Evie!!!

Posted by panmankey on April 7, 2010 at 4:22 PM
Post February festivals I've been keeping a pretty low profile.  Mostly just catching up on some reading and doing some major work in my office.  I recently began cataloging my book collection, which is quite large, and was super disorganized.  I finished that up yesterday and was surprised to learn that I had 417 books in my rather small office.  That count doesn't include any of the fiction books I own, books about politics, sports, or even Led Zeppelin and The Doors.  It's essentially my Pagan/Religious book collection.  Whoa.  

I got a new cat two weeks ago too.  Her name is Evie (short for Evening) and she's been an adventure so far.  She's pretty much a kitten (an old kitten, but still growing and kitten-like), and she has a lot of energy.  After 14 years of Princess (who was six when I got her) it's taking some getting used to.  She likes to jump up on the windowsills in my office, which means jumping over an assortment of deity statues.  She hasn't knocked anything down yet (or broken anything) but it looks like only a matter of time.  She's adorably cute though, and I'm not sure I could get mad at her.


She was a stray before I took her in, and she's got some health problems.  She's had diarrhea since I adopted her (she manages to use her box the majority of the time, but she goes often and grossly).  She's on some antibiotics right now, I wish they'd work faster.  Besides being overly cute, she's also extremely affectionate, making her even cuter.  I've missed having a cat.  No one will ever replace Princess, but I'm glad to have Evie in my home.

I cleaned up all of the altars in my office today (they all sit on top of my bookcases) and it was nice to take stock of all my statues and magical tools.  I removed my long standing Jesus and Mary altar and packed it up into a bag which now sits near my desk.  It just didn't ring true for me right now.  I've become such a Hellenic Pagan that I wanted an altar for just Greco-Roman deity (and Isis who was worshipped throughout the Roman Empire and Greece).  It feels good and I like the energy in the room right now.  

Spring has come super early in Michigan this year and I'm loving it.  We've had a few 80 degrees already, that's unheard of up here in the Goddess's Icebox.  My apricot tree has bloomed already too, and that doesn't usually happen until the middle of May.  It sits very close to wear I'm writing this and smells amazing.  It's only 55 today, but that's warm enough for me to open up a window.  I just hope we don't have any more frost this year, I'd hate to see all the early leaves and buds die.  

I tend to update my facebook most often these days.  You can find me there at www.facebook.com/jmankey and at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Jason-Mankey/96650840663

Happy Springtime!
