  • February 2 and Groundhogs

    February 1st and 2nd were once holidays for a goddess and Saint Brigid of divination and milk in ancestral history. Some of her animals helpers were groundhogs, badgers, and hedgehogs and this is why we predict the weather with groundhog divination on the second. Lighting a candle, making crosses, straw dolls, straw doll beds, and other traditions are good luck between February 1st, 2nd, and 3rd of the month. I found interesting documentaries from museums in Canada and Ireland last night online as well as photos. As a history minor at University it is interesting to me what old world traditions end up crossing over into modern day.

  • Camper Van Man

    Somehow knowing he likes RVs and camper vans makes him hotter. He could hangout in posh hotels 24/7 but instead loves to hangout with friends.

  • A Week

    Oh no A Discovery of Witches is only free on Amazon Prime for one more week.

  • The Shot 2

    At long last I got my third Covid booster shot today at Walgreens. Better late then never… Walgreens kept rescheduling me.

  • Top School Walls Of The Week

    Top wall art from the classroom’s I worked in as a teacher this week, and the Internet.

  • The Dream Crush

    I got refused a loan this week in a very odd way. I was sent a loan offer for an RV I have been dreaming of buying for years. When I called the loan company’s national network they said on the phone “Yes you are approved!” and other verifications. I drove to a neighboring town, and shopped all day for the RV setting up the paperwork. Then the paperwork transfers to a Richmond location to finalize, and the lady canceled all the paperwork and refused me the loan. My every dream is crushed the second I try to work with Virginia people to complete it. This is not the one time this activity has occurred. This has been every project since my family convinced me to move to Virginia to live. One of the reasons I am trying to get an RV is to leave this bad Virginia attitude on the weekends as much as possible. I used to rent hotels out of town on paydays, but the pandemic has destroyed much of the hotel industry. My life is pretty much instantly better the second I leave Virginia, and so I know the social world of Virginia is central to the issue.

  • Shots Today

    I got a shot today at Walgreens. Their free app now has a “get Covid vaccine and flu shots” button for appointments. I got painfully sick with Covid over Christmas break, and do NOT want to deal with that again.

  • Baby New Year Gave Me Covid

    It seems Baby New Year Gave Me Omicron Covid this year for 2022. I was double vaccinated, and using hand sanitizer. Unfortunately I got very sick coughing and sneezing with crushing fatigue after I went to a few New Year’s Eve parties. Not only could I not do my fitness New Years Resolutions, I could hardly walk to the bathroom. Hopefully I will be able to return to activity after Monday. Between ice storms and Omicron 2022 has so far sucked for me.

  • Snow Day in the East

    It is a snow day in the east as 10 inch snow hits some areas. Snow ⛄️ and ❄️ ice is all around and the schools were canceled. So much for back to normal in 2022.

  • Good New Year 2022

    Somehow I managed to meet up with nice people and have a happy New Year’s Eve Night. Perhaps the change to 2022 is a lucky charm after all.
