Today Is Saturday October 31 2020, This Is What Happen

 

Usual this time of year Murphy and I are taking part in a Samhain celebration. Since Covid hit my life is go to work and get the necessaries of life. Once week I will go up in loft of Under the Sun and have coffee.

Confession time...Being Covid grounded is getting to me today. I try to keep my self occupied and busy. I just actual feel like stuffing my face with sweets.

Idaho is a Trump state, very red. The conservative knows it theirs for the taking. And the democrats pretty much ignores or just flat give it to the Republicans.

We only have four electoral collage votes.

Got my pumpkin made into a jack a lantern. We used a glow stick instead of candle. And the eyes isn't what I want, will fix.

The Samhain altar.

Set up my bullet journal for month of November. Mine is pretty boring, but it keeps me sort of on track.

There is a full moon.

I did briefly remember my ancestors who gone, and set a small plate for them.

Working on my attitude.

Today Is Friday October 20 2020, This Is What Happen

 

Two things off the starting gate. Been busy blogging about Samhain. Not sure if all of you are tired of it or not. But I feel it time to move on.

It been ages since I did or even had a chance to share my creative piece. There is some short coming of being employed. I did finish up collage and is taking part in PAINT PARTY FRIDAY and there life in general.

It taking me a while to complete the sketch book project for Brooklyn Art Library. Sort of made the half way point.

This collage is based on the later part of baby boomers, from 1958 til 1972. It also known as “Keeping up with the Jones” me personal I would call it “Not seeing the entire picture” I think this LINK or if every thing looks orderly and it place everything must be fine. But not always. I wonder about people who really have spotless homes.

Last few days we here in North Idaho has had some pretty sunrise and sunset. Some place in the blog post I will first put in a sunrise and then a sunset.

I got my hair cut and we all had mask on. Cost me $20 and my cousin cut my hair. Found out her daughter went though covid, and she R.N on surgical unit. But her husband didn't get it. So I found out seven of my cousin got covid. And when the ideal of wearing a mask came my Aunt bitched about it. Confession time....I even once looked up her personal zodiac chart vs my dad.

Since three of her Granddaughters came down with covid and now she all for the mask. Then the other four I would bet anyone a chocolate candy bar, their for Trump.

Plus I found out one of my friend fell and broke her hip and went though covid. She is rehab center in Cour d'Alene.

Took my client over to get her blood taken, for some labs. Doctor forgot to sign the order and it will need to be send back. So that would take a bit of time. We decided to try it beginning of week.

So we went to Thrift store and the store clerk and the two of us had mask on. Rest of the people had no mask on. I bought a thirteen dollars and some odd cent worth the stuff. Confession time....I did get a little bit of fabric. But I did get a new lunch bag and will toss out my old one. And T shirt, which I will wash and wear for Halloween

But earlier today I was store, get a few items for my client. Still people in store with out a mask. I was walking by some clerk putting items on the shelf, and non mask wearer said to clerk I won't wearer one of those mask until it mandated.

Sometime I wonder what type of rock they crawl out under.

Thought it would be easy for me to figure the case load of covid here. Actual looked up our county population is 11, 984 as of 2018. From Thursday to today, Friday. 17 cases of covid. Smallest day number this week increase was 5

Ran out of fabric strips for the crochet rag rug I was working on. Anyhow I use sheets. Actual when I was in thrift store that was first place I looked to see what the possibility were. Didn't see anything in sheets that I thought would go good with the current colors.

Lucky I did have something that would work in my stash. Now the next three steps to get the sheet cut is. Laundered it, cut it into 2 inch strips, and roll it in a ball.

It sure is dusty out side for some reason.

Stay Safe and Coffee Is ON

Today Is Thursday October 29 2020, This Is What Happen.

 

Don't think so, but I know I will be wrapping up my samhian altar lay out. Samhain is what pagan consider there end year and or start of the new witchy new year. But personally I would call Ostara, spring first of new year.

But Samahin is between the fall equinox and winter solstice. Most simple way to celebrate this fesitval is by honor or memory those who pass on. Halloween we will set an extra plate just in case a spirit want to join in celebration. There small group of pagan in our community and years past we would get together with pot luck. Not this year.

So I thought I would do little research and see if they might be some symbolic reason why the items I used on the altar meant something.

The scarf I use is same one I use to read tarot with...A scarf general mean prestige. But it has many other MEANINGS I still have an Aunt who is 90 and still wears a scarf tide under her chin, she still pretty much wears her hair as a late 1940 style. I took a few minute and looked up as someone DREAMING OF SCARF which is accessory to something.

I used empty spool of sewing thread to hold up the tarot cards. So let just use spool and thread and see if there symbolic meaning to either one.

As for a noun a spool is for winding. But in dream winding thread to a spool could possible mean a disagreement. But I will link you to AUNT FLO

Last thing is I used paper clips to hold tarot cards, Ok paper clip of meaning in symbolic way is being plan not easy to find. I will say it “To hold together”

Coffee is on

Today Is Wednesday October 28 2020, This Is What Happen

 

Tomorrow I will finish off blogging with the items on my Samhain altar. The last card the moon represent my dad. I so could see this car represent my dad, it totally emotional card. I would guess it the most represent of emotional card in tarot deck.

