control over my rage monster...

afternoon my lovelies, 

how are you all?  i'm slowly losing my sanity and control over my rage monster every time i see a headline or turn on the news.  therefore, i am trying to limit my news watching/reading. to entertain myself i've started re-watching Outlander.  i finished season 1 last night.  i lost access to starz a few years ago and have missed several seasons.  i thought i'd start back at the beginning and watch again.  i think it is a really good show and am enjoying revisiting my jamie fraser crush. although i did fast forward through the last two episodes of season 1 (iykyk).

i've spent time in the garden this week and also getting my bedroom sorted.  it's pretty much put back together now, other than hanging pictures, etc.  i started on the blackberries in the garden and made very good progress.  i'll show you next time i work in it.  i have foxglove, love-in-a-mist, blackeyed susans and cosmos coming up.  yay!

remember this picture...

from this post?

i thought i'd show you how my new journal is coming along.  at the time i was calling it a collective, but i just really didn't like it so i'm calling it my book of me.

i'm using the moleskine cahier kraft cover journals. they have 80 pages in each.  i'm always taping in pages to make it larger.  it was getting so hard to search for stuff that i had to add tags to seperate the months and added little tabs to some paper clips to mark the important pages for each month.  things i keep track of are habits, messages from the ancestors, daily gratitudes, quotes, movies & tv shows, books, little magics/sychronicities, affirmations.

anywho, i'm on the fourth notebook. i glue/tape the front of the next to the back of the last, then use the duct tape to form the spine.  i can't imagine how wide/tall this is going to be by the end of the year.  i'd thought this would make it easier to carry around with me, doing a smaller journal. obviously, that was wrong.

well...i guess that is it for me today. i've taken everything out of my hall closet/pantry and am waiting for the handyman to come fix the wire shelving.  (i hate wire shelving, btw.) now i've got to go through and see what to keep, giveaway, trash or recycle, and figure out how to store it all.

this is a project i'll be doing for months, as i plan to go through everything i own and do the same.  if i find any cool things that i don't want to keep but don't want to drop at goodwill, i might see about giving them away here.  we'll see how it goes and what i find. 

alrighty then, enough boring ramblings. 

thanks for reading,

love & kisses & magical wishes...
