witchscauldronJason, Goddess love him, neglected to tell me that when we were at his parents this weekend he would be helping his stepfather build a new garage this weekend. Thinking that I would be able to go out, do stuff with J, visit his friends, or whatever, I didn't pack any of my drawing stuff, or my unfinished BoS, or any work at all. If he did tell me, I wasn't listening, I guess, or he told so many other people he just figured he'd already told me. That sometimes happens.
Jason, of course, was building a garage regardless of whether he told me he was or not. I was bored out of my mind for the weekend.
Oh sure - I went to the market in the morning on Saturday, bought some nice gourds. But I was also watching an 8 year old, the daughter of one of the men helping Ernie with his garage. Could have been worse, but wasn't ideal. I certainly didn't get to spend the time at the pagan shoppe that I wanted to.
Jason's aunt was pretty well all over the house. She's nice, but you couldn't do anything to help, or anything. And all weekend, somehow the men were more important. So what if they're building a damn garage and it's cold and wet. I feel bad for them that the weather isn't cooperating, but I didn't force them to build this weekend. I also do NOT exist to serve them drinks, feed them first so I can eat what they leave me, and clean up after them when they're done! That sort of subservient bullshit REALLY pisses me off. Just because someone's got a penis and a hammer doesn't mean I'm gonna make him coffee.
To be fair, the guys out in the yard didn't ask anything of me or anyone else - the whole idea of "helping the boys" came entirely from Jason's aunt. From another woman - sometimes I am more left-wing and women's rights oriented than I think I am. Differences in age and era, I guess.
That being said, it wasn't a total loss for a weekend. Dinner was excellent. The wind was singing to me, the spirits were very restless, and I had an excellent, if not cold, meditation with the trees in the yard. I also took a million pictures - I'll post them when I download them off the camera. The crows would come out in the morning and caw until I did something, or acknowledged them, and then took off. The leaves were gorgeous.
So we came home today - the cats had..well, messed all over the floor. I apparently can't leave them alone longer than an afternoon without them going apeshit. *sighs* Bleah. Got to mop the floor. I did some more cleaning, unpacked, and proceeded to decorate the house for Hallowe'en. I took some pictures of that, too, and my very lovely autumn altars. Again, I'll post it all somewhere when I get the pictures downloaded.
Anyone else notice the rest of the world is losing the apostrophe in Hallowe'en? It bugs me. My teachers used to give me hell in public school for forgetting that little thing...but it's ok now that Walmart and the rest of the world don't use it. Meh. It might be the evolution of the English language, but it still bugs me. :p
So there. Turkey weekend is over, and I have some nice things out of it. I'm now switching my focus to Saturday coming - we're going to the big Asian mall in Markham for a day-trip! Woo! :D I am also considering heading to Smiths Falls for Hallowe'en to be with my best friend, and maybe have a dumb supper or something. I'm done rambling now. Whee! Enjoy the Blood Moon as it waxes, and the thinning of the Veil as it comes...
