Linn, there was a rather toxic relationship that ended a number of years ago, and I found that it required a small ceremony to put it to rest. Fire is good. You may find that you need to keep these journals, but if there is stuff that really harks back to the bad guy then you might do well in a small pyre. Then bury the ashes and plant a pretty shrub over them. Or come up with something comparable. It really does help to see that fire and move forward.

Sinuses are on the rampage today. There is supposed to be weather moving in and I think the dairy (I've had some cottage cheese this week) needs to decrease.

Next week is the end of August and in the US we have a three day weekend for Labor Day. I'll probably take off Friday to make it a four day weekend and get to some of the jobs around the house that were put off when I was doing all of the moving-the-kid-to-college stuff. Is anyone doing anything special over the holiday? And for some of you, there may be early signs of fall. How is it looking in your area?
