The last DoMagick challenge I participated in triggered a series of events that led to me having a ten-thousand dollar war-chest at one point (one of last year’s “Low Probability” sigiled desires even to the dollar amount) and then spending that war-chest to obtain and furnish an apartment for my daughter and me in secret…

The early start meant skipping yoga. But it will take a disaster to make me skip my coffee. Drawing the shoal sigil in the air with the full coffee mug requires attention and wakefulness so not to spill a drop. Life hack: Use your weaknesses to draw out your strengths. By the time I had…

Last night I came home from work too damn late than I should have. I thought the carousel discourse in the closed door meetings would be the high point of the day. I keep forgetting that no plan ever survives contact with the public. I came home, drew the shoal sigil over my pillow for…

Coffee. Yoga. Looked at the lottery ticket I had bought last week and had forgotten about almost immediately.  Resolved to check the ticket at lunch and stuck it in my pocket. Some days, if I don’t make my own luck, I have no luck at all.

More than my balance was upset yesterday at work, and after holding my tongue about the increasingly thickening and darkening atmosphere for longer than I could tolerate, I finally told one of my superiors about my concerns. I only meant to address the topics that were “safe” to talk about. Pull one thread and unravel…

Still sick, day two. Coffee. Yoga. Contemplation of certain life choices. Not enough to stop me from going to work, though. The contradictory signals from my superiors, my peers, and my subordinates kept me confused all day long. I was braced for someone to tap me on the shoulder at any time to escort me off the…

I’m going to need a weekend to recover from my weekend. I woke early despite ensuring all clocks and noise makers were deactivated. The shenanigans from the day prior were a success. “Good cheer”, indeed! But as I entered the bend into the final week of June, and with it, the final challenge, I felt…

It is good that I keep my alarm clock out of literal arm’s reach at night. I think I would have put an unplanned ventilation port in the wall otherwise. Why. The Hell. Did I plan to get up before dawn on a Saturday? As I move the shopping and action list off the alarm clock…

Friday came and went without anything spectacular happening, for good or for ill. I had a big personal project coming up the next day and my thoughts were out of sync with the calendar because of it. Morning coffee and yoga still carried the sigil’s momentum for the day. I finally accepted that the (very)…

Before the shoal sigil, coffee, and yoga, the first thing I did was greet the first decan of Cancer. It has now been six months since my daughter and I moved out of a bad situation into a then unknown situation. It’s been good, despite the ups and downs, it’s been very good.
