It's been a very long while since I've updated my journal (or anything else) on DA.  So, here's a brief look at what's happened in my life recently.

Got into my first car accident last Tuesday (9-22-09).  It wasn't my fault and the car I was driving was totaled.  It was the white station wagon.  The funny thing is, it refuses to quit running.  Even though only 3 of the doors work (and that's if you're strong enough to open them), the car itself still runs.  We have since bought a "new" car ('90 something Ford Explorer) which of course, comes with it's own set of problems.  I have not yet been paid for my pain and suffering from the accident and I don't know how much to expect from that either.  I am suffering from whiplash, although it is getting better a little every day.  I can turn my head without a ton of pain.  I also learned that I do have an allergy to a medication.  It's a muscle relaxant and it causes me to break out into hives (which burn when they get wet).

On another note, I have started a new business venture that pays me everytime someone sets up a credit card terminal and uses it as well.  I also get paid a percentage of their cash advances.  I do no sales, just generate leads.  All I'm waiting on is the first e-mail so i can get myself set up as my first client.  Well, that's all the time I have to write for now.  Have to go see chiro about getting my neck adjusted again and then see where the rest of the day takes me.

This is of a very Pagan feel, so if you don't like this sort of thing, stop reading now.



Ok.  I gave warning, so here goes.

After getting my husband to concede that the new Starfire sword is indeed mine, he taught me how to thoroughly connect with it and how to understand what it wants.  In doing so, I was given a lot of energy (it's almost 2 am now).  So, after he fell asleep, I discover I really can't sleep at all.  So I get up to take a bath.  No big.  As I get finished with my bath my brain made an odd connection between two religious trinities (Christian and Pagan).  Here's how they work and why the order doesn't get switched:

Father for the Maiden
Son for the Mother
Ghost for the Crone

It made far too much sense for me to leave it alone so I went and did a little research to see what other connections I could make.  Guess what.  I made more.

While I was working tonight a customer came in and we started talking about Khemeticism (Egyptian Path).  He referred to the Egyptian pantheon while I attempted to figure out the Celtic equivalent.  (This is relevant, I promise.)  Well, I decided to do a little bit more research on my two deities, Manannan and Brigid.  Manannan does the same thing that Anubis does, and Brigid overlaps a lot with Isis.  No big deal right?  Wrong.  I have friends who are a Priestess and Priest of the two.  I thought it was interesting that I got along with both of them fairly well.  The difficulties I had with one mirrored my difficulties with the deity that corresponded closest to them.  It's no wonder we had these problems.  Of course, people wonder how he puts up with her sometimes, but I don't.  They balance each other, very well.  I can only hope that my husband and I work the same way (with a few tweaks on my part).    
Thanks for reading.

Please visit my SmugMug site to purchase my photos.  If the photo is not available there, please e-mail me and I will see what we can do to work it out.

In other news, my husband is in between jobs right now.  He has been applying like a mad man in quite a few places.  So far, half of the turned in applications have gotten call backs.  That is phenomenal, considering he's only been out of work for a week.  Our tax return couldn't have come at a better time.  Our rent for March will be paid in full early.  And I will possibly be getting my certification in photography paid off in full.  But we'll see how quickly things pick up for us.
