    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.
