Just Piddles....

Since the current Moon is in Cancer I decided to nurture myself a little, before it heads into blazing Leo tomorrow night. A Cancer Moon is a great time to give yourself a little TLC, and Lord knows in this world we sure need it!

Since I took full advantage of the early-in-the-week Gemini phase of the Moon to get myself going on the 2 projects I had for Ditzy Dora's class, I decided to reward myself by baking a pan of brownies last night and cruising the internet for Harry Potter news. (DVD of GOF in stores March 7th, JK is writing book 7 and casting for OOP has already begun). I even let the girls lick the batter off the beaters...(normally reserved for me)...but I did get the bowl and the spatula.

Today I went to a Yoga class with my old instructor. She moved into a new space and it was cozy and warmer than the old room we used to be in. I took care of The Old Girl (my car) on the way home. She had a right rear blinker out, and I figured she needed a little nurturing too. It's not her fault she's a Gastrointestinal Motor's Car.

The last stop before home was at Moti Mahal for a major Indian Food lunchtime pig-out. Mm-mm-mmm! I got home, lit candles and incense, changed into some warm, cozy sweats and snuggled inside the "Magic Cape"....just me, some incense, a nice cup of tea and the last of the brownies.

(The "Magic Cape" is a large, bright red wooly cape that I use instead of a sweater, to wrap around myself when I'm in need of a little extra warmth. I used to wrap my arms around the kids, and tuck them inside it when they were little and not feeling well. I'd give them a little Tylenol and hold them near me. I told them it was a "Magic Cape" and would make them feel better. It always did...but that's what hugs and love and a little Tylenol will do...anyway, the name stuck...and now it's forever the "Magic Cape").

So, before the kids tumble off the bus, I'm going to finish my tea and take a cat nap....and take advantage of the last little bit of this Cancer Moon.
