Did Vikings navigate by polarized light?
'Sunstone' crystals may have helped seafarers to find the Sun on cloudy days.

Christine's fine, but she was in an accident today. Insurance company tag begins tomorrow morning. I may end up working at home tomorrow.

Meeting was intense for me, with a sense that i needed to plant a seed of hope that there is a way for the both aspects of me that i value professionally to play a role in work (as was clear to N that i want both) despite the assertions on Friday that the two parts can both be done well. In some ways, i know i am not doing both well. But maybe ... so ... HOPE.
And then i remembered years ago, planting the seed of joy, and how there is no way to eradicate the joy, it is always with me, and will thrive when i shelter it and water it.
The certainty of the promise was so present with me during worship -- yet for all the wonder, physically i am tense and feeling drained as i have these realizations.
My mind wandered to craft work and thinking about using the butane torch on copper wire. (http://www.how-to-make-jewelry.com/balled-wire-headpins.html) After imagining/planning i realized how refreshed i was, how the tightness of the sense of gifted joy had disappated.
This seems to be a good way to regulate my energy.

I estimated that i would have 3.3 spoons to spend between noon-5 today, 2 spoons just from the 5 hours. At the end, i'd only spent 1.8 spoons over the 2 hours (not that i had much left over).
Some reasons why i didn't have 3.3 spoons
- broke blender, burning out the motor until is smoked making a veatloaf
- veatloaf is "off" (beansprouts giving it a edge?)**
- one hour watching TV (queasy tummy due to blender fumes?)
- accident stress
** interestingly, once i realized the off flavor was due to the protein powder i was "getting rid of" by including in the veat loaf, i didn't feel so disappointed and was able to move on more cheerfully.
