Today’s deck is Boadicea’s Tarot of Earthly Delights.
I leep almost adding a bunch of extra vowels to that name. It’s not even a bit, there’s just some corner of my brain that’s like “are you sure those are all the vowels?”
Deck apparently has an icelandic sort of theme going on… pretty sure platypuses aren’t from there tho.
Today’s reading indicates being in the cusp of taking a first step I’ve been thinking about taking.
It doesn’t narrow anything down, but hey, I’ll figure it out eventually.
You know what the worst part of being pranked by a nap is? The fact that it’s always the best sleep you’ll ever get.
On a good day I can’t sleep if I’m wearing a shirt (and depending on the weather: pants) or there’s a bit of light seeping into the room or any number of things… but a prank sleep? I slept with my pants on, with socks on, with lights on, I slept with my friggin’ wallet in my pocket and I still slept like a baby.
Anyway, when I got out of bed I posted the anniversary post I prepared a couple of days ago. It’s wild to think that I’ve been doing that blog for three years now (though the itch definitely existed since at least four years ago).
It’s like when I see this page has accumulated about 530+ posts by now, just a general sense of “damn, I’ve been at this for a while huh?” but in a way where it doesn’t feel like a chore, instead moe just the slow but steady accumulation of work.
Eventually the people I called to come and clear the balcony dropped in. I will admit that part of me felt… defeated? It wasn’t from being reluctant to dispose of stuff (in fact I basically told him “aside from the hose, the powerwasher, and this toolbox take away everything else”) but it’s more that in my head cleaning has become a fight against myself, like I’m fighting against all the years of depression that led to the current mess to begin with.
There’s something to be said about asking for help as part of the process, I guess.
Anyway, the balcony clearing was pricey as hell and I was already paying it gladly just for the peace of mind of not needing to separate all the junk, but then the guy finishes in less than an hour and even brooms the whole place as a finishing touch, worth every single yen.
I was supposed to have a meeting but there was a minor miscommunication with regards to which “noon” we were meeting in so that got pushed aside.
I decided to get steak to celebrate the cleared up balcony, I took the chance to try out some bone conductivity earphones and man the fact the tech works at all is so freaky. I’ve mentioned in the past I cannot use earbuds because my ears are prone to infection and even using my regular wireless headphones for prolonged periods can be a problem, so these ones working the way they do (even having an option where it’s literally speakers aimed at your ears whose sound is complimented by the conductivity part) does wonders.
Not in the city though. The test was fine but I remembered half the reason I never leave without the Sony insulating headphones is the noise cancelation specifically.
The last stretch of the day was mainly me trying to stay awake a bit longer than usual. I’ve got a psychiatrist appointment tomorrow at 8PM so not waking up at 4AM would be welcome.
The fact that sometimes waking up too early is a problem will never not be… annoying.
