That was me this evening, at the Christmas Craft Sale at the Winnipeg Convention Centre. Holy crap... I dropped almost $300, but I DID get gifts for everyone on my list except George and my mother (though I did pick up something for her cat), and a good chunk of it went to a pair of housewarming/wedding/Christmas presents (finally!) for Terri and Roger, who have been very good and understanding about not having received anything yet.

So needless to say I can't disclose anything that I bought. ;-) Well, except for my mother's new cat's present: a catnip blanket with a pattern featuring cats looking at classic art pieces redone with cat themes (what a mouthful!), and a bag of high-test organic catnip. Yowza! I rushed it right into the freezer as soon as I got home, and Emmie was STILL getting high off the fumes clinging to the plastic bag I carried the stuff home in.

Before the craft sale, I dropped off the amulet bag and blessed candle to Sandy, the girl at the Second Cup who approached the Witches Meetup group for aid. Apparently Gabriel, her cat, is doing a bit worse today, but the vet has waived the fees for the surgery this morning to implant a catheter, which is good news.

And since it's now been more or less 24 hours since we performed the rite, I can post the text of the spell. X-posted to [livejournal.com profile] wiccanmoons.

Gahhhhh. Got up WAY too late today. *beats head against wall* Once asleep, I just can't seem to get out of it; the peace of sleep is just too tempting to leave in the face of the pain of waking life. Oversleeping is such a chronic problem for me, and I have no idea of how to get around it.

Had to go downtown today to pay a couple of bills. Now that I'm back, I have to put a roast on to cook and attack a stain on the living room carpet caused by a plate of french fries, chicken, and gravy toppling off the coffee table during the post-ritual feast on Wednesday. Fortunately there was a large plastic potato chip bag on the floor directly under the spill, so it could have been a lot worse...

I forgot to mention the fudge booth at the Christmas Craft Sale in yesterday's post. 20 kinds of fudge, including three varieties of reduced sugar -- I ended up bringing home 6 large squares for George and three packages of low-sugar maple fudge for myself.

And today in my purse I discovered a purchase from last night that I forgot to unpack: six little cheesecloth bags full of mulling spices, which I'd like to try with apple juice and white grape juice over the holidays.

Also found out that the Bay doesn't carry sports equipment. Bugger. On the other hand, Zellers does -- and it's only two short bus rides away. I'll have to make some phone calls.

Off to wash the roasting pan, which was apparently drained after the last roast was made but not fully scrubbed out. Blah.
