I wanted to thank you all for being such sweethearts! My head cold is
better, but it is trying to go into my chest... chronic bronchitis
sucks. I am fighting it with every kind of medicine I have at my
disposal. We'll see.
We had a big scare with Kylala last night. We really thought she was
going to stop breathing. Now, she's eating her seed... which she almost
never eats. Definitely a fighter.

I had to take my rat to the vet last Thursday. Since we found her she
has had an incurable viral disease that is very common to rats. She
has had some bad days since we got her, but she went downhill in the
last month. We are doing what we can at this point and are going back
to the vet next Thursday. So we’ll see.
Also last Thursday I went major grocery shopping. With gas being what
it is, it cut way into our food budget so the last couple months we
have been using our small stockpile from the pantry. But I was able to
go replenish everything this month. Our vet appointment was suppose to
be on Tuesday and I was planning to shop on Thursday, which obviously
got changed. The vet called to change the appointment at the last
minute so I wasn’t prepared to go shopping. So I had the brilliant
idea of cramming everything into one day. Very bad idea.
I left the house at 3pm to pick up our harvest share drop it back off
at home grab Kylala (our rat) and head to the vet for a 4pm
appointment. I left the vet at about 5:30pm. I had 7 stores lined up
to take advantage of sales, coupons, bulk store and the like. I only
managed 6. I didn’t get home until about midnight. Granted I am a
total night person, but I pushed myself way to hard and caught a cold.
I knew it was going to happen too. Not like I listen to myself or all
the signs. Blah. Luckily it doesn’t seem too bad and I should be over
it soon.
I also wanted to share with whoever would be interested in it, Twitter.
It is kinda of like a blog, but different. You can send little updates
either online or by text message to share your day with people. I have
a little widget in the side column that you can check out that tells
you what I am doing. Don’t know if I’ll keep it, but I like being able
to send mini-updates, especially when I don’t really have enough to say
for a blog.

Your Most Important Role September 4th 2008
I’ve been getting some emails asking where Witches Weekly has gone.
Honestly there wasn’t much participation, so it had become less of a
priority. But I’ve decided to start it up again, and hopefully get
things rolling again. I may bring another person on board to help with
weekly questions if there are any volunteers.
This weeks question: “Where in your list of roles do you place your role of a pagan? By roles I mean, mother, brother, daughter, son, worker, democrat,
american, lover, caretaker, etc. We all have a lot of different roles
we play and usually they all fall into an order of importance. Is being
a “pagan” at the top, or is it somewhere in the middle?”
I’d say I am first and foremost a daughter/sister/lover/friend/etc.,
and I really don’t segregate those roles. I believe my second-most
important role would be pagan. The first roles never really change,
they are almost a part of the human condition, which is why I place
those first. Pagan being my second role influences any other role which
comes after it whether it be American, homemaker, crafter, etc. since
for me it is more of a lifestyle than just a religion.
