Crawling up and out of this ritual

PHEW, okay so I filled soul gem orders today and I set up a ritual space to make them. I had all the materials this time. Candle. Photo frames. Music. But maybe I had it too perfect, because once I finished up, I ate lunch and then got EXHAUSTED. Me getting sleepy after a meal is no surprise, but drained and zapped? Nah, gotta be the ritual work. I didn't think I'd have to pull energy from elsewhere for this, but damn. Lesson learned.

I was shaking uncontrollably afterwards, two gummies and a regroup with Rudolph brought me back. Unfortunately I had to ask Jesse to leave while I recovered. This isn't the first time that his energy was too... energetic for me to be around while weak/doing ritual work. I'll work with him on meeting me at my energy level, so that the body's nerves can stop getting fried.
