Random 8/9/23

I'm getting used to juggling my three work contracts. I'm so much less stressed than I was with the bad place, and I'm learning some new things to add to my skill set, so all is good.

Pink snapdragons are growing up in cracks between some wood pieces in the back yard. It's a pleasant surprise.

I did a short blot for King Radbod today. Some info at Wyrd Dottir's blog

I made another batch of pesto to freeze. At this point, I might have to invite the neighbors over for pesto for a year. The basil plants are huge! I'll see if some neighbors would like some fresh leaves. I also dried some in the dehydrator for the winter.

My knee is to the point where stairs aren't as painful. However, when I turn and don't lift my leg up properly, I feel it's about to twist. I've been doing home exercises and still use a cane when I go for walks or am out and about to force myself to remember to be mindful of my movements.

I'd forgotten that many heathen groups do a fixed observance on the 9th of the month. Radbod was a good and honorable guy, a beacon of courage and faithfulness. May he be ever remembered.
