There was sunshine during the day a little. Apparently, this means there will be a good harvest [other than fruit] in the new year.

Today was all about leaving behind the old and preparing for the new. I showered, using both a lovely spearmint shower gel I made and the new foot cleaner thingie that amyrayh got for me and shatterpath for Giftmas. It ws pretty funky. We also left out some food overnight for the spirits outside :: bread pudding, cat kibble, a piece of apple, and pieces of the 3 cheeses and 2 sausages I got for Giftmas from my mother.

I did manage to find a whisker today, too, which is taped into my 12 Wild Nights journal for this day. It was Gabe's whisker, but Elphie found it for me on the seat of the recliner that used to be amyrayh's dad's chair. I love finding them, but this one seemed more special, as it was the last one found in 2011.

I did a one card draw, using the Goddess Guidance Oracle Cards, with a question of "What will the new year hold?" Below is the info I got from the reading.

Sulis - Bodies of Water

Sulis' Message :: "Spend time near water, such as a lake, river, or the ocean to recharge your batteries."

Water and its curative effects will play in the new year for you. Make plans to spend more time by the water. Drink more water. Accept water's healing energy in your life.

I like that drawing, I think... *g*

Last night, I dreamed that I worked in some conglomeration of a hospital ER and an airline/airport. Yeah, I don't even, okay? Anyway, I wasn't a doctor, I know that, but I was either a nurse or an orderly of some sort. There were people lined up to get a specific flight, one that I was trying to get myself with some variation of employee discount and/or frequent flyer miles. I kept getting busy or distracted [does the difference really matter?], so I couldn't get my flight set up. Oh, and Kerry Weaver was in charge. I know, right? Anyway, so we were doing our work [and I think others from the ER-verse were in the dream, but only know of one for sure that was], and it just kept getting busier and busier, and later and later. At one point, John Carter came up to the counter and said that the flight was delayed and that they couldn't do anything further for the time being. Kerry went into her office/the lounge, and I followed her. This room looked like the office in Lorre's house, but about 2-3x bigger. Actually, she went into the bathroom first [which reminded me of the bathroom from the Witches Ball last year], then went into the office/lounge. While in the office/lounge, she was making a call, and I waited before telling her how much I needed to be on that flight but didn't think I'd get my ticket. She said not to worry, that she'd give me hers if it came down to that. The next thing I remember is that we were all sitting in the bleachers of a baseball diamond [it vacillated between being in a park and a school gymnasium], and they were telling us that the flight was canceled due to delays and overbooking, that they didn't know when the "replacement" flight would happen, and that the next flight out to the intended destination was in 16 hours via a different airline [a popular one now, but I can't remember the name atm]. I knew I couldn't make that flight because of my special circumstances [either employee benefits or airline-specific frequent flyer miles]. I was going to make calls to the people I was going to visit to say that the trip was off, then tell Kerry that I'd work whatever she wanted me to, when I woke up.

A number of things happened that I kept track of, but I won't be posting them here, for the most part. Those are things for me to contemplate down the line when July comes, as ways of divining how things may turn out that month.
