I was irritable today, and definitely not sin free. It is unusual
for me to be irritable during early waxing crescent, I am
more likely to be irritable during waxing gibbous moon,
and more likely to be wobbly or depressed during early
waxing crescent.

The irritability faded away when I started a new mystic attempt.

I have also been mildly paranoid after new (dark) moon
when a waning crescent high turned sour after new
moon, as in early September, 1994.

But right now I feel some nervousness which I liken
to stag(e) fright.

a little wordplay (no steady flow though):

emotiCon=emotion at the speed of light (C). :-)

Though when I posted that on Facebook, Facebook converted
the emoticon to an emoji.

I haven’t yet sighted the moon for the first time this lunar month.
But I always cite the moon. :-)

I sighted the early waxing crescent for the first time
this lunar month at 4:08 p.m. NST (1938 UTC),
two minutes before sunset. Such a sighting of the
moon is important in both Islam and in paganism
(and I am a nondenominational neopagan).

After that I began a new mystic attempt.
