Catching Up

My friend Susan, and fellow community resident here at the lofts, gave me this beautiful birds nest with glass berries as a Christmas present. Actually Hanukah, even though Hanukah is now over. I couldn't find my freaking menorah this year, and I couldn't find a box of candles in Berkeley. And now I can't find my box of Christmas lights and ornaments! I wonder if the Goddess is just suggesting I skip it all this year, especially since I have like NO money.

Regardless, I love gifts like this, that are put together with love and care. It's currently got the place of honor on the mantle of my faux fireplace in the hallway, where all my other little trinkets are — the Día de los Muertos black sugar skulls, the painted tin corazón, my collection of crystals, some shells and feathers...

Lordess help me... I currently am listening to, and liking, a Céline Dion tune. I'm appalled.
