 We moved, and then it took a few days to get the Internet, and then we switched from wi-fi to ethernet cable and so I had to get a different computer, and then I had to crawl out from under the burden of my own exhaustion. Good times! I've done divination every day and recorded it on a piece of paper. Let's see how much I can record here before the tireds get me...

Saturday: The day of the move, I did not feel strong at all (Strength REVERSED), and did not help nearly as much as our friends. Our family was severed (10 of Diamonds REVERSED). It was a crazy day and I had to sleep with an LED streetlight right in my face (Temperance REVERSED). Days where all three cards are reversed seem to be crazy pretty often, and this was not an exception. 

Sunday: I worked as hard as I could to continue the move (8 of Clubs) and we got a majority of our stuff into the apartment, making it possible to live here, a real but partial victory (The World REVERSED). It was also a hectic, miserable day in which I collapsed into bed for a nap at 3 PM, our child was in distress, and it was impossible to find anything (Temperance REVERSED - yes, again). 

Monday: Back to work - I admit that after the upheaval, I didn't trust anything or anyone to be stable anymore and wasn't sure if I could pull it off (4 of Hearts) but fortunately, everything went very smoothly work-wise (Temperance). I didn't do anything at all on the new house (8 of Clubs REVERSED) but my poor husband worked so hard getting things in the right place he was in bed with a migraine that night. 

Tuesday: I had the quiet internal realization that, one way or another, I am going to have to cut ties with my father, but could not at that time decide on the right way to do that, and also want to wait until we retrieve a few last things out of his house (Death REVERSED). I buckled down at work and it went well (8 of Diamonds). The day ended with us moving a few more steps towards normalcy (The World REVERSED). 

Wednesday: I finally felt myself start to move on from the toxic, ugly atmosphere that I'd been forced to exist under for the last fair bit at my dad's place (6 of Spades). I got the idea that it will need to be an email, the cutting of ties, and that it should have as little drama as possible (The Chariot). I guess I've matured at least that much - there will not be the fireworks that happened with my mother, for sure. Mike got a new video game and started to play it while I watched in the evening - a bonding exercise for us (King of Hearts). 

Thursday: A day in which I felt rather pregnant (Strength REVERSED). I had a moment, first in a long time, where I WANTED to do stretches and exercise and longed to spend as much time as possible outside, and did get to do that some (King of Diamonds). I held myself to the vow of actually cooking eggs on our new stove, and achieved that (The Hanged Man). Step by step, we will move towards normal. I can finally, finally see the path. 

Way too tired to divinate now - I will catch up tomorrow.

Things have been going so well here that I'd almost forgotten that there could be a miss - but today, I can only conclude there was one.

I was the reversed 4 of Hearts, so should have lacked hesitation and fear of former mistakes... and I did send out the invite for the Ecosophia meet-up, and boldly rejoin Meetup.com (a profoundly depressing experience, to see everyone still mostly Zooming or insisting on vaccinated people only, sigh...), but I also had scheduled myself to call up the local food bank, which I donate to, and offer my services as a volunteer. And I have to admit - it was the exact opposite from the card. Despite being ready on a practical and logical level to do this, I have been so burned by volunteer experiences in the past, I wandered about doing literally anything else for 30 minutes (!!) before I finally forced myself to dial their number. And after all that... they didn't pick up, and their inbox was full! LOL! I will try again next Monday, and hopefully not waste 30 minutes of my day beforehand. But the point remains, that the card doesn't seem to have been accurate.

I did manage to write 90% of the candidacy statement - I should have just enough time to finish it tomorrow in order to submit it on the solstice itself.  I suppose the situation/outcome cards were somewhat accurate on that account. I wonder if the distraction from yesterday also affected the divination? I was trying not to be annoyed by a lot of ambient noise while I performed it...

Our old cat spent today working hard on passing from this world, and that definitely affected my day quite a bit. I have a lot of thoughts on that but am too exhausted to put them down properly. Tomorrow, I will eulogize her properly. She is still - just barely - with us right now. 

Let's do tomorrow's divination, for the holiday. 

Me: 6 of Clubs (The Tower) REVERSED - No earth-shattering change of perspective is on order

Situation: 6 of Diamonds - Charity, Harmony, Cooperation

Outcome: 4 of Clubs - Solid Foundations, Stability, Celebration

Oh, I'm so relieved at this reading I almost cried... I am unlikely to suddenly realize I made a mistake in choosing Druidry as my path. Not that I thought I would - I've been planning this for 3 months - but still. The solstice ceremony should be harmonious and hopefully they will be charitably to me, a noob. And this should form a solid foundation going forward, as well as be a celebration. And - hopefully my husband will be OK with the vaccine. I will pray for him... and for our cat.

