Coloring Projects for the Autumnal Equinox

Second Harvest - Mabon - First Day of Autumn - The Autumnal Equinox Coloring Fun

The first day of Autumn was last Saturday, September 23. In Pagan traditions, we call it Mabon, I didn’t really do anything to mark the Equinox. I’m still busy working in my gardens, getting things ready to plant my fall bulbs. So, to relax and do something for Mabon, I did some coloring. I did 3 coloring projects and it took me almost a week to do them. Between housework, yardwork, a visit to my chiropractor, and well, ‘life,’ yep, it took me this long to do them. 

This first one I did is a balsa wood coloring kit I got from Dollar Tree. It comes with 4 small color markers. I’m happy with the results, but I think overall, it’s too orange. When I go shopping again, I think I’ll pick up another one and color one of the pumpkins a light beige.

The next two are Mabon coloring pages from artist Amy Cesari. Amy is an excellant artist who publishes Pagan-oriented coloring pages, calendars, and planners. Her calendars and planners are also coloring books. I’ve purchased a few of her books. And every so often, Amy gives her customers ‘freebies’ to color. These two were her Mabon freebies for this year. Just google Amy Cesari to get to her website or find her on facebook.

This one is a word-seek puzzle. I enjoy these puzzles. Keeps me sharp. (along with Sudoku puzzles). 

As you can see, I haven’t done this one yet. I wanted to scan it so I would have it to print out to do again at a later date. I believe this came from a Word Seek puzzle book that I bought at Dollar Tree. I usually buy 2 or 3 in the spring at Ollie’s Discount Store. And I decided to share it with you. Just click on it, save to your computer to print out.

 

You can't be friends with someone who tried to destroy you in the past.

 

so true.

The exBFF took a shot at me and missed. She called my job in 2012 and said I was printing out her medical records.

First of all, my employee computer sign on information allowed me to access a PORTION OF THE CHART of the current patient(s) that I was assigned to. The portion that contained ONLY what I needed to use in my position as a PCA (Patient Care Associate, formerly called Nurse’s Aide). It contained places where I entered the patient’s vital signs, etc.
The chart was designed as a ‘check off list’ - it listed ALL the things that I would encounter as a PCA - like ‘linen change’ or ‘ambulate to bathroom’ ‘check restraints’ - and there were little boxes that you moved the cursor to and checked off.
There were spaces to write in the patient’s vital signs and intake and output - blood pressure, temperature, how much they drank, how much urine was in their foley or in the measuring cap in the toilet. There was no place that gave me any personal information on the patient - only their name, age, gender.

So right off the bat, my employer knew I was innocent. But they had to check out any allegation of violation of patient privacy. And they did. Hospital computer security protocols allowed them to TRACK EVERY KEYSTROKE I DID.

Human Resources also called me down to tell me what happened. Because they knew that I had been continuously accused of this computer tampering on and off since 1995 by Joan/Doris. And she did it again in 2012. And my employee knew she was lying as well. Again, because they could track every keystroke I did.

Yes, in 2012, I was attacked by both of them. Their accusations against me were found to be LIES. Lies designed to get me fired and destroy my life. I was paying a mortgage. My job was putting food on my table. Well, I don’t need to explain to you readers what losing a job would mean. And both the exBFF and Joan/Doris wanted that to happen to me. 

Their lies went nowhere because my employer knew that after 40 years on the job, I was a good, reliable worker. I retired in October 2015, with 43 years at the same employer. 43 years of dedicated, excellent work taking care of my patients, the hospital’s customers. I earned a pretty good pension too. I worked my ass off for that hospital from 1972 to 2015. It was hard, but rewarding work. And neither Joan/Doris or the exBFF could ever take that away from me, no matter how many lies they tried to sell.

Did either of them try to call my employer after 2012? I don’t know. Because I told them in Human Resources that if Joan/Doris or F. called again, I didn’t want to know about it. I told them “Investigate me if you want. I don’t care. I do my job. Somebody calls you with lies - I don’t want to know about it." And so, if any more lying calls were made about me, I wasn’t told. If any calls were made after I retired, I don’t know. All I know is that once I did retire - it seemed as though both Joan/Doris and the exBFF dropped off the earth! I had PEACE for the first time since the late 80’s when Joan/Doris started her crap with me.

