Contemplative Sunday

 

Early Sunday morning is best when greeted over tea and sweets. It helps with the thinking process. And, just in general, chocolate helps with everything.

As of yesterday, the Sun is officially out of Scorpio sign. Bye bye, Scorpio, see you next year!

It was one intense Scorpio season! I have gained some wisdom and new understanding, I have taken some risks (even though I don’t know yet it that’ll pay off or backfire), and I have, literally,  gained some new possessions.

First, my beautiful butterfly tattoo (scroll two posts down to see the picture). It’s mostly healed and looking marvelous. I have brought home a few other things from the tattoo shop that day too – I was crying so much that they gave me flowers to bring home. (OK, not really, I wasn’t crying at all – nothing compares to unmedicated labor pains, it was bearable, and the tattoo artist was a Scorpio herself, so we had a nice chat.)  I think those bearded tattoo dudes just liked me and gave me flowers. 🙂

 

 

My living room is full of other flowers too, from my birthday. And I have acquired more possessions also.

 

 

 

Yes, I’m boring, I want kitchen appliances for my birthday, so I got this latte machine from the kid (to replace the one that we killed a year ago), a fancy food processor (instead of the one that simply died worn out working so hard) and a few other kitchen things. I did also get the usual girly stuff, perfume and make up. The most exciting one is a financial “contribution” towards my next tattoo (this time in less obvious places). 🙂 Next year, for sure!

But for now, spicy cranberry relish is simmering on the stove, it’s got persimmons, and orange zest, and bourbon and fresh ginger – the aroma is floating in the air… And so are the thoughts…

 

 

My new birthday year has just started, so many wishes, wondering which ones will come true…
