Olympus Rising Online Network

Demeter and I are in the upstate and will be for the foreseeable future. Before we left, we did check on the gardens at the warehouse and everything is growing like it should be. If we are needed, please let either one of us know and we'll come back as soon as possible. It's time to plant for the summer crops and, well, with everything that's going on, my parents don't have the help they normally would.

I hope you are all staying safe.

A belated happy Spring Equinox, even though it doesn't really feel like Spring. I hope everyone is staying safe and listening to what the WHO and CDC have said and are staying isolated. Aithley and I have headed north to my family's farm to help with getting things ready for planting and everything. If anyone needs anything, we're just a couple hours away and would gladly return here to help out if needed.

Is your mother needing help with the spring planting? I know it's early, but I'd love to plan on being there if possible.

Much like my lovely wife partner said, Spring is getting closer and it's a glorious time. I love that the air is still cool, but you and feel in the air the coming season change. I'm looking forward to the spring planting that's coming. There's just something about getting my hands dirty to make me a happy man.

What's your favorite part of Spring?

I'm sorry if you're dealing with the return of horrible memories. Based off what I'm seeing, we all are. If you need anything to help you sleep, please let me know. We, Demeter and I, have a few things that can help.

And don't let them get to you. This is probably just a cruel tactic to further dishearten us. I will not let him tear me down. You should not either.

Poughkeepsie has left a lot of people really shaken, especially as we crest the holiday season. It was easy, I think, for a lot of people to be distracted with the hubbub that goes on around this time of year, but for some, they were just lost. My schedule at work is busier now than it ever has been before. And I am glad that I'm able to touch so many people, but it's also hard for me.

I have my own therapist that I talk to at least once a month. I recommend therapy to everyone, even if you aren't "going through" anything. It's amazing how good it feels just to have someone to listen to you. All your little gripes, your tiny woes, the things that feel insignificant to you when you think about the greater world, but that really weigh you down. If something is the worst thing to happen to you, it's still the worst thing. Pain is relative to the person feeling it.

And I find that I'm a better friend, girlfriend, and family member when I'm taking care of myself. And as busy as I am, I still have room on my schedule for a few more. And you don't have to be experiencing relationship or sexual issues. That is what I see most clients for, normally, but lately, it's just been about life. If you need someone that's 100% on your side, then I'm here for you. (And if you don't want a therapist and just want a friend, I'm here for that, too. Bonus: I don't charge for friendship.)

For the life of me, I will never understand why people do things like leave poor, innocent, adorable puppers on the side of the road. Maybe it was a good thing that I had a final today, since I was able to make a new little friend.

( Meet C4 )

That is C4, he's my early birthday pressie to myself. Here's hoping the kitties don't get jealous.

Oh, and speaking of animals...

( Pretty sure I need this cat. )

Um, does this mean there's kitty doppelgangers for all the Olympians? If so, gimme!

A little girl visiting the farm asked if I was magical, then another child butt in and asked if I was Krampus. LOL.
Pesti and the gang were laughing at me.