But I am using This Site for keywords. To me this card is difficult in seeing if it positive or negativty. So I am going to use RANDOM NUMBERS so the words I will be using is illusion, complexity, and clarity.

He tend to have a negative illusion on lot of things though his life. I can only think or it seem only thing when came human race who were decent human being were his wife (My mother) his in law, and his family. Oh yes! A man who had a crew cut and or flat top would fall under a decent person. Other than that they were up to no good. Statement time...He was all for BARRY GOLDWATER totally law and order, and kept bottle booze in vehicle and would nip as he was driving and grip about someone breaking the law. But over the years his heart soften, over society change.

As a physical part of complexity I can see my dad as this way. He would try all sort of things to work out a situation in carpentry and such. But I had to go over to EMOTIONAL COMPLEXITY the family history I've done were some events in my dad life of that era, one didn't see a therapist. And one didn't or was confuse on how they might of felt. So I believe my dad hide it in alcohol for years.

My father didn't adventure out, different and new made him uncomfortable. He would play only three card games Cribbage, Pinochle, Rummage, and possible hearts.

My parents did jig saw puzzle and I would believe for some reason he would been comfortable doing the same puzzle over and over.

I think he had trouble understanding and recognizing his emotion, so it wasn't clear to him. So this I call it clarity.

Not sure when I will every get chance to do an ART QUILT I need lesson and or start out with something possible not as advance looking. But this artist view of this card is something I would believe it would look neat as art quilt.

But let move on, Pisces color is lavender and had a hard time finding any info on lavender candle. Purple usual represent royalty and now I am wonder if lavender is lighter shade of purple. Mean possible a weaker and or gentler royalty. Although I couldn't find anything negative on color of purple, and one might want to check out this site on COLORS and here is other site I got some of my info on COLORS

There also lavender the flower has it MEANING

Confession and Editor Note...I would have a hard time posting about anyone, which include my self on using the moon.

Started to actual crochet rag rug, as I watched the news. At this point I am not to impress with coloring. The contrast doesn't look right. It hard to tell when you roll up ball of fabric strips and how it actaul look when it complete done.

Today Is Tuesday October 27 2020, This What Happen

 

Let get on with my Samhain altar, My mom was a Virgo and her card is the hermit. Which totally surprised me. Both of my parents actual seem more social then me. But I know covid has put an damper on socializing. Then on the other hand when I was growing up there were more cocktail parties and such. Maybe it was a time of liquid encouragement.

Question time...what motives you? I know at this time I know for my mental health and during covid. I need something to occupy my time with and be safe. So every day I will work on one my creative project, even if it 5 minutes. Confession time...Before the covid I could very well procrastinate as anyone else. But my mother didn't seem to be a procrastinator.

Took two positive words that goes with hermit, which I will be using is “Contemplation” and Self Reflection”

The word “Contemplation” I need to look up. Yes to observe and yes my mother always made an effort to look at both sides or even multi side of any issue or situation that my come her away. I notice or it seems like her family has trouble looking at complete picture of anything. So I guess she odd ball out. Pretty much it seams her side puts things in certain category.

Self Reflection I like to use the quote “A sign of insanity is doing the same thing over and over hoping for a different results” If a person don't look at them self and reviewing how things are going in there daily life. Maybe a change might be necessary. My mom was willing at any age look and take sureness for change when needed. Opinion time...If one into self reflection way to much and don't step back one could miss the world around them.

Like all cards there the negative part, and hermit card has it other side to it. The two words I am using is rejection and recluse.

I don't see my mother ever being a recluse, if she would have been I think she would of kept her self occupied. She was always doing even when my dad pass on and I left home.

I don't know about any type of rejection in her life. I am sure they were some. There time the word “No” and rejecting something is for our and others own good.

The color of candle to go with the hermit is green. My mom favor color. Our kitchen was mint green. I haven't seen much negative with green candle. I like to look at more of prosperity and I necessary don't look at prosperity as money. To move forward with best intentions. I never heard my mom wish anyone ill. If she had issue with anther person, she let them go on with there life. Although not snubbing them.

Rejuvenate is connected with green. Doesn't it feel good when lawn is freshly mowed and your rubbing your toes in it. Every so often we all need to charge our batteries and it sad our sociability haven't figure this out. Northern European countries figured this out. All there citizen get a vacation, paid.

But other countries may or not look at green differently. For western country it has wide vary of meaning and I won't be covering them all. Green is color envy, that monster of jealousy. We put green with luck of Irish, the country is also known as Emerald Isle. And freshness.

Green is forbidden in Indonesia, at one time. Reason unknown. Mexico is there color for Independence. At one green was traditionally color for Islam, for middle east.

Although in China was a no no for men, meaning their wife have community adultery. But also I wonder if it also signal other that the man had no control of his wife. More or less of embarrassment to community.

Half work day. I need to come home and catch up on some personal paper work. Hubby went store and got some meat, and we repackage it in smaller serving size.

Thank you for your concern about Covid and I know the United States number is rising. My state of Idaho for positive rate is slightly over 24%, and my county is at I believe is 92%. So out of 100 people who been tested here, only 6 is coming back negative.

I wear a mask 4 to 8 hours a day at work. But with my client it pretty easy to social distance. They can take care of there physical needs.

