Today is 10th Sestia, 13AS...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."

Life in The Desert

~It is presently 83° and 22% humidity. That's good news for our local fire fighters.

Yesterday the smoke from the Powerhouse Fire was really bad. I felt like I had a mild sinus infection. So did Le-Le. Plus our eyes stung and were full of grit. Everybody was sneezing. I could hear lil kitty sneezes all over the house.

Worst of all was my post-nasal drip, which combined phlegm with carbonized particulate matter in my guts. That was like a mild stomach flu. Yum.

It's a bit better today as the thing is now 40% contained, but I'm still staying inside during the day. This is a no-bullshit health issue.

Stay tuned...