 Not a lot of time today! At warp speed!!

Yes, I definitely lacked focus and clarity today. I even almost locked my keys into my car... yeesh! And I did not get done nearly as much as I had hoped. But - good enough, good enough. 

I had a few episodes of thoughts I'd held inside bubbling up to the surface - sigh - that must be what the Jack of Hearts represents for me. I told my husband to stop burping so loudly, for example! He took it with good humor, thankfully. 

Also I haven't made even the slightest effort today to stay on schedule, or to stay on others' schedule. No repetitive stability motions here, sigh. I'm 90 minutes past my kid's bedtime. There will be consequences, probably... he's enjoying the extended day at the moment though. The solstice's approach is helping.

Let's divinate!

Me: 4 of Hearts REVERSED - NO hesitation to try something new, fear of past mistakes

Situation: King of Spades (The Emperor) - Wisdom, Experience, Authority

Outcome: Ace of Hearts - Emotional, Spiritual or Creative Flow

A nice reading! :) I hope this means that I will send out the invite to the Ecosophian meetup with the best of hopes and no fears. And that I will finish my Druidry candidate statement within tomorrow. Signs are promising! ;) And on that note... gotta get my kid into that bath, and to bed!

We had another slam dunk today. First, I spent the morning feeling cautious (ding ding) because I am concerned I will say the wrong thing - or say the right thing in the wrong way - about my husband's upcoming vaccination (ding ding). I'm pushing down fears about his health - the data I've come across suggests that about 85% of people who take it have no serious side effects, so that's not the worst odds - but I want to try and avoid the mistake we made in 2016, where we OD'd on marijuana (don't laugh, it's possible) and my husband panicked and called an ambulance. That dumb shit cost us thousands of dollars. I'm genuinely concerned the same thing will happen again. Then again, even a $$$$$ bill would be better than the health issues, no? But... gotta bring it up the right way. Carefully. 

Also, I'd be interested to hear my mother-in-law explain away the spike protein issue. Maybe I can see if he will ask her about it. Carefully...

Finally, I spent the entire evening learning how to make soup. But the split pea soup was a rousing success! That's two in a row, I am learning some tricks in the kitchen! That's scholarship for sure :) 

Gonna do this quick because I am tired tonight - cooking always takes it out of me. 

Me: King of Spades (The Emperor) - Wisdom, Experience, Authority

Situation: 3 of Hearts - A Party or Celebration

Outcome: Jack of Spades - Caution, Potential

Hmm - a decent day, I suspect. I'll definitely not mind being the Emperor as I go about my day... thinking back to the last time I drew this card, perhaps I'll have another job interview? I know I'll be applying for one! I'm not sure what I'll be celebrating but I'm up for it :)  And ending up with caution/potential... I'll keep an eye out. Maybe this means that the conversation is happening tomorrow night. Deep breaths...

OK, to bed.

 Like most nights when I do a big meal, I got so exhausted I fell asleep putting my kid to bed! I decided to prioritize sleep this time :)

I did that whole big post in honor of the Death card - though it tired me, I think it was good to ascertain exactly where I am at this time, in the cycle of destruction, renewal and change. And hey... speaking to the NSA bots is the only influence I have on national politics nowadays. Maybe they took my argument into consideration! ;) 

Yesterday, I took on the burden of pushing the Ecosophian meet-up forward to a final proposal. It was a lot of work towards the end. But... it was done! Burden successfully carried! :)

And the Mystery card - much more subtle than I presumed. But when I came back to my own bed at 3 AM, my husband gasped and said I'd spooked him. I almost never do that - I wonder what it was about me last night? Or about him? Or perhaps I need to look up the hidden 8 of Hearts meaning to figure this one out...

Let's hurry through a divination. 

Me: Jack of Spades - Caution, Potential

Situation: 4 of Hearts - Hesitation to try something new, Fear of past mistakes

Outcome: Jack of Diamonds - Fascination, Wonder, Scholarship

Quick narrative: I am cautiously making my way through my candidacy statement (and I do need to get going on that); heck, the 4 of Hearts could be related to that (I am nervous about sounding dumb or incorrect in writing about spiritual matters), and in the end, I complete it! Or, I read a lot about the Willamette River and that's fine too :)
