Spooks and Scares

[vintagewitch]

Went running again today. I think the trick to not triggering my eating disorder brain with exercise is to do it before much of that can really kick in. And also not planning when I'll exercise - just letting it be a "huh, yeah, I'm going running this morning" kind of thing.

Struggled a lot with perfectionism again today, but my partner talked me through the worst of it. 

Season of spooks and scares means I'm entering my busy season as a witch/tarot reader. If I get 4 people to sign up for my class by Wednesday,I'm teaching a 6 week tarot class. I also just agreed to/scheduled a 4 part series on elemental magic at a different witchy shop in town. I have at least one tarot party scheduled, where I show up and read at someone's halloween event. Soon I'll be launching the sign up for my year-long Coven Study course. I'm hoping that I'm able to get at least 3 people signed up for it this time - though I will have the space for up to 13. I know, I'm slowly transforming into Professor McGonagall.

A big release for work stuff is happening on Monday, and I spent today getting the final touches done and ready for that.  It's my first time really working in publishing and I am super pleased with the results. I just need a few answers from some other folks first, and then I'll have everything ready to go. I've been working on this project for over a year and I'm SO excited that it's going to finally be released on Monday!

(And no, I won't be linking to it here - I kinda want to keep this more private/anonymous)

So all in all, career is boppin'. And yes, I am planning on resting - My partner and I are planning a weekend away in November, maybe late October. Hopefully by then my money situation will have turned around a bit. I know I've got to save most of what I make right now, as well as working towards paying off my debt. I'm hoping that things don't just drop off dramatically this winter, but I need to be prepared for that if it does happen.

In other news, I'm going to RenFest for the first time in YEARS on Sunday. I'm super pumped, it's gonna be a hell of a good time. A has never been, so I'm excited to see what xe thinks about it. It's such a nostalgia thing for me. I hecking love RenFest.

Anyway, long day tomorrow so I'm going to sign off for now. Ta ta, dears.

Congrats on the upcoming publication! That is very exciting. I'm glad things are going well for you work wise. Tis definitely the busy season for professional witches. :)

Hope you enjoy the RenFest! It's been ages since I've been to a proper summer/fall one. They have a winter one indoors at the local fairgrounds that I've been too and it's a lot of fun, but not quite the same as the outdoors ones.
