Today’s deck is The Field Tarot.
Strong readable shapes, very pleasant.
Today’s reading is advising about making sure to keep a balanced state of mind in the face of adversity.
I haven’t talked about this, but the Bank Bullshit I’ve been talking about for months continues and it is, in fact, the same bullshit while at it. So it’s good for the cards to be like “okay dude, remember to keep yourself calm”.
Bad news about the sauce in the ice tray: It won’t come off.
With how much solid there is in it I shouldn’t be surprised, but the thing is that I was halfway right in what I did. What you’re supposed to do is line the inside with wrapping plastic so that after it freezes it has the grip to come off.
I did that… but put the wrap on the outside because FOR SOME REASON my brain went “oh yeah plastic on ice trays, like that one video about making popsicles in the icetray that we remember vividly for some reason”.
It’s a bit of a blessing in disguise anyways, that initial batch was too sweet and needed more salt.
I was planning to go out today and stuff, see if I get the cobwebs off my head and body, but it’s actually Respect For The Aged Day which means long weekend which means like hell I’m going anywhere.
Speaking of celebrations though, a couple of days ago I saw that the nearby park had a bunch of festival stuff left around that they were gonna pack up and I had a bit of a moment realizing how long I’ve been sleeping with an inverted schedule that the festival probably passed and I didn’t hear a single peep about it.
I often think about the fact that I’m happiest when I don’t have a schedule for things and yet I need scheduling to keep myself sane. I’m at once capricious and a creature of habit, the few times my Japanese lesson has moved to Thursday or Saturday my WHOLE week shifted with it, it’s nuts.
Oh right! I also mailed some stuff for my visa and seeing The Forms I’ve had to fill in the past already pre-filled for me where I just have to sign them is a level of catharsis I cannot convey with just words.
Not much else to report on otherwise, for better or worse… leaning on worse unless the bank gets its shit together.
