Return to Phae

Mexico was great! We had so much fun. More on that later with the pictures.

I really needed this vacation. I feel so different even after only a week. I missed BC and my kitties and my brother and friends. But being away really helped me to put some things into perspective.

I feel refreshed and vibrant in a way that I haven't felt in a really long time. I can see myself and my place a little better now, though I don't think that things will go back to being the way they were before.

I'm a little worn out still from last night's Welcome Home party, so I am gonna write more later.

While we were gone, my little purple egg turned into a big dragon that I have named Violet Beauregard:



And I have finally gotten some of my dragons to mate successfully! Here are the new little eggies:



Nighty night guys - more to come later.

Hi All -

I guess this is an update of sorts. I haven't really been doing much other than working, sleeping and taking pictures. WD and I just booked a trip to Mexico, so I am looking forward to a long overdue holiday.

I think that we have pretty much decided to spend some time travelling over the next few years. The plan, such that it is, is to head to Europe and Britain next June. Past that, I am continuing with school, and getting a photography business set up.

I am feeling somewhat adrift again. My most recent tarot spread was a three card spread and showed the 6 of Swords, the Devil and the Ace of Pentacles.

Seems somewhat portentous to me at this point - though, I'm not really sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

I do know that I've got to start swimming again.  I haven't had any kind of energy lately.  I feel like I am always exhausted.  It's true what they say about sleep - you can never really catch up.  Once it's gone, it's gone.

I'm really looking forward to our holiday.  If for no other reason than because I will actually be able to rest with nothing to worry about.  I am going to try and make sure that we don't plan too many activities.  Our last holiday ended with us being more tired when we got back than before we went.  I don't know if I could handle that happening again.

I'm letting a lot of things slide right now.  Cooking, magic, LJ, etc.  I know that I can't keep up with everything right now.  I've been spread too thin for too long.

I think that there are some changes coming (besides governmental and economical upsets) - I'm just hanging on for the ride.

That's about it for me.  I do try to read LJ every other day or so, but beyond Twitter, I know that there hasn't been much noise from me.  I aten't dead ;)
