Today's "day off" consists of a lot of the normal stuff - several loads of laundry, grocery shopping, putting the garbage cans at the curb for pickup, and some housecleaning, and my regular convo with Aearwen - but also I need to fine tune some stuff on the new laptop and maybe even set up and do some knitting. Wow - it suddenly looks like a really full day - LOL.

I'm thinking about Voodoo as one name for the new laptop, but I also know that it is an active spiritual belief system, like Wicca or other "pagan" beliefs, and I don't want to be disrespectful. Maybe Anubis will be the better choice to avoid problems and remain respectful of alternative pathways. |
I've bounced two names off my friends and family here - Voodoo and Anubis. Although I love Voodoo, I don't want to be disrespectful either, and it is an active religious pathway for people. Anubis is probably less likely to potentially bother people, but I don't like it quite as much as Voodoo. I'm a bit torn. What do you think? Would I be disrespectful to name my laptop Voodoo? The last thing I want to do is make light of a serious spiritual pathway. Opinions and thoughts please?

Anubis is one of my favorite Egyptian Gods. He is the God of mummification and the afterlife, and also the God of lost souls and the helpless. He's been a spiritual guide of mine for a long time. He might get a laugh out of having my laptop named after him. |
I heard that Mike Lindell of "My Pillow" fame is making a total ass of himself about the recent election and the defeat of Trump. He's determined that the election was stolen from the former President, and is saying so at every opportunity. Bed, Bath and Beyond as well as Kohl's have discontinued carrying his products, and I certainly won't be buying any more of them. I have to say that I use a "My Pillow" on my bed and actually like it a lot, but I won't buy a replacement. I'll live with the one I've had for several years and buy a different brand when I need a new pillow.

Anubis and Namo (from Tolkien, for my non-Tolkien friends) have so much in common and they often merge in my thoughts and images. They're both rather frightening, yet have aspects of kindness and care as well. I could do worse than naming my new computer "Anubis". |
On that note, I need to get moving on today's long list of errands and chores. Oh, I probably should add cleaning the shower to my task list for today. At least that doesn't take long - just spray and let the spray work for a while before giving the walls a quick scrub. Yeah - I think I can sandwich that in too. So, have a wonderful day - be kind, stay safe and please wear your mask. I'll be back tomorrow as we head into a deep freeze later this week and all of next. Time to really bundle up with sub-zero temps for a while. Ick!
