Finally the Thanksgiving break has begun.
I had Bryan out today and he worked on the solar electric and explained a few things to me and showed me how to change a couple of settings which will make the solar more efficient. David, who is working on the septic system, also had some good news about the electric. He is setting up the pump differently and it should save half the electricity. The pump is a big drain on the system.
My dear friend has had to terminate her pregnancy because of all the problems the baby had. She has had a terrible three weeks but hopefully she can begin to recover soon. I couldn’t sleep last night thinking about when she is going through right now. I did ceremonies the last three mornings for her baby, and as I started the first one, I realized I had to include my ex-partner’s baby, who passed away a week after he was born, also with great problems and no chance to live. I burnt some sage, then walked down to my favorite pine tree, beating my shamanic drum and chanting for the two little boys and for my friend. I invited the babies’ spirits to come visit me if they were in the area.
I got my grant to go out and research the Freda Creek situation in British Columbia, so that is a real break. My money is getting tighter and tighter and the $2900 will help a lot.