Although when I go into a store I take off my cloth mask and put on N95 for extra protection, I would rather just do the cloth mask, but when see people out and about with a mask of any sort. Still believes it hoax. I need to protect my fellow human, regardless of my opinion of them. And my self.

So once a week I go have coffee with my friend Qunella, and as our numbers are going up. I'm thinking tomorrow will be my last day. We have our coffee at Under the Sun in the loft. But at counter there no protection between the customers and servers.

I try not to do business that don't have Plexiglas up to protect both workers and costumers.

Once I get home I take off my mask, and become a hermit.

Today Is Monday October 26 2020, This Is What Happen

 

Believe I will be pretty much starting my blog post about my sitting up my Samhain Altar. This year I am taking both Murphy and my parents major arcana cards from a tarot deck. Yes and basing it from there zodiac sign.

Both Murphy parents were Taurus, earth and a fixed sign. In major arcana it connected with “Hierophant” and had to look up the word to see what it meant. “Is the teacher of wisdom” and or “Who intercepts sacred mysteries and or esoteric principles”.

I never meant my mother in law. But I don't see my father in law as Hierophant or anything close to this. Although I am not questioning his knowledge or wisdom. As all of us he did have his short coming.

Two of key positive word is tradition and conventionality. Confession time...My parents had  a  different type relationship, his parents was pretty much the man was head of household. The typical 1950 and to mid 1960's. My mom was pretty much a woman libber and every so often my mother would give my dad a what ever. And Murphy said his mother never stood up to her husband. So I guess one could say that would tradition and conventionality of that time.

The two negative words is New Methods and Ignorance. When I meant my father in law his children was all grown and such, with grandchildren. I believe he was set in his way and some people are and have there own ideals, not saying there right or wrong. Just there ideals. But I surely wouldn't say he is ignored. As many of us, we might not know something but I guess we do make the choice to learn or not to learn. But I don't know if he would be uncomfortable of trying new things or not.

Each zodiac sign has a color to go with them. And Taurus one colors is brown.

Brown is to keep something and we know most things we don't keep. But taking care of it and it may be able to stay a longer.

Stability is word I like for the color brown. Soil is usual some tone or shade of brown. Think of all the things connect with the earth, trees, food, birds, animals, and feeling the earth soil below us, gives some of us balance.

Browns here is what usually paper sack is made of. Is a stable color and our food is connect with brown soil.

Asian culture is connect with both earth and mourning.

Latin America has a complete different look. It actual or could discourage sales. Guess one would rarely see brown packaging. It a disproving.

I have brown sweater on this evening and if I was down in South America I guess I might get some funny looks.

Middle East it color of comfort and harmony.

To make any shade of brown it pretty much any and all colors put together.

Saw both my client today. I was worried about Liz over the weekend and she talk to her doctor and there going to do a med adjustment.

Well the Covid cases are going up. For the positive cases coming back in my county here in North Idaho is just above 90%. Not good. The county of Kootenai just about a little over hour south. There county commissioners did pass a mandate. It looks like it pretty much split right down the middle now. About people wearing a mask or not.

So there people who is calling the mask mandate a form of communism and or fascism. Although I honestly seem people who thinks it the same thing. Opinion time...I don't want either one.

I live in sparsely population in Idaho, our county has about 12,000 people. Over the weekend there were 16 more cases here. And you will see people in stores with out a mask.

Because of my job I wear a mask 4 to 8 hours a day. I just don't get people who can't put on a mask for probably less and hour, to go into a store.

Today Is Sunday October 25 2020, This Is What Happen

 For some odd reason I am craving jello. But time I get it made and sits up, the craving will be gone. Not much happen today, and I like days like that. I don't seek excitement these days.

Murphy and I went up and visit with our friend Qunella. And we all wore our mask. I understand Kootenai county is just south of me, a bigger populated area. Our health dist removed the mask mandate and numbers are going up. But the county commissioners is taking a vote. If passes I understand if your caught without a mask, you could get $1.000 fine. Not sure if any steps like that going to be taken like that here.

For tonight I would like to talk about two things I did for my Samhain altar. My main candle color is black and I am not much into candles and color. 

It depend were one look and culture of the meaning of black. It said it physical color to absorb light and in pagan could say it will take away negative energy. Let not bury our head in the ostrich hole our ancestors who paStasses is far from Saintly and when the come to visit we don't need to deal with their negative attitude. Here in west it associated with evil, mystery, and illness. Queen Victoria wore her black dress after her beloved Albert died, for forty years. But like the Middle East  countries look at black as rebirth. But in African countries it Age and Maternity. Question time...How do you look and feel about black...For my self I find black an easy color to follow a good directional that usual can work with about any color for geometric shapes and such. A very classy color and meaning of authority.

What would Halloween be with out a pumpkin. I know the story of guy name jack who did trick the devil and now wonders the land with his lantern. But other places had more to carve and made into a lantern was Turnips more scarier than a pumpkin. But saying all that so what does pumpkin have for Halloween and such, with out taking a knife to it. It looks like the main reason is for a food source. They now come in all colors, shape and sizes. If all else fail why not look up what does pumpkin symbolize...resilient, growth and abundance. It said if one dream of pumpkins. In hebrew pumpkin "Kishuin" meaning difficulty. Statement time...Some of big one is difficult to move. One may have a good time with time limited. Remember Cinderella and by the stroke of midnight things was to chance back. It also very GOOD FOR YOU 

Work week coming up. But I believe Monday I will have a chance to finish up anther page for my sketchbook project for the brooklyn art library.

