I am surprisingly chipper.

I don't think it's suspicious, considering I'm lounging in bed, listening to KUEC, my toesies getting roastie under my electric blanket, sipping warm mulled wine with honey and writing this post. There is a Jazz cat curled up near my feet, happily snoozing.

Chezzie and Polar Bear, it took me almost a week, but I finished the bottle! Pretty sure this doesn't make me a lush...

I had a bout of Sad yesterday, stemming from a heartwarming Christmas video from one of the children's hospitals we are now networked to. Polar Bear, who is awesome, pointed out that being Sad over a loss of innocence can be soothed by the wedding! After all, I'm marrying True Blue and she has Christmas Magic. She has all the Magic. By marrying her, I'm reconnecting to all the Magic I lost when Wolf died. I'm breaking free of being a Widow and becoming a Woman In Truth. Isn't that exciting? I'm excited!

I need to write this ritual up and figure out my vows. Something about transforming the grief and pain of the past into positive growth. Hrm.

In Trip Planning, I've decided to keep our rambling to the South of England. Definitely a day at Avebury and a day at Glastonbury. I'm very curious about the Tor and the Well. I know more about Glastonbury thanks to Fire Sword, a very nice romantic fantasy with loads of Celtic myth and magic without a lot of Camelot NONSENSE. (I have issues with Camelot and King Arthur and all that. I lived through a love triangle, it SUCKS DONKEY BALLS, even with the X-Men angles. Always had a soft spot for Wolverine.) I want to walk through as many stone circles as I can and see if I can feel the power.

I think I'll play video games.
