Today’s deck is the Kaleidoscopic Tarot.
Very solid if you want something minimalistic.
Today’s reading definitely feels in line with the theme of “catching up with life”, specifically it feels like it’s saying “you thought you were stuck, but look at you now”.
So in the process of getting rid of All These Coins I’ve learned a couple of things already.
For starters, I thought that I could get rid of them at the ATM in the post office, but as it turns out, you can’t deposit coins in the ATM, as in, it has a coins slot but if you pick deposit money, it doesn’t let you use it. You can pay a transfer with them, you can get coins after a payment, but no deposit no.
The other thing I learned is that if a self-checkout has a limit of more than 20 coins… basically the machine throws a tantrum if it has to pull out a 10.000 yen bill.
You can easily pay more than minimum and get a bill for all your coins, I’ve done that for years, but if the change exceeds 10.000 yen the staff needs to come in and give you the change manually.
Yes, I may have made a fool out of myself but now I have knowledge very few have!
Also it wasn’t a busy hour so it’s fffffffffffffffine. If it happens again it’s because I’m an idiot instead of someone with a question (AKA an idiot no more).
The coin shenanigans wasn’t the only thing I was handling, I decide to take the chance (and before I forgot) to take the chance that I’ve reclaimed a bunch of drawers and the like to buy spare stuff. Spare lightbulbs, soap refills, a… steam… cleaner…
…
I’m gonna be honest, I’m under less than zero delusion that a Steam Cleaner is gonna be a purchase made deliberately to enhance my life. I want one because the pack rat in my brain is hitting a gong while shouting “COOL TOY COOL TOY COOL TOY”.
It won’t be today, though. Maybe tomorrow, maybe on Saturday, but not today. I’ve already made too many trips back and fo-OH MY GOD A PRESSURE WASHER TOO.
COOL TOY COOL TOY COOL TOY.
Another cool trinket is these thingies that you put to block electric outlets that also look like cats. I have this small paranoia that my house is gonna shortcircuit something and start a fire that has a basis on nothing (hence paranoia) and I know for a fact is gonna be super hard to happen when the outlets I’m paranoid about are the ones with nothing connected to them.
But you know, they’re cheap, might as well.
The biggest sorting milestone of today is that I finally put the disposal order for six plastic containers.
They were in my balcony from a period where I put things in my balcony to free up space inside, the thing is that the contents of the containers were mainly… other containers and sorters that I didn’t need anymore so… yeah…
That said, after moving them and seeing all the gunk (mainly leaves and dirt) that had piled up under them, the pressure washer doesn’t sound like a bad idea suddenly…
Moving that shit out of the balcony opens up the way to a metal rack. That rack is fine where it is, though. There’s already a few toolboxes and such that need a better place to be.
Now, my main goal was to free up the room that E will be staying in, the reason why I was freeing up the balcony is actually because that room had a tool chest with some photography cloth backdrops that I stored elsewhere and removing the chest frees up SO MUCH SPACE.
So it was like “I’m already throwing away this kind of thing, might as well throw out the rest”.
I did briefly consider chopping the plastic containers with a hatchet so they fit a trash bag, though.
“Fer, why the fuck do you have a hatchet?” Because I have a rat with a gong in my head that shouts COOL TOY COOL TOY COOL TOY when seeing things, we’ve established this already.
The actual first half of the answer is that when I was looking up woodcarving tools, I got a bunch of camping knives and multitools for the rat and amazon eventually recommended a small hatchet.
Those mutitools have come in clutch shockingly often, though.
Definitely feels like all the running around lately is catching up with me, gotta keep an eye out for that.