Not sure what I was thinking or if I was even in my correct mind. I was wondering if there was such a thing on web of picking a random color. Well the answer is "yes" So I found this site called COOLORS and thought of putting all of my fabrics in, using this site. It could help one find a matching or compliment colors. Than I had a palm in face moment and thought when will I every have time to put my fabrics on site. Confession time...I have fabrics and I will leave it at that. This print I was planning to use it for a block that has a tree in it. I was wondering what the color generator would come up with.

I was first to adventure outdoors, took trash to garage/Shed. Mail off my time slip and also brought up shovel closer to the house. The main snow storm was bit south of here.

I keep meaning to finish up last three numbers of the minor arcana in tarot deck.

Eights are infinity with all sort of possibility. I like to say there usual more than one way to accomplish something. But remember we're responsible for our decisions and choices.

Nines almost there ready to put extra special ump to complete what needs or wants

Tens beginning or completing a cycle of something.

Hopefully I will now can share how and reason why I set up my Samhain altar the way I did.

Started to paste down some of piece for my next page for BROOKLYN ART LIBRARY. I'm basing it on the planet Pluto as it going though all the zodiac signs. Or one might say it about historical generations

Hope to have it done so I can take part in PAINT PARTY FRIDAY

Earlier today I learn about ART MONSTER RALLY on social media, one of my cousin took part in one. I understand artist have so much time given to complete a piece of art and then it sold. It entertaining and usual for a fund raiser.

Wouldn't use the word disappointed. But I was hoping it would have been the same size of my other totes for my scrap of fabrics. But I am making it work. Not going to send it back, had a hard enough time finding a tote 15 quarts. Just had to cut the dividers differently. But here the thing bothers me that I cut bunch to fit the other companies totes.

Today I iron and browns and beige fabrics and got wrap on plastic corrugated board. Anyhow I am pretty much out of it, got it from thrift store. If I can find super deal on it, will get some more. Or card board box will work as well. Plus then I will be reusing and or recycling.

T

Even I have already cast my ballot. I watch the last debate between Biden and Trump. Confession time...I was wondering what off wall thing Trump was going to pull, sort of like going to hockey game to see fights. The only thing I would say Trump might of slow the bleeding down. But who know how election will go. So during the debate I rolled up strips of fabric. Which in couple weeks or so I will do it in to a crochet rag rug. I just can't do nothing.

It snowing again our second round. Looks like we have about 3 inches on ground. 

Our county moved into the red for covid cases, and still about half people have some mask protect on. At work I was going to take my client to do crafts at there mental health building. But they called and said one cases came through and possible a second, waiting for the results. So there contact tracing and the building is being washed down. I am in county of about 10,000 people and we have about 50 active cases going on. But still I am guess slightly over half people is wearing mask. 

So we spend a little time up Liz doing crafts I practice some drawing. Reggis made a face on his N95 mask, and Liz didn't have project to work on. She has mention before her and her paternal grandma and she would embroidery, and she would like a review of stitches. It will give her something to do, other than letting things float into her mind.  

Not sure what going on this weekend. Table is looking a little clutters, some snow removal, work on creative project, and oh I need to mail time slips.

Oh some a while back ago ask me about people packing guns. I don't look for those who are packing every so often one will see a holesiter with gun in. One thing I never seen here is someone wearing a mask and packing a gun. I just don't get it they feel God will protect them from virus and but feel so threaten that there going to be attack, just going into a local food mart of sort. We have 12 gauge shot gun for home protection, and would a lease take while to find the shells for it. I would give it 1 to 200 million that we would have to use in a home invasion. But I do wonder when I see those who choose to pack that the y're mentally stable. I know a few been in behavior health (mental ward) and carries a gun.

My week and most of the month I feel like I am the tortoise, in the tortoise and hare. I keep plugging a long. I mange to get one of my strips cut for an upcoming crochet rag rug. The other sheet which I will cut into strips is in the laundry hamper. I rarely purchase fabric for a crochet rag rug, not even from thrift store. The rugs take quite bit of fabric.

Still cutting strips and sewing them together. After there all sewed into strips I will cut them into strips the other way, and sew them together. Having a block look.

Today Regis and I went ghost hunting. I have never felt a strong present at cemetery. It complete dead there who wants hang around bunch of dead who isn't bit lively. Any how I feel more present other place even right now. So I knew they were a cemetery called LAKE VIEW

Usual walking though a cemetery there a few graves and from unknown reason, one might wonder about a person. I am guess this guy died during WWI. The flag that was engraved had worn thin, notice the strips and lay out as was blowing wind. There was other people in same general area with the same surname.

A few of gravestone have topple over. Quite a few of the graves have sunken in. Not sure what sort soil is on lake. But it a pretty view.

Afterward we did our running around.

Today Is Tuesday October 20 2020, This Is What Happen.

 

Took the day off, so I could get the things done that takes two people to do. That a in little bit down the post. But I meant my friend Quenella for a bit, we went to Under The Sun for coffee and each of us bought a cookie.

