witchscauldronThe smell of fresh rain on the earth permiates my house right now. I love it - something unique to spring. It's a little chill today, but I don't mind having the windows open - it helps with the cleaning.
My house disgusts me sometimes. I know I'm obsessive about it, but the cats are all shedding, the kitten is doing his best to wreak urine-based havoc on the furniture and walls, and I just get so tired of trying to keep up with them. But there's a fresh floor (yay Ovyvim!), everything's dusted and refreshed and washed, and I don't feel so bad about it right now.
Next, I will probably give myself a cleansing, and then cleanse the apartment. Cleansing is like spiritual cleaning - something I like to do at least once a month. Gets rid of icky energy left over from arguments, fights, bad moods, failed loaves of bread, anger, and the like. When the apartment is clean and cleansed, I can feel a major difference. It makes the house welcoming to come into, a place where you want to have a cup of tea and a conversation.
After I clean and cleanse (an all-day event, really), I will center the house again. It's the same as centering yourself, but instead you are drawing fresh energy up through the house's physical center, to rebalance it and replace the energy you just cleansed away. I always see this as creating a new center beam and pillar from the house's basement to the ceiling.
Mrrf. Wasn't planning on doing all of this today, but I don't mind. It needs it, if I'm doing it.
So the weekend went very well, all in all. Sunday I went to Mass with Jeff. Father Stan sang the Mass - he has an amazing voice, and it was beautiful to watch. The Bishop (he's new to Peterborough) talked about Mary Magdalen, of all things, which was very cool. I accidentally ended up baptized on one arm, where some holy water hit me - but most of it ended up jumping over top of me, and smacking Jeff in the face. Father Stan is truly a warrior of Christ - he was swinging the asperger like it was a mace. He also yelled at the congregation for not replying strongly enough, and scolded the people who only come to church at Easter and Christmas. I was thoroughly amused. Maybe next time I will be able to restrain my sense of amusement better.
I was rather disappointed with Spring in March, for Ostara, so I took Sunday to celebrate Spring. It was about 70 degrees, bright and sunny, and totally worth it. Jeff and I walked Peg after Mass, and I think I got a bit toasty out in the sun. I came home and baked a huge ham in a pineapple glaze, and we had a good dinner. I coloured some eggs with Jeff, too. The cats kept stealing the sponges and getting dye all over the floor. >_< The guys played on the Xbox, and I cooked, and it was a lovely day. Yeah, that's about it. I found myself getting very quiet towards the end of the day, very melancholy again. I can't for the life of me figure out where the pleasure I had in the morning vanished to.
OK...that's it for another day. I'm off to start cleansing, so I have enough time to make dinner. TTYL.
