I met my mother at the Worchester Art Museum on Friday (which is, I think, the first time I&#8217;ve been there, and it&#8217;s an excellent smaller art museum, quite a manageable size to wander around.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yesterday, I wrote up <a href=\"http:\/\/gleewood.org\/seeking\/about\/daily-and-weekly-offerings\/\">my current Daily and Weekly Offering practice<\/a>, so that there&#8217;s actually a reference to point to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The coming week<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>New Year&#8217;s Eve and New Year&#8217;s day are the last of the &#8216;let&#8217;s start this year on a good foot&#8217; rituals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tuesday: <\/strong>The last major part of my cleaning binge is giving all my floors a good going over &#8211; that will be on Tuesday for New Year&#8217;s Eve Day. I&#8217;m also planning to get a chunk of my financial records in order, so I can start the new financial year better organised. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m also planning to post about a few witchy and magical books I&#8217;ve read this year (not everything I&#8217;ve read, but a few highlights) as one of my goals in 2020 is to share a few more resources like this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wednesday: <\/strong>I subscribe to &#8216;do a bit of everything you want in your life this year&#8217; as a theory, so I am planning to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Cook (ok, that&#8217;s making lunch for work for the rest of the week.)<\/li><li>Make chicken stock from the chicken I roasted for solstice that has been in the freezer.

I finished spinning the chunk of roving I was working with today, and will ply it once tomorrow, and again on New Year&#8217;s Day, for four ply (strands), three sets of twists, which feels right. We&#8217;ll be using this for ritual for our Imbolc ritual, and I&#8217;m excited to see how it turns out.
