In about a week I will have my new computer. I purchased a Lenovo off of Amazon. I got to see this model, touch it, play around with it at Best Buy and was pretty impressed. I liked the keys and the mouse which were two of my biggest issues with the Vizio (the biggest issue of course being that it liked to shut off for no fucking reason). I'm already tentatively calling it Lenny but we'll see what kind of personality shows up when it arrives. It's a 15.6" screen which is pretty much run of the mill and it was under $400. I almost purchased a really neat Acer at the Spokane Valley Walmart the other night but it was the display and I just didn't reel right about it. So instead I went with this other route. I really hope that this Lenovo and I can get along and be friends for a really long time.
In other news, I attended the IEPG's Wiccan Spirituality Circle on Saturday night and enjoyed it immensely. We talked about history and about the Wiccan Creed. It had a nice energy and also coffee and apple cider. It was awesome. Our homework for the Lunar Cycle is to develop personal creeds for ourselves that feature our belief systems/feelings about how we operate within the world. For me personally, I'm a bit eclectic when it comes to spirituality. I lean toward Buddhist Philosophy, Heathenry, and Witchery. I view spells as prayers to the universe and I think that people do better emotionally, physically, and spiritually when we connect to the earth and respect it as a living entity. These are some of the things I'm going to work out in my Creed. I might share it here. I'm thinking it will be in poem form, or light prose. We read the Desiderata at the Circle and it spoke to all of us very strongly.
In other, other news I accomplished two things today: I helped my father program his new universal remote and I changed the bulb in my headlight. It's not much, but small accomplishments are all I have right now. Both cars have fuel, all the kitties are alive and well, I renewed my library books for more time, I faxed off my resume to another apartment job, and I have shaving cream. Tonight I'm going to finish up some stuff for my Mentor, shave my legs, keep warm, and possibly drink some alcohol. I'm really having a hard time with the season change. The cold and the early dark add to my depression ten-fold. I have to celebrate the little things to keep going. So here's to a working headlight, a computer on the way, and a creed in the making.