I usually get one of there SEATTLE CHOCOLATE CANDY and now I am thinking maybe getting some for Sawyer In Laws.

So after coffee we walk across the street and we then went to book store. I briefly looked at possible book for Granddaughters and my friend got the item she ordered. She ask the owner of place if he had any problem with his mask and gun mandate. It pretty simple when you enter the store, your to wear a mask and not carry gun. Idaho is an OPEN CARRY STATE so far he said he hasn't had any issues. Only few times outside of sidewalk he heard a few comments.

Afterwards we went over to A LITTLE COMFORT QUILTING and got around a yard of unbleach muslim to do some embroidery blocks for quilt. Quenella saw some fabric she liked for a skirt.

We parted ways. I decided to stop in at ONE OF OUR THRIFT STORE to see what they possible had for used sheets. I found something that would work for a complimentary color for a crochet rag rug I am working on. But if there wasn't nothing there I did have something that would work. But I'm more please with the sheet from the thrift store.

Murphy and I clean out the chimney. He got the snowblower ready, which includes and oil change.

Yesterday I briefly posting about my job as HOME CAREGIVER/PERSONAL CAREGIVER but I would like to answer how I am paid. Both of my clients is on MEDICAID and when it comes right down to it, state of Idaho pays my wages. But they have what called care agency mange the clients and every town has them.

So if someone qualify to have a personal caregiver they pick an agency to go though. Then the agency matches them up with someone to come into there home. The person who comes into there home is to have complete background check. But they don't check out the client, and I could tell you plenty of scary stories.

The state pays the agency and the agency pays the worker. Last I heard the state pays agency around $20 an hour. And depending on agency is what they pay those who go into the home. Here in Idaho it ranges from $7.25 to $15.00 an hour. I get $14.99 and hour.

There was some comment about elderly people. But there people who aren't elderly or seniors. My clients are same ages as me. One a little younger and the other is slightly older. The main reason they get a personal caregiver is because they have mental and emotional issues.

There even people who have children with needs that someone comes in and helps them with their children.

I sage our place and finished sitting up my Samhain altar. It to celebrate our ancestors who came and gone before. I am using a combo of candles and major arcana card. I want to finish the numbers connect with tarot, minor arcana only. Which will finish up today and hopeful tomorrow. Then I will take time and explain why I sat up my altar as I did.

So I will cover the next four cards...Four...Five...Six...and Seven.

Four, one has corner covered, holding steady, well balance.

Five, confuse tension. Group could be uneasy.

Six, Moving a long nicely, growing.

Seven, Waiting and or evaluating.

Up little and went on tread mill for a short time. Have an older tread mill. Going to look for some ear buds or something I can listen to some podcast as I am on tread mill.

Looks like some weather changes are on the way. Rain, Snow and Sleet.

Today Is Monday October 19 2020, This Is What Happen

 Snow gone, well actual it was gone that same afternoon. Went to work and quite day. I was ask about sometime post what a caregiver and a personal caregiver. So here go....

There people for many reason has a person come into their home to help them with their daily living. It could be cause of age, a physical, emotional issues, and or mental reason. The caregiver try to make there life easier and comfortable. A caregiver might total bath them to head to toe, or give que about bathing and high gene. Every caregiver and client relationship is different. I like to spend 10 to 20 minute listening to them when I first come to work. Then after that I would ask what they need done. Usual my client says "Whatever needs to be done." So I usually do home chores and if I think my client needs something called to their attention. I will bring it up.. I usually set up appointment and attend with them. A lease once week I try to do something fun with my client, to keep their mind active. So it looks like the 28th we're going to carve pumpkins. There all sort of things we do here a short example, cook meal, sweep and mop. Remind client to take there medication, fix sandwich, laundry, make sure there pets are taken care of, dust and etc. 

Let briefly talk about weight. When I am bored or stress I like to nipple and or at time stuff my face with cookies. Will weight myself tomorrow and report to my friend. Her and I was in tops together. But since covid it just not happening. And for good reason. Also weigh myself on even days. 

Let talk briefly and it won't or shouldn't take much time is about numbers on tarot cards. Statement time...I don't pay much attention to the numbers of cards. Talking about minor arcana. Let just first three numbers...One is no one it just you. At time sometime we might need another mellon depending on the situation.But at times it better to hold your own Two your add another piece to whatever puzzle of life comes your way. But sometime two can work together but other time they can pull. Three is first one to make something come wonky. Every here that saying one just fine at times, two company and three not aloud. But them three has the vote to break a tie or finish a decision Three also a start of group. 

Took off the elastic from and old bottom sheet. Ready to cut it in to 2 inch strips. But I still need to dig though my tote of old sheets to find a complimentary sheet to go with yellowish color.

Today Is Sunday October 18 2020, This Is What Happen.

 

So far I started a load of laundry mainly heavier items. Tossed in old bottom sheet which will be cut for strips and made into crochet rag rug. Well it will be use as yule gift. Managed to put a few other items in my thrift store box. And sort of plan out this up coming week. Before Thursday the 22^nd I need to stop in to a fabric store and get some Muslim, so I can make them into blocks for a granddaughter quilt. But as for project my main focus is my 2 inch block quilt. Hopeful before next weekend I can give a little report.

