Daylight

Day 75 of Captivity.

(I'm not really counting the days; I just recalculate them periodically.)

I had to work on Saturday, but while I was gone Dad called and talked to Mom. He thinks she may be able to go back in the house sometime this week. I refuse to be happy about this: he's thought that once before and it fell through.

Daylight Savings time went into effect today (earlier than usual), and so it's still daylight outside. The sun is going down, to be sure, but it's still quite light. I think I am going to like this, but for now it's just messing with my body-clock. I have a long list of things I need to get done tonight, but I can't seem to focus on anything. I'm hoping that after dinner I'll be able to harness the spinning wheels of my mind.

Dinner, by the way, is roast chicken with roasted winter veggies. The veggies in this case will be butternut squash and potatoes, but that varies from meal to meal. I like to add onions because I love me some roasted onion, but I had so much butternut squash there didn't seem to be a point. The veggies roast in the pan below the chicken and so get basted with the drippings. So good! I'm also going to boil up some green beans, mostly because I forgot to put the bag in the freezer when I got home from the store this afternoon, and they are no good when they semi-thaw and then re-freeze.

The Winter Court play-by-post game ended last night. I feel sorry for the players, who are probably wondering what to do with their free time now. It was an amazing game, with some stunning role-play. For all the time I spent reading it I don't think I've covered more than a quarter of it--I'm hoping that it's left up for a good long time so that I can read more.

You are The High Priestess

Science, Wisdom, Knowledge, Education.

The High Priestess is the card of knowledge, instinctual, supernatural, secret knowledge. She holds scrolls of arcane information that she might, or might not reveal to you. The moon crown on her head as well as the crescent by her foot indicates her willingness to illuminate what you otherwise might not see, reveal the secrets you need to know. The High Priestess is also associated with the moon however and can also indicate change or fluxuation, particularily when it comes to your moods.
