Today’s deck is the Banned Books Tarot.
Funnily enough I didn’t pick it based on today’s payment processor bullshit news, rather, I keep the queue of decks and mats in advance and it happened that this was the one for today.
The deck is neat, it actually mentions each book represented.
Today’s reading speaks of hope in the face of feeling out of place, which is a nice thing to read.
And I sure hope it’s for me and not the wasps because the FUCKERS ARE BACK… kinda.
There was one small nest without the same white spots of the big one the exterminator took care of. it looked more manageable in general, and as it happens, a cosplayer I like (I mentioned her all the way back near the end of the year) was posting about insecticides a while ago and that was one hell of a guideline to start with. I usually scramble on my own buying like 5 different things, then none of them are the right one, then I find the actual right one.
And so, BEHOLD.
I love this so much. The way it looks like a Super Sentai weapon, the configuration, it being MAGNUM JET.
It’s not just for cool factor either, it’s for wasps specifically because the spray is strong and spread out in case any wasps decide to retaliate, and more importantly, it also means you can use it at a distance.
It also leaves a smell behind that’s kinda minty, and I’m not gonna say it’s pleasant, but if you’re gonna leave a smell to deter returners might as well be that.
I bought a couple I realized I’m gonna need to do the bug equivalent of the rent-lowering gun tactic until they fuck off.
I’m SO GLAD I caught those posts about the insecticides, any time the need for something that’s inherited knowledge (AKA the things you see your family use to solve specific things) I shudder at how I’m gonna have to learn the hard way things that people tend to take for granted.
I had the regular biweekly meting and it went well, really the one problem was when I decided to go print some document and turns out I was out of ink, so I figured I’d go out and buy it later.
The weirder thing was that I start hearing a… noise from my washing machine. It sounded like it turned on, then I disconnect it just in case and the noise continues. Ready to throw it out the balcony because it’s possesed I then noticed the sewage smell and realized it’s sewer related but whatever.
Couple of minutes later I go to the bathroom and the toilet’s water was completely drained, the bowl was dry.
THEN like an hour later someone came to do the free yearly drainage cleaning that the building does and everything made sense. The pump the man was using probably did something with the pressure of the water in the house or something.
Not much else to report, thankfully. I did start cleaning up a bunch of stuff in the balcony because if nothing else I don’t want the wasps to have hiding spots while I’m waging war against them.