It snowing and usual Halloween night is are first snow, usual it doesn't stick.

My video yesterday and later on I will link my vlog. But I mention about community, which could change from time to time or place to place.

To the north when I step out I see two vehicle. Which means there possible transportation. Then comes question...should I leave and what would the reason me to leave.

Since it snowing and didn't want to put on winter shoe gear, no photo. But it closer neighbors Mennonites. And I know there good neighbors and most of them follows and lives there faith, although they don't try to convert you.

Then to east of me is a group of maple tree, used as wind break. We all need a break from our daily life.

To the west of me, is a field and the farmer who uses it usual puts up hay and after the second cutting he puts his cattle out to graze. At time we all need to widen our horizon.

Usual the middle card represent one self or if your reading for another person it them

So the minor arcana as in group is a community that surround. Might even look at as possible town.Not everyone or any set rules to your spiritual community. For me its

Cups in community is doctor, minister, therapist. Someone you might go to for problem. But it might be a friend or such that might need your help or they might be the one to help.

Wands in community is one who bring new ideal such a teachers, librarians, scientist. People who made changes or possible might even look at what you might need to change and what pace do you need make change. No need to injury one self.

Pentacles I consider them the merchants and physical part of life. A farmer would be one of these people who is part of our daily living. My husband and I are eating an apple. Someone grew that apple.

Last one is sword. The military, offense and defense of life.

So in middle is seven of cups, she refusing something and is for right or wrong reason. Above her is nine swords and I would say it about choices, Pick your battle wisely. At the other end is page of wands nothing wrong with having new goals and ideals. One should weigh all sides of something before making a choices. Left side seven wands might have ideal but what tools one might need. To get there and or protect. Last one on right side, five swords one again it has to with what tools need to be use or not use. Possible taking care of tools. I see tools of life in this layout. This person might feel a little over whelm in there life. Time to count to 10 and break things down so you could look at them. Regroup before moving forward. 

Hubby and I did go to store. Town and store was quite busy. Like most Sunday I guess they have extra protection from big person up stair. Oh, hardly and mask on. Hubby and I had our N95's on. I forgot to get my special butter. I have dairy issues, so what put bread and such isn't regular butter. Sewed some strips of fabric for my up coming 2 inch block square. Talk to one of my friend out of Spokane and my Son Bart.  Here the link to my VLOG 

Today Is Saturday October 17 2020, This Is What Happen

 Oh I did VLOG. covered a little there and shared a few things. It seem ahead of time I know or plan to share. When I get in front camera or behind lap top. I forget something. I tend to forgot more behind the camera.

Managed to get box of items to be donated to one of local thrift stores. We won't be going into town until Sunday. There odds I will find more to take in. 

This is how I'm organizing my craft supplies and such. I like to keep my clients occupied. So this is way I can easily transport. To me and I could be wrong. Wouldn't be the first time. If one doesn't occupied there mind in some matter or other. Something else is going to be occupy it. If I am going to lay odds on it. It going to be something all that not friendly or should say mental unhealthy. 

As you can see in this pouch I have crafty scissors and I am not sure how I will organize it all. But it getting me more space.

One thing I like to keep track of money. Most of time I use a debt card. Every so often I will write a check out for something. Found this personal check log book,t over amazon and I'm just not going to count the pages. But it looks like it should record more then those check register one gets from the bank. 

Started my Christmas shopping list and working on my bullet journal book

Today Is Friday October 16 2020, This Is What Happen

 Just start looking at toys for my granddaughters. Our next set down big celebration will be Thanksgiving. Well Hubby and I just setting on the home front. So for us we will get a couple of cornish game hen. Not sure if we will be doing stuffing and all trimmings. One thing I would like to have is dinner rolls with some type of preserves. 

End of work week, and there plenty of things to do around the place. One of top thing is to pay bills and get my money in order. I just like to know were it at. We used the debt card and such and never keep track. 

Got couple of package today, Liz ask me to order something for her grandson. I ordered a few things, and my hubby got his item also. Well like I said not going anywhere for Thanksgiving and unless this covid things is poof gone. Look like Christmas will look the same. I will still put a tree and my yule altar. I have two more items coming for my Samhain altar. Well I could very well get one the candle tomorrow in mail and I am guess the other item will come Wednesday.

I have trouble getting the three things lined up when it comes to loosing weight...exercise, food, and water. It seems I can do one of these quite successful. But add two to the problem and I then fall off the wagon. Although not saying I did terrible. It easy for me to even know what to do when it comes to eating. But do I do it, and simple answer is "NO" Or one could honestly say I "DON'T" nessuary eat for nutritional reasons.

Rain most of day.

Today Is Thursday October 15 2020, This Is What Happen

 Didn't have to mumble and cuss about, until I was sewing my last strip of fabric. Now starting to sew the 2 inch block quilt. I feel comfortable of purchasing some muslim fabric to make embroidery blocks for my grand daughters quilt. Although I just don't see me going and purchasing in next few days. 

Yesterday Hubby and I went to Sandpoint he had cardigram and I think that was it called. I ran some errands and such. Time I got back he was done. They will get back to us.

