Samhuinn, hope and pray...

Well that was just all kinds of fun.

Started out the day getting both literally and metaphorically blood-sucked, ponying up half a week's pay for a spate of "you haven't been to a doctor in well over two years, naughty girl" blood tests. Kind of appropriate, in a disturbed sort of way. Then going to get some breakfast in ran an into an old friend I've not seen in over a year, and ended up playing chauffeur while catching up. Seriously fun dude to hang out with.

Then hurried on to the Samhain party the local Celt group was having. It was really just about the perfect mix.... not enough ritual to make anyone ansty, but enough of a reminder of the old ways to stir the blood. Lots of "remember your ancestors, remember your cultural heritage, treasure your family and kin ties" kind of stuff.

And of course... harp and fiddle, dancing and games, and delightful company.

Prolly about the best Halloween I've had in ages.

So happy new year, y'all. :)