So fast forward 10 years to March 2022 - when the exBFF contacts me on Instagram, saying she ‘misses’ me and wants to be my friend again.

I’d had 10 years of peace without that drugged-out whack job and now she wants back into my life? OH HELL NO.

To my devoted readers who hide behind proxy URLs

 I want to say hello to my devoted readers.

The past few weeks the stats on this blog have been quite interesting. It seems I have several loyal readers from France and Singapore. (yeah right).

In the past, when my sister and I had our main blogs, we took every page of Joan/Doris’ lying book and refuted every lie she told about us and our family. And there were plenty of lies. And I had the proof of the lies.

One blatant lie - which she told in her book, she said that she had taken me court for harassment. And then I was given a one-year order of protection - that I had been ordered to stay away from her for one year.

Yes, we were in court. Yes, I was told by the judge to stay away from her. Yes it was in the form of an order of protection. No, it was not for one year, it was for six months. And I scanned the court document that clearly said ‘six months.’

Why did Joan/Doris lie about the duration of the document? Because that is what she does - she lies about EVERYTHING. It was such a stupid lie. And why bother to lie? She made her point, that she got an order of protection against me. (and one day, when I feel like it, I will tell on this new blog of mind, how I was railroaded in court and got that order of protection against me). So I ask again? Why bother to lie? Just fucking tell the damn truth.

Anyway, her book which was published by a ‘vanity press’ - that is you pay for the book to be published - has a standard contract that all their ‘authors’ sign - and if you are saying that your book is ‘true and factual’ and you sign that contract as such - well, you better be true and factual in what you put in that book. And Joan/Doris was not.

There were a ton of lies in her book, but I sent proof of only a smidgen of her lies to the publisher - and the proof I sent them? Copies of the actual court and police documents. AND, most importantly, a copy of the order of protection, with my signature, that clearly stated that the order of protection was for SIX MONTHS, not for one year. The result? The publisher’s legal team declared that Joan/Doris had violated the contract she signed and pulled her book from publication.

Words matter people. The words that come out of your mouth and what you write MATTER. Joan/Doris’ book came out in November 2009 and it was pulled from publication in May 2010. Joan/Doris found out the hard way that it is important to tell the truth.

There is no such thing as ‘alternate’ facts as Trump’s buddy Kellyanne Conway said once - facts are FACTS. Two plus two will always equal four, no matter how many times you say it equals five.

And the truth will come out ALL THE TIME.

Right now, our country is going through a crisis in democracy. I won’t go all in about it - only to say that there are some people, no matter how stupid a lie sounds, will always believe the lies. And we are seeing this in the way weak-minded people willingly believe garbage that comes out of Trump’s mouth. Even when those lies are proven false by other words that come out of his mouth or his actions make a liar out of him.

There are some people out there that will tell you that the sky is brown with bright red clouds - when it is clear that it is blue with white clouds. Taking in consideration they don’t have problems with their retinas and color perceptions of their brain - these people will NOT believe the truth even when it slaps them in the face. These people are called neurotics. They ‘know’ two plus two equals four, but they so desperately WANT it to equal five, they will keep saying the answer is five - over and over for years.

And this is the problem with Joan/Doris. She knows the truth of things, but desperately wants her reality to be something else. AND Joan is evil. She will do things to people who buck against her reality - even cause trouble, harass and stalk them.

Joan/Doris is full of anger - anger because she was given up for adoption after our mother died. She and other adoptees who are angry because they were given up for adoption like to call themselves ‘angry adoptees.’

These ‘angry adoptees’ are just like Trump’s brain-dead followers. No matter how many times they ‘see’ and ‘know’ two plus two equals four - they WANT two plus two to equal five. And they will fight you when you tell them it ain’t never gonna be five.

Joan/Doris hooked up with a bunch of these angry adoptees on various websites they had. And one day in February 2010, she was on one of their sites and told them to go to my original blog and harass me. I got around 200 (I forget the actual number) hits on my blog and many obscene comments.