As Regis was at his appointment I ran some errands for my clients. Stop in at local book store and got gift for Liz Grandson, who turn one. Hubby and I was invited to the party. I thank them and said I just go to work and go home, and that pretty much covers it. I honestly don't know who going to be at party. And still the mask thing here hasn't caught on. So for safety reason I will sit this party out. I understand for population of Idaho, we're number 8 for positive cases.

I was talking to my friend Quenella. A little this and little that she was saying she was feeling anxious but the entire 2020. I know for my self I would use the word "respectful" and "perturbed" 

Hoping to make video today, but it didn't work out. Hopefully I can one in tomorrow. If not Saturday should be good. 

Mostly clear skys.

Today Is October 13 2020, This Is What Happen

This morning I finished cutting my tans and brown. Once I got home from work I end up cutting two of mystery package 

These are four plaids planning to work to the quilt. So now ready to start to sew. Confession time...I get so frustrate with this new blogger format.

Since the covid been going on, I haven't been to T.O.P.S since covid, and I don't know if it going on or not. My choice was not to return till either a vaccine or it complete gone. Well I was down for week. I did the tread mill and like I said I find boring.

A set of altar candles arrived. But still waiting for my dark green and black candle to come. Some time ago I got this book called TAROT FOR DUMMIES Confession time...I am big fan of these dummy books. I thought of going though the book on my blog. I simple look at the tarot as a tool or even let call it my therapist. Some time I need awake up call from a slap to gentle nudge.  There no wrong or right way of doing tarot. Each of archetypes will bring something different end all of us. I thought of starting with the cards I use for my Samhain altar. Many thoughts are about tarot deck and what the cards are. It say we are to be neutral on the cards. When we see a painting or writing it brings all sort of things out. Might not at one time. Might sound strange but I find the music to "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" quite sad. Tarot is also a card game which I never played. But it also use as story telling, like the stain glass window in church. Before majorty population could read. So hopeful over next few while on my blog or vlog we can see what cards represent. So first of brief out line of tarot reading.

If all works good I will be doing fabric undoing and the brief out line of tarot cards.

 Getting sick of the virus, with China population and such they seem to have a better hand on it. Now some one tell me to shut up. 

Work went ok, Liz daughter has new granddaughter born with Spina Bifida. My prayers and thoughts are with them. Regis and I did crafts, he seem a little down. Plus those two were stabbing at each other with words.

Today Is Sunday October 11 2020, This What Happen

 A quick trip into town, get a few items. Not much happened today. I slept rough around one in morning I woke up and just start to think. Nothing important if it resolved in seconds or months down the road it real doesn't matter. What I was thinking is how I want to finish my granddaughters quilts and I am not even ready to start on them. 

Well I choose brown and beige I want to add to my 2 inch block quilt. Or should I say the browns and beiges choose me. Not that many of those colors. So in pessimistic view I should have done by Thursday. Then I am ready to start sewing thing together.

Earlier today I did a zoom group on interpreting dream, and this is dream I share. I was in a kitchen and looking for my pills, and they weren't in my usual place. I keep my pills in heart shape box on kitchen counter. They weren't there and my mom had smirky grin and suggest I look up in cupboard above the fridge and they cupboard was empty, and then my mom just start to laugh at me. Not sure where or who these two other people were but this other lady start to chew me out, and saying I was taking advantage of my mom and I was greedy selfish. So I look at her and told her to shut up. Then in dream there was door size if linen closet, but one step up to get to it. First lady who I told to shut up, went up step and open the door, and left. Then my mom and this guy also step up and went through the door. I felt relieve when they all were gone. Side note in kitchen area was an old kitchen cabinet that should of been stain or painted ages ago. The cabinet looked solid and doors was closed. And this wasn't my mother behavior. 

I like to see how you interpret the dream.

 

Today Is Saturday October 10 2020, This Is What Happen.

 Raining here in North Idaho and breeze out of the south. 53.3 (11.7) hoping the rain will take break so, a trip to graveyard will be possible. My spirit adventures usual the cemetery is pretty dead place to find any so called action. Just in casual day I've had more visitors from so called ghost and spirits. Just remember there just passing though. And we call have our guides with us.Actual first thing or almost. I got dress and somehow my sock got mismatch. I am sure there anther pair just like.

Stop in at one of local thrift store, yes and did get more fabric. Once I retire I can sew to my heart is content. And do other creative things.

Found a pumpkin to put on my samhain altar. But still waiting for my candles. Haven't heard why there low inventory of candles in stores. I sure didn't like price I ended paying for them.

As I was checking out of the thrift store. I found this witch. Couldn't pass her by.

Finished up iron the rest of my yellow fabric. Usual my husband watches the three stooges, during that time I could possible cut rest of my stripes.

Just did a internet order, and I kept thinking of something was missing. And once smacked the submit button, it came to me. I need a NEEDLE THREADER and wanted INTERNATIONAL SUE BONNET SUE. The needle threader I can get at a dollar store. The quilt which I will be using sue bonnet, just don't see starting until end of year or more like next year.

Little latter I think I will have some raisin bran with a banana. My ears fill plug so I put some mineral oil on cottons balls, place them my ear and hope it will loosen up the waxy gunk. The last few days I been doing my walks, feel better.In case you didn't know it WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY and walking is also good for one MIND

Confession time...I find the tread meal just plain boring.

