26 July 2021 18:28 Let's see how much of this we can get through before my kid needs to go to bed...
Me card: Clearly referencing my recognition today that, as I have spent my entire life thus far as a direct beneficiary of a community of rich liberals, to suffer at their hands is its own type of karma, and to receive a dose of it in the exact same life, a blessing. Combined with the realization that if I try to explain this to literally anyone I know, they'll consider me to have lost my mind. Sigh. Onward...
Situation card: On an impulse I made a post on the Portland reddit of all places, offering to give away some of the plums that our backyard tree is laden with - I just couldn't bear to think of them being completely wasted, and my dad doesn't want to make jam etc. out of them. The response was overwhelming!! So as soon as my toddler is back in daycare, I'll be driving them all over the area (Dad doesn't want people on the property). That should take up a bit of time, but... it'll be nice to have a positive project! And I can just drop them off on porches/wear a mask if necessary, so it's much easier social contact.
Outcome card: Subtle, but I had a mostly lovely time with my toddler today, got the chance to take a nap in the afternoon, and walked in the park in the early evening (and did a ritual there). I do feel like I went towards healing today - I think my cold is continuing to improve as well (not done yet tho!) With any luck, my toddler is completely better now - we'll see.
Today's divination, then:
Me: King of Spades (The Emperor) - my best possible self
Situation: 9 of Hearts - Selfishness, Excess
Outcome: 10 of Hearts (Wheel of Fortune) - Plans set in motion
Uh, well, I think I see what tomorrow's shaping up like... I'll have the best possible intentions (and might live up to them?) but probably bit off more than I can chew with the plum thing, lol. I wonder what further plans will be set in motion? I've got several potential options... but let's see. And let's keep them close to home, for goodness' sake.