The angry adoptees like to do this. I have seen many posts by them ‘rounding up the troops’ to go to various pro-adoption websites and spam them with nasty comments. Or when they see a newspaper article anywhere - that is pro-adoption, they put the call out to the troops to spam the newspaper or the author.

In this way, they are like the MAGAts - Donald Trump’s stupid brain-dead followers that think Trump is ‘god’ and when he tells them to do something - even when it is wrong - they willingly and blindly follow their leader and do crazy, stupid, and sometimes hateful things. Like storm the Capitol building.

One tactic the angry adoptees use when they spam websites and people they don’t agree with? They use proxy URLs. This way, their bullshit can’t be traced back to them.

How do I know this? One time, I saw Joan/Doris herself putting a message out on a message board about a website to spam and her saying ‘be sure to use one of our proxy URLs.’

Some of the proxy sites are of URLs from countries around the world. My original blog’s stats would register hits from several countries around the world. People who are too cowardly to show who they really are and hide behind fake names and fake webpages. They have no honor or integrity. 

This blog, has been registering devoted readers supposedly from Singapore, and France. I guarantee that the hits from Singapore and France are coming from proxy-fake URLs.

I don’t care. The purpose of this blog is for me to say what is on my mind, and to be read by people.

So use whatever way you want to get here and read. One thing you will NOT be able to do is leave a comment - because I know how the angry adoptees are - they will want to leave nasty comments - that’s all they know how to do. And I refuse to allow anyone to abuse me by leaving nasty stupid comments.

Don’t like that? Too bad. My blog, my rules. Dig or split.

Finished coloring page - having fun with Mickey, and with my ever-present watchdog, er bunny, Bugs.

 

Yesterday I posted about a new coloring book that I bought last week, ripped apart, and scanned the pages into my computer.
The book is called ‘Mickey and Friends Feelin’ Spooky,’ and is Halloween-themed.
So I just decided to color one. I chose this one - Mickey as a vampire.

 

 I don’t think I ever realized what big feet he has! I actually do have a small soft Vampire Mickey doll. I’m not sure if the feet are as exaggerated on it. I also have a larger (about a foot and a half tall) soft doll of Mickey as The Sorcerer’s Apprentice from the movie ‘Fantasia.’ I’m not sure about that one’s feet either. Both dolls are upstairs in my bedroom, and I’m downstairs in my computer room.

Mickey isn’t the only cartoon character I love - Bugs Bunny is another favorite - and I have Bugs looking over my shoulder all the time I’m working on my computer.

Having Fun with Coloring and Mickey

Having Fun with Coloring and Mickey

 I suppose my readers think that I am a sad sort of person, wallowing in self pity over the crap that Joan/Doris and the exBFF have done to me - well, that’s far from the truth.

Yes, this blog seems to be centered on those two whack jobs, and that’s because I’m getting things off my chest and putting out the truth of two miserable persons.

One of the things I like to do to unwind is color. When I’m coloring, I’m not only releasing the creative side of myself, I’m relaxing, and the coloring is a sort of meditation.

The past several years there has been a market for adult coloring books and I have a lot of them. From abstract themes, to nature themes, to historical themes. I have a few coloring books based on Ancient Egypt.

What I do when I get a new coloring book is rip it apart. Then I scan the individual pages into my computer. This way, I have the page to print out if I want to color it again. And while I’m scanning - I listen to some music.

By the way, I have ripped all my CDs onto an external hard drive. Most of my old cassette tapes and vinyl record albums have also been digitized into MP3 form. I am constantly amazed at the technology of this. One external hard drive, the size smaller than an old 8 track cartridge, contains more than 1,000 albums of music, audio books, guided meditations and self hypnosis sessions. All carefully backed up of course!

My hubby and I were shopping at Dollar Tree last week and I found a coloring book called “Mickey and Friends Feelin’ Spooky” coloring book. It’s that time of year to be Feelin’ Spooky. (never mind that as a paranormal investigator (ghost hunter) I get to be feelin’ spooky all year round).

Here’s a copy of the front cover if you want to know what to look for. Reconnect with Mickey - you can’t ever go wrong with him.
