The Adventures of Jane, Marley and Cat

“A shift, a shift, my kindgdom for a shift!” Nah, Ol’ King Richard didn’t have it quite right, although that particular non-Shakesperean sentiment sums up where I am. Just feeling kinda… I don’t know… not quite right. I hate to use words like “depressed” or “out of my body” because those are way too precise for what I am feeling. I think the best term would be “limbo” although the Catholics don’t believe in that anymore.

So, I turned to my woo sources. Tonight is the Full Moon. Well, I don’t think I’m turning into a Werewolf, so that doesn’t quite explain it. However, it is a great time to make those intentions to R E L E A S E. I will be intentending to release this “something”, this “je ne sais quoi” that has been tagging me for a few days.

Another woo source says this about where we are:

We are teetering on the very threshold of a new phase…a new phase of forward movement, but most importantly, of rapid and magical manifestation. The past few weeks we were completing a phase of arriving in our new spaces. This involved much change, arriving in the new, re-arranging and organizing, and a very new nesting as well.

During this last phase much arrived for us indeed, and mostly relating to our new dimensional and energetic spaces. But now, as of June 1st, we will once again experience some awesome and incredible energies that will bring to us the manifestations of our dreams.

Yes, I could surely use some dream manifestation! I could use my house showing up. I could use my back healing. I could use some greater charity for certain folk.

I don’t know what’s coming… but something is. I am mailing in my Master’s Thesis, and finishing up my classes. Then I begin on my Doctoral dissertation. Can you see that this summer is going to turn out to be amazing?

Oh, and my new computer should be ready by Monday! That means I will have a smokin’ hot computer at home as well as at work. That was a great manifestation on my part, wasn’t it?

See, I guess the funk will wear off in time. In the meanwhile, there is chocolate and a warm summer day.

OK, so Wicked was amazing. Denver is a pretty cool city. And that is the good news.

My back is out… I’ve been in bed for two days on a drug cocktail I can’t even remember. I don’t make a good pill user. It makes me cranky, loopy, and slightly depressed.

I can’t find any new houses for rent in the price range designated by husbando.

I feel rather out of sorts and like huge shifts are coming. That pre-shift period is always a little strange.

So, there you have it. It’s Wednesday and I have no idea what is going on. I hate that.

I am continually amazed at the designs for homes that people come up with.  Giant master bathrooms with no shower.  Big rooms with no windows.  Wallpaper that should have been taken down two decades ago.

Yesterday I walked into a home they want to rent for $1300 a month.  People, just because you have new carpet and fresh paint doesn’t mean the house shouldn’t have been demolished 15 years ago.  It is butt-scary.  And people, when your cats pee on the carpet and then you shut the house up for weeks, the stench doesn’t really say “rent me”.  Just a tip.

There is some good news in all this.  All this wandering around Utah County has forced me to learn how to use the Navigation system on my car.  When I input the address (which is tricky for Utah addresses) a friendly lady tells me where to turn. With only one minor exception I have been able to drive right to the house.

For those of you who fell in love with the house pictures I posted earlier this week, let me just say that the owners isn’t terrifically motivated to rent.  He wanted a $10,000 deposit.  That is like first and last month’s rent and about 8 months inbetween.   As much as I loved the house and could totally see us there, well, money doesn’t grow on my trees (I don’t have any).

I know I’ll find something suitable soon.  Suitable is defined as a) enough bedrooms  b) enough bathrooms  c) relatively safe neighborhood d) fairly close to freeway access (i.e. not Eagle Mountain which is 25 minutes from the freeway through Lehi) and e) something Brent feels we can afford.  I am using the “Law of Attraction” here, so I will report on how it is working.

It is an exhausting process… perhaps more than moving itself.  However, I have Monday to begin the official packing process.
