A Simple Breakfast (48/366)

Today's breakfast: two jumbo eggs scrambled and cooked in the microwave, with rye toast. Such an exciting life.

Candlelit Chalice (47/366)

Last night we held a Full Moon Group ritual. This is the chalice on the altar, filled with apple juice, with candlelight shining through it. (There are fingerprints on the glass because this is a "recreation" shot, taken after the ritual was concluded; the chalice had been handled by several people in the course of drinking the original round of juice and I hadn't wiped it down for this shot.)

Terri and Me at the Pancake House (46/366)

Taken from the reflection in the windows. Aren't those overhead lights bright? (The red glints showing through the image are car lights outside.)

So... is anyone actually viewing this blog?

Just curious if anyone is even looking at the pictures I post...

Sun on the Rooftops (45/366)

A cold and sunny afternoon.

ToS Paperwork (44/366)

Paperwork on my desk related to my latest job, which happens to be "ToS" reprints. The printed sheet is my standard docket and outlines the steps in producing a finished page. The handwritten sheet is largely a time log from benchmark tests I did to establish how long it takes me to do a typical page on this project.

Yes, I scrawl and scribble, especially when I expect that nobody else will be seeing my notes.

Mina at the Vet (43/366)

We took Mina to the vet this afternoon because her right eye has been leaking clear fluid since Saturday morning. The vet did a thorough exam and was left scratching his head. Quote: "There is NOTHING wrong with this cat!"

So no explanation for the tears and the occasional sneezes, except for the possibility that our other cat, Emmie, clocked Mina in the eye with a paw while they were play fighting. We've been instructed to see how she is on Thursday or Friday; the vet thinks that by then the situation will have cleared up on its own. If not, we're to bring her back in.

By the way, all those little squeeze bottles to the left of the sink? Different kinds of disinfectant. Whoa.

Waiting for the Bus (42/366)

Taken while waiting for the bus at the corner of River Avenue and Osborne Street, after coming from the Safeway listed on the sign. Yes, it is as cold and bleak as it looks.

Miniature God and Goddess (41/366)

These two little torsos, originally drawer pulls, sit next to my mother's clock on the living room book shelf. I sometimes use them as God and Goddess representations during ritual. I don't remember where I got the Goddess necklace that sits beside them. The keys to the left of them were originally made for my mother's old apartment, which of course ceased to be an issue after she died. I intend to use them in a spell at some point in the future.

Mom's Clock (40/366)

A closeup of my mother's clock, which used to sit on the entertainment unit in her living room when she was alive, and which now sits on the bookshelf next to the couch in our own living room.

Winter Sky and Fruit (39/366)

Replacing the clock photo I posted earlier... a tree beside a house on Hugo Street between Jessie Avenue and Corydon Avenue. I have no idea what kind of tree it is, but the fruit has clung to it tenaciously all winter.

Crown of Leaves (38/366)

Detail of a faux ivy chaplet leaning over the top of a box in our bedroom. It was made for a Beltane ritual a couple of years ago and was worn by me in my role as the God. The green cord has come askew, but was originally wound around the chaplet and trailed down the back in two loops.

Isis, Lady of Healing (37/366)

An altar I've set up in my studio with a statue representing Isis, Lady of Healing, and a candle lit for the niece of one of my covenmates, who is only ten months old and is in hospital, throwing up and unable to drink.

Light and Leaves in Cafe 22

A frosted light and fake greenery on the ceiling of Cafe 22, the restaurant just up Corydon from me that's associated with the 222-2222 pizza delivery service. It's a surprisingly upscale venue for a place managed by a company that peddles such cheap pizzas.

Dedication Altar (35/366)

The altar for our Wiccan worship group's dedication rite.

Terek and Dice (34/366)

My new AD&D character and some of the dice that make his life... interesting.

The Golden Boy (33.2/366)

My main shot for today: the Golden Boy on top of the Manitoba Legislative Building, taken through the window of a moving bus. This shot was taken at about 1:30 pm.

Bonus Shot: Apartments Behind Starbucks (33.1/366)

The apartments behind Starbucks at the head of our street, as George and I were heading off to a funeral at 9 am.

Southern Studio Bookshelf (32/366)

Some books on the soutern bookshelf in the studio. A sinus infection seems to be coming on and I didn't have the energy to get out and find a more interesting shot today.

Emmie at Sunset (31/366)

Emmie at sunset. Why she chose to wash her face in front of the living room window, I have no idea.
