Sick Day

Yeah, the flu got the better of me. I went to drop boy off at nursery in the car and couldn't keep my eyes open. Thank God I wasn't the one driving, right?

I slept most of today. That's helped. And watched glee.

The other day, I was looking over this tarot stuff, and you know what? It's actually pretty cool. It's not really future-telling, it's comforting. The cards have different meanings, depending what they're next to when laid for a reading (so if they're in 'past' position they may not mean the same when in 'problem' position). You think of a question as you shuffle, then cut cards. The position of the cards and the meanings they potentially have help spell out your problem, your situation, and a way of answering the question, but it does all come from how you see the cards.

My mum will still freak if she ever saw them. Meh. They seem like a great tool to help you come to conclusions you otherwise wouldn't, stating the obvious and whatnot.

And I've had a tarot reading once before. I thought the bird was bullcrapping me. I'd just started talking to Pete again, and gone on holiday to Florida (we do it every 12-18 months) and at the Pirates dinner show they had a tarot reader. She pulled out the lovers and wheel of fortune from my shuffling, and said fate had brought me and an ex to a place we could work together from, that it was better this time because we were both ready for it. Didn't quite get her, but I knew it would've been Pete anyway ... but I read the stuff about the wheel of fortune and the lovers and ... yeah, she knew her tarot dictionary lol. I never took it to mean anything more than Pete and I would be friends, btw, just that we were both probably ready to stop being stupid and start being friends again. Is kinda true, since we do speak often. Even if he did bail out on me the other day.

And boy's Godmother has bailed out of the zoo, until July. If I didn't feel so lousy, that'd get me there.

But I do, and the screen's hurting my eyes, but I wanted to do something other than sleep/stare at Glee or New Moon/drink soup.
