meditate but I never actually got to it. Though, I realized with the little things I DID do that made feel joy, was part of my self care practice. Went on a movie date 🎥💕👫🏻 with my husband. I went to my first planned farmer’s market 🌻 and bought some fun things like handmade soaps and honey 🍯, which I enjoy supporting small businesses that handcraft their items, redid my nails in an orange color with flowers juat in time for Lughnasagh. Then, finally was able to make an appointment​:woman\_health\_worker:t2: for a much needed check up. Results come in, in a few days. Sounds silly to be happy about being able to plan doctor appointments but when it comes to my health, it is important and I’m so grateful that I’m able to do so because of my job which I almost gave up on. So, there’s so much I’m grateful for and being able to take care of myself is a big self care accomplishment for me.🏅🙏🏼 ---

July 29th - Meditated 5 minutes this morning - Picked up a Candyland game from someone on FB marketplace for a witchy/crafty idea - Walked 4 dogs at the shelter and spent 30 minutes visiting a few kitties - Got a 30 minute nap - Stretched for 20 minutes - Did not let myself spiral into anxiety today from a conflict last night ---

> [@Artemisia](#): > > Did not let myself spiral into anxiety today from a conflict last night Ooh! That was a big one! Congrats! I’m just getting up. Albus isn’t ready for cage cleaning, yet. Planning on housework and refilling soaps and lotions for the new month, once quiet hours are over. I’m actually awake, this morning! … Never can tell when the bird is going to get active. So cages are clean for the day. Quiet hours are up. I’m off to do what I couldn’t get done over a sleepy weekend in hopes of having a clean place for company this week. Y’all have a great Tuesday! ---
