Today is 30th Sestia, 12AS...a Bredsday

"Bredsday is The Fifth Day. Bride is both an ancient Celtic Goddess and a Catholic Saint. She is a Triple Goddess and a Keeper of The Eternal Flame. Poetry is sacred to Her. Saint Brigid’s Day falls on Imbolc, also a 'fire festival'. She is chosen so that we may 'meditate upon The Light, upon The Flame'. She is also connected to Her Celtic Sister Goddess Epona, who comes the next day and Bride's Light can serve as Epona's guide."

"The Fifth Day is not a religious holiday per se, but rather meant to be a day of relaxation and reflection."

~Moved some boxes into the storage space today with JR. He did most of the work, truth be told. And yet I am utterly wrung out tonight. Two days of running around seriously kicked my ass. *sigh*

The first of the Big Moves is tomorrow, shifting pretty much everything that goes into the storage space with a rental truck, JR and his sister doing the heavy lifting. I'm the driver, so I need to fuckin' chill today. If I don't I'll be in trouble.

Need to do laundry today as well as the drier is going into the storage space. The new joint needs a gas drier. And we also need to do some 'inside work', minor packing and such.

JR is a great motivator and I gotta chill him when he comes over this morning. He still does not quite understand how easily I get fried. Can't blame him. I seem okay most of the time and even I forget until I hit a wall.

'In Other News'...I got my full Happy Pill scrip. Yay for Mental Health!

Calendric Overlap

~This is largely a note to myself regarding the periodic overlap of the weekly structure of the Matriarchal and Gregorian Calendars. Some times they are alined and some times opposed. At some point I'll track and record the specifics of that patten. But for now, I''ll simply note that it happens, as it is in these five days.

Taraday/Friday [last day of the 'work week']

Bastday/Saturday [first day of the weekend]

Bredsday/Sunday [second day of the weekend/'day of rest']

Eponaday/Monday [first day of the 'work week']

Oshunday/Tuesday [second day of the 'work week']

Today is in the middle of the overlap, Bredsday/Sunday, hence this post.

~Today we did prep for the first Big Move by taking the railing off of the front of the porch and pulling up the edging stones on the yard. That way I can back the truck right up to the porch and use it as a loading dock. JR did all that of course. He was chompin' at the bit and Goddess Knows I wasn't gonna waste all that energy.

There was also clearing of trash [the garbage can is packed] and laundry. I just got up a little while ago as Le-Le finished her loads and I just put the first of mine in. I got like three or four, so no worries.

I do feel better this evening than I did last night. Today was a more or less easy day for me and I needed that. Gonna be driving a strange truck tomorrow, with a full load and passengers. I need to have my shit together.

All in all, this is proving to be far less painful than I had feared. I'm sure it's still going to be stressful, but moving under even the best of circumstances is so. It's just that now I know we'll survive it. *grin*
