Winter Solstice

Thank you Whata SpoonStealer for the beautiful purple awardicon that graces my blog cover and to Elle - on hiatus who added a second purple awardicon for 2016 Quill Honorable Mention for Best Political/Opinion

DAY 2224 December 21, 2018

Prompt: Discuss your plans for this winter solstice? Are you going to watch the meteor shower?
It will be cloudy and raining here so the meteor shower won't be visible. Nor will the full moon.

I'm probably going to be taking a lot of Tylenol Arthritis Strength as I try to wrap Christmas gifts.

About four or five years ago I had a severe arthritis flare which began on the 21st of December and there was a full moon. By Christmas Day I could barely move and I was in a lot of pain. Ever since that Christmas, I've been recording my flares. You guessed it they all coincided with a full moon. (Do not discuss this theory with a doctor.)

The solstice, Yule, and Christmas are all Pagan celebrations. Perhaps I need to ignore the doctors and their costly drugs and research some Pagan remedies.
So these are my plans for the solstice, but I'd much rather be watching the meteor shower.
