(Tuesday, January 9, 2024) waning crescent moon Sagittarius / tarot eight of wands
I am in a large house, working on a small painting project in the bedroom of two little girls. When I begin, I feel that my ability to make updates is very limited, but as I finish each tiny aspect of the room, another easy fix comes up for me. I keep working-working-working, more quickly and with increased self-confidence. I remove an old piece of fabric signage printed with dates and pricing that was haphazardly used to cover a horizontal bookshelf. A silly old DIY decision. My happiness and decor talent grows. I ask Chris to help the children carefully choose three related colors for their bedroom. A joyful, energetic dream.
Day notes:
I am almost done painting my staircase door, moving on to other paint projects.
Perhaps I had a prescient dream a couple of years ago. I dreamt Cullan and Hillary’s family lived in my Rustic Lodge house and I lived in an apartment above the garage. I have always been a fan of multi-generational housing, although I have never brought that idea up with them. When we went to a Linden Hills restaurant for Cullan’s birthday, I said, “I would love to live in Linden Hills someday!” To me, it is the most beautiful (expensive) Minneapolis neighborhood. This weekend I went for a walk with Cullan, Wyn and Oona along Minnehaha Creek. Cullan said Hillary found a house in Linden Hills that she would love if we could purchase and live in together. It was just a little too small. That made me happy to hear, whether it ever happens or not. Tweaking my old house is motivated by my personal pleasure, but also to make sure that when I pass away it is worth a good amount of inheritance money for my family.
The city of Minneapolis is planning to make our Tangletown neighborhood into a Historic District.
Two girls (Denise and Jo)
What a happy dream! I wonder why it is two little girls? A balance? I love that Chris is to ask the girls for 3 colors. Creativity with my animus involved?
I have been thinking about intergenerational housing with Kelsi and Keenan. Paul says it wouldn’t work with Keenan and him. (they are very different from each other). But I could see it if there was enough separation.
