Well hi there…yeah. That’s what happens when I make plans going forward. I run into issues along the way, which derails everything. Welcome to my life. But it makes things interesting, eh? 🙂

So to keep everyone abreast of what is happening over here….here’s what’s happened. A few medical appointments took place which took a lot longer than I thought they would have. Figures. I spend 90% of the time at the doctor’s office waiting to be seen. That truly sucks. Then by the time I get home, I have a ton of things to get done which I put on hold for the appointment. When I look up, its time to head off to bed. And that really puts a boner on the next day for me, as I spend time trying to make up for the time I lost the day before. Yeah. I know. Poor, poor me. But it is what happens. Nothing I can do about it…except wait until the time comes beck again. ::shrug:: In the meantime, I hope I didn’t lose anybody. If I did…sorry.

So where were we? Let’s see…I’m supposed to be posting a book review on Emma Restall Orr’s “Druid Priestess” book. Yeah. That ain’t going to happen this time around. So, instead we’ll just talk a bit more about how things have been going. Its hot, here. I mean…its hot. In two days, the temps are going to be coming down. I’m really quite ready for that to happen. I could do without the 100F + temps that have been floating around here. Yesterday, it rained. First time in a long time. And when it was done…the temps and the rainfall together…turned this place into a sauna. So I am looking forward to the downturn of temps…its about time.

Now, folks have been asking what I’ve been doing in terms of Paganism in my time recently. Not much. I’ve not explored much in the area, in terms of people, gatherings, or groups. I’ve been hyper-focused on my health. Will I get out into the community? Possibly. But from what I have seen so far, the community is sparse – at best. Either that, or its hidden so deep that its hard to even see. Whatever the case may be…things are fairly quiet. Dallas was a lot more open. But then, the entire community was far more open. Nothing like things are like here. Arkansas is a fairly quiet place, in terms of Paganism. Not many folks are willing to be open…and honestly, I can see why.

Is it like being in the open with nothing to shelter you? Hardly. More likely, its a lot like being in the forest and hiding in the foliage. Or at least that’s what it feels like. At least there’s the internet to stay in touch with others throughout the world. It does make this corner of the world a little smaller and colder though.

Anyways…I wanted to post a little something to let people know that I am alive. Medical appointments are numerous….and then fall off to nothing. So, that’s what keeps me from posting. I make my way through the mess of my life one day at a time. But I do keep things going…
