It’s happened more than once to me; I have a moon hangover. It doesn’t happen that often, but after being exhausted and out of it all day, I realized it’s from the moon. I haven’t had a moon hangover since a couple of summers ago.
If you haven’t figured it out yet, that Julzie person is a total wacko! I am extremely sensitive to “energy” and the effect of the moon.
Usually, before a full moon, I have endless energy like the energizer bunny. I can’t sleep, but I’m not tired at all during the day. This can go on for days.
I’ve joked for years that I am part werewolf because I always feel like and have howled at the moon. One of my all-time favorite scenes from a movie is from Moonstruck, “Snap out of it!” I also dream of dancing around a fire during a full moon with my dance sisters.
When our boys were young, and even now, I make them and Marty come out to see the moon in all her glory. Our wedding song was Moonlight in Vermont.
When Klaus was a puppy, the two of us would walk the floors at night; he couldn’t sleep during a full moon either. He kept wanting to go outside and lookup. The two of us would sit on the back steps when it was warm enough outside. This full moon, he had Marty up 3 times in the middle of the night. 😬
This month I had trouble sleeping the night before the full moon, but I actually slept last night on the actual full moon. I woke up rested, but after an hour into production, I struggled to keep up at my usual pace.
The funny thing about feeling like I was dragging, we actually finished up quicker than usual. I needed hard-core dance music to keep pushing me along.
After production, we had lunch, and I took a nap. A deep nap. Marty’s phone rang twice; I woke up and fell right back to sleep. That never happens when I am catnapping.
If I didn’t feel this way before, hungover after a full moon, I would think it was just a repercussion from work and my shots. But not being able to focus and feeling like I am going in slow motion is how I’ve felt before.
One time on a Saturday, my usual 10-minute farmers market set up took me over an hour. It wasn’t until a bunch of other weirdos like me started talking about how strong the full moon was the night before. Then it made sense…moon hangover.
Right now, I am sitting on our back deck, recharging myself and enjoying the warm sunshine. I have a zillion things I could be doing, but those things can wait. We have 3 days of rain in the forecast, so I’m getting in my vitamin d while I can.
We are on the road again tomorrow; we will be leaving early in the morning. We have to pick up some ingredients for the business, then hit the Vermont delivery trail. Our route begins in Saratoga, NY. Next, we have to head an hour and a half to Pittsford, VT. Then to down to Rutland, Dorset, and finally Pawlet to finish the route.
We aim to be back from deliveries by mid-afternoon; hopefully, I can have time to rest a little. I want to be raring to go since I return to teaching belly dance classes tomorrow night at 5:45 and won’t be home until almost 8:30 pm.
I’ve been waiting for over a year to be able to go back to dance classes and teach my usual Julzie way without worrying about wearing a mask. Yip!
I’m not making a formal meal tonight; we will both fend for ourselves. However, I am making vegetarian chili stuffed sweet potatoes to reheat for us when I get home from dance tomorrow night. I’ve made the same mistake a hundred times coming in tired and hungry, then trying to cook something and getting bitchy.
These stuffed sweet potatoes are full of protein and flavor. They reheat fast and aren’t too heavy when I want to crash into bed an hour later. Eaten with a glass of wine and I will be out like a light!
Is it a terrible thing that I am extremely sensitive to “energy?” Sometimes yes and sometimes no. I can turn off my energy worker & psychic abilities or close the veil to the other side, but no matter how hard I try I can’t shut out the moon. Belle Luna…my beautiful moon. 🌕
