Today’s deck is the Keymaster Tarot.

This one was SO NICE to shuffle oh my God. I even kinda dig the way the minor arcana mix poker and european styles.
Today’s reading indicates a new chapter where I’ll be quickly unshackled from my concerns.
As I said yesterday: I sure fucking hope so.

I’m gonna be honest it’s not a good brain day today.
It’s been stressful and the way I cope with that specific stress is doing something, anything that would make even a 1% progress on the source of stress.
At its best it allows me to turn my bitch hyperfocus into something productive and proactive. At its worst it leaves me angry and annoyed on a Sunday.
I don’t even feel like venting here today is that bad. I don’t care about repeating myself but there’s only so many times I can do it before even I get exhausted about it.
The annoyances continued because I wanted to listen to Dangaioh’s opening while showering to see if I could pump myself but oh would you look at that the live version Spotify had got removed or something.
I’m not even mad at this point, it’s them making me buy more and more CDs until one day I have zero reason to use the app.
Something good did happen while I was looking for the Dangaioh OST, however.
I saw a CD compilation that had the themes from every Gegege no Kitaro adaptation.

That reminded me of going to Sakaiminato during my birthday and how fun that whole Kitaro-themed trip was. So fun that despite the bank bullshit taking most of my year even back then, remembering it made me feel like I didn’t waste the year.
Of course now I had to get that CD compilation also.
I was stuck inside the house for most of the morning and well into midday waiting for a couple of packages including the one from Sony Bank.
It wasn’t the approval… but it also wasn’t a rejection. They were just like “hey you have a middle name and second last name, add those to this form, please”.
Also a thing from Shinsei Bank but I didn’t check it today.
While I waited for the stuff to arrive I did a little bit of work. Mainly sorting all the core ideas of the game I talked about in the blog’s one devlog. I shared it with the friend I’m working on that with and it’s basically just nice to have everything we’ve talked about back and forth forwards and backwards in a single place.
Beyond that I took a small walk to hopefully exhaust myself a little and calm any remaining anxieties.

Let’s not even talk about how fall flew by me this year. I’ll deal with the damage of that when I’m out of the weeds.