Today Is Thursday October 8 2020, This Is What Happen

 Not total true statement. Statement time...I like to visit blogs that our diversified. I thought I had pretty round blogger pals. Any of them, would lean in variety of ways depending issue at hand. But I notice I have none who might display a confederate flag and or a nazi flag. Or just haven't shown one. Confession time...I think if I ran into a blog with either one of these symbols. I would so much not even comment and call them all sort of fowl things under my breath.  I add two blogs to my reading, BOHEMIAN VALHALLA  and MISTRESS MADDIE. Hope you find time to check them out.

Short day at work. A little worried about hubby healthy. He doesn't have the vigor as he once did. He constantly in some type of pain. It usual one or two heavy duty project a day. In morning he does is stretching routine. As I was at work he pulled out air conditioner window united. He want to manage his pain without opioids.  I can't blame him. They do have there place, but I think in long run they don't take care of the issues, and actual do more harm. There was a few chores I did before I left. I clean bathroom sink and mirror. Made the bed, and help hubby divided up some meat. 

Looks like I am halfway through cutting my yellow stripes, for my upcoming quilt. I should have them cut out before first part of next week. Then on to browns and beige fabrics. So hopeful around the mid month I can start sewing. 

Yesterday in my blog post I mention my Samhain altar and I was going to use tarot cards, major arcana to match there sun sign. I start to look at my family tree of those who have past and what there major arcana sign would be. Most of my mom siblings have gone. This morning I was update info on my Aunt Alice who would of been born on cusp of Pisces and Aries. The card for her would be Moon and Emperor. I never knew my Aunt Alice as what I heard she didn't have an easy life. Possible a lot of emotional abuse from her mom, my grandma. Then my Aunt Alice son Leroy is also gone. His major arcana card would been Hierophant. He is so much older then me. He would of turn 16 that year I was born. Shortly after high school he went into the army and did 20 years.  See both my maternal grandparent major arcana card would be the moon. See I am learning my great grandma Anna, was emotional abusing her daughter Olive, that became my grandma.

I did get a walk in today.

Today Is Wednesday October 7 2020, This Is What Happen

 

I was typing out my post and poof it dispersed into unknown places. Well I won't cover my complete day of yesterday. But one might as well hear about Regis and my adventure in Mitchell store, in Priest River Idaho. To me I've claim as for those who mask wears, it depend on which way the wind is out of.

So I had to go to the bathroom and I would of got little something. As we're in car in parking lot we got our mask ready to put on. I did notice one person walking into the store with a mask. Regis and walked in the store with mask. Didn't see the bathrooms and ask clerk were they were. She pointed to front. Not sure what Regis did but let say I was in the bathroom for 3 minutes or so. So after, I grab a candy bar, usual on Tuesday I like to try to dry a new dark chocolate bar. This time I got raspberry tart. It was ok I think it need hazelnuts.

Now it let get back to what real want to say. Regis wears this mask that is a skull and the few people in there had to turn there head. I believe and can't prove it. But they just want laugh at him. That one issue about living small conservative town any thing so called out of there version of normal isn't excepted.

On the way back. Stop at Walmart to get a few items. The main thing I want to get was candles for my Samhain alter. This year I am doing my parents and Murphy parents which has both past. For each of our parents I will use the major arcana to match there zodiac sign. Both of Murphy parents were Taurus and the card I will use is hierophant. My mom was a Virgo and card for her will be hermit. And for my dad I will be put up the moon card.

Well as for candle I want to match up the card and zodiac sign. So for hierophant I was looking for a darker green, Hierophant a brown, and moon card I will use a lavender candle. Around a six inch candle will be use for black candle in the middle.

So I order all candles off of esty.

Got a few yellow stripes cut. The ones I cut was solid yellow. But if you notice the two in middle looks the same shade. The difference is the texture, now I need to move on to the yellow prints. I did manage to get in a walk this morning.

 If your not interested in reading my list below on why I feel Trump doesn't deserve a second term, you can CLICK HERE watch less five minute video. Or continue reading the list I made why I think and feel trump doesn't deserve to be rehired as President.

1. Before he was running against Secretary Clinton and made statement...that he could kill someone on fiftieth avenue and get away with it.

2. The way he mocked that disabled person. During one of his rally

3. Any female who disagree with him, he calls them “Nasty Woman”

4. Reporters who he doesn't like their question, he usual says something rude to them and about the question

5. Poor countries or people of color he calls there country “Shithole”

6. Has called our veterans and our service people “looser”

7. He down played “Covid 19”

8. Doubt he listen to his adviser and cabinet

9. The national debt

10. Paid Stormy Daniels...If porn star can get money from him. Wonder who and what possibly anther country government extort from him.

11. Had a foreign country investigate American Citizen, there government agency that does that.

12. Has done nothing or very little with Climate issue.

13. Didn't increase taxes top income earners.

17. Insults people.

18. Doesn't care for people. Driven  around Washington DC for his supporters to see. Putting his secret service in danger and their families.

19. If he lose the election he not sure if he will leave. Fact our system here in United States uses the Electoral College. So either candidate with 270 electoral votes will be next president. Remember Clinton won popular vote by little less three million votes.

21. His relationship with Putin and Jong-um

22. His childish game on twitter.

23. His ideal and such leans toward “National Socialism”
