Just running into say HI to all of the nice people who sent friend requests and to try to respond to comments. I will get to more of all of that shortly- I have to teach in 20 minutes.

I had a very full, and very good weekend. One of my income generating activities is as a Tarot reader, and I did a bunch of readings at at Psychic Fair on Saturday, which went really well. I was really happy because all of the readings were positive and everyone I read for was really awesome. On Sunday, my coven hosted our Beltaine and it went very well except for one catch....

I managed to do something to my hip. It's been bugging me in a nagging "I'm getting older" kind of way, but on Sunday, I was about to carry a folding table downstairs in the venue we were using - it wasn't heavy... but I felt something POP in my hip. And it was soooo painful. Luckily, one of the 20 somethings walked through the door and she carried the thing and pretty much everything else downstairs.

It was pouring already, so the ritual had already been moved inside. I don't usually do rituals sitting down, but I made yet another adaptation so I wouldn't have to move very much. The very kind admin who keeps an eye on the venue on weekends brought me an icy hot patch, which I put on my hip.

So this morning, I was at the doctor's office first thing, as the pain was still pretty intense. He gave me a cortisone shot, which does seem to be helping, although I'm still feeling pretty sore. He said I somehow inflamed it, and to come back in two weeks. (He gave me the shot because I don't tolerate NSAIDs well, and I had already been in pain for about ten days before the "pop" happened).

And now.... onto one on one critiques with my students. WOO!
