Category: Magic Diary

As the work day went, I thought hard all day about which individual desire in the June Shoal Sigil to spin out and turn into a dedicated sigil of its own. The effort proved fruitless as of the ten component desires, four are fulfilled nearly every day anyway and the other six are not as…

In terms of active magic, there were none today. In terms of personal responsibility, I can see where I have adapted to the influences of the time management seal, and my personal historical inertia is attempting to assert itself and negate the seal. I’m now at a point with the seal where I have to…

One of the consequences to yesterday’s unexpected obligation fulfillment wasn’t completely processed by my body until this morning. Fortunately, I had started getting up a little earlier for work to give myself time for Murphy’s Law a few extra things before leaving for work so I was able to get to work on time despite…

Doing nothing yesterday paid off as I was able to jump into the schedule first thing this morning. What should have been a pleasant stop for an errand became uncomfortable as I identified another of my shortcomings that I may need help settling. It was my hope to have a third seal to add to…

I started the day with the full intention of completing So Many Things. In the end, the only thing that was completed was the reminder that the human body can only go so far without a break without breaking. As my day came to a halt, I had a random taste on my tongue. Well,…

I had forgotten all about the SATOR square seal today until my allotted time came for a Very Frustrating Board Meeting. A particular board member just doesn’t like me (gosh darnit) and I have often exited previous meetings fearing for my job.

On the one hand, it’s the annual regular slowdown as the usual instigators have left town to visit their families, so of course things have calmed down at work. On the other hand, management is changing hands and databases are being frozen in preparation for transfer as the cataloging of community assets is digging out…

I go through all that trouble to make straight lines and what happens? I’m late for work. I commute quite the distance, though, so I didn’t get in trouble about it. What was interesting was that why I was late for work was very much visible and obvious. It’s a thing I could make time for, but…
