I worked from home today, so I'm wearing pajamas and my favorite purple and grey crocheted sweater. And my engagement ring, of course:
I don't think I officially announced our engagement on the blog, because neither of us have been very gushy about it, and due to him being in grad school we've decided a longer engagement is probably necessary. Still, I'm really excited to be marrying my best friend (so cliche, I know!), and almost just as excited to scandalize my family by bucking all the patriarchal and otherwise creepy traditions usually included in the marriage celebration.

Reading...
I'm about halfway through the Wool Omnibus Edition by Hugh Howey, which was recommended to me by my good friend Annie. It's a decent enough book, but I find that while some parts are great (especially part 1), it often isn't engaging enough to hold my interest (like pretty much all of part 3). I definitely find myself opening it up on my Kindle some nights and immediately wanting to switch to another book.
I've also been moseying my way through The Magical Household: Spells and Rituals for the Home by Scott Cunningham & David B. Harrington. Some of it the information presented has been helpful to my practice, so it's been good to page through it now and again, but it's a bit dry. Less discussion, and more like: "...and to weave this type of magick in your home, you could do this, or this, or this..."
Crafting...
I started a butterfly cross-stitch ages ago, but truth be told... I haven't done anything with it in months.
Stressing about...
Work. Once again I have a lot on my plate, and all of those things are priority items that I can't shelve, and all of them are due within the next few weeks. HALP. I'm starting to feel a bit like Dean here.
Planning...
Tomorrow I'm going to a shamanic journey class that a friend is holding at his house. I'm still not sure that shamanic-style journeying is right for me, but I find that the classes help me practice things like my visualization skills on the astral plain, and learning how to distinguish ally from non-ally from product-of-my-imagination.
Laughing at...
This plant my friend and I saw at a local park (it has an indoor conservatory for tropical plants). It's called elephant ears. The leaves are bigger than me!
Pumped about...
