Dialogues

Me: Ugh. Five days, sore arms, and ... right, stop that, bad Jag.

Sam (also known as Also Me): Look in the mirror.

Me: Don' wanna.

Sam: No, go on, look. See curves? Not those curves. *baps* See? And sleek lines, and appropriate...

Me: Hey now. Let's keep it clean. ...Yeah, I think I do kind of see.

Sam: You see. That's the shape of what you can be, in the shape of what you are.

Me: ....HUH.

Sam: Just keep that in mind when you're bemoaning yourself. Little victories, baby steps. You're only baby courtesans, remember?

Me: Oh, shut up.

Sam: *laughs* I'm serious! You couldn't even touch your toes a week a go. Now you can almost lay your palms flat on the floor.

Me: Not this morning.

Sam: You know you're less flexible first thing in the morning. Try it shortly before you leave. Now, what are you doing today?

Me: Shower, wash face, eat breakfast, type email, study Russian, pack bag, stretch

Sam: Good girl.

Me: Pack lunch, pack rent check to deposit, go work. Work, Do tarot, work some more, come home, clean up, spaghetti! German, resting, bed.

Sam: That's my girl. Now hustle that cute little ass of yours in the shower.

Me: That cute little jello-shaped lumpy ass, you mean.

Sam: *smirks* Not so much anymore.

Me: Lech.

[tarot] Nine of Coins

Back to basics!

Russian Tarot
A woman who reminds me for some odd reason of Maggie stands on what appears to be a forest path, with a manor house in the distance, possibly a farm manor house. Three coins are in front of her from low to high positions, six coins are behind her. Her dress is purple over goldish, which may indicate modesty/conservation of wealth.

Spiral Tarot
A woman in a garden wearing a red-gold shawl and a bright pale yellow dress, holding one corner of it up so you can see the striped petticoat underneath (more likely so she doesnt' trail her skirt in the mud, or on the snail slime. there is a snail on the ground). Two coins are behind her, seven in front of her, arrayed as blossoms in a field. She seems content.

Crow's Magick Tarot
A family of lions behind nine coins, four on the bottom, five on top. Go go odd symbology.

Keywords
Harmony, Chemistry, Accomplishment, Foresight, Discernment, Discretion, Prudence, Well-Being, Love of Nature. Roguery, Danger, Storms, Bad Faith, Possible Loss.

The nine of coins has women dominant, two out of three cards. The coins are spread out as a successful harvest with a good yielt (or a successful hunt) and in order to have a successful yield the fields must be carefully tended. Requiring foresight, discretion, prudence, and attention to nature. Good times are upon you, I suppose, or in your immediate future because of good maintenance work you have done up to this point. A sign that you're on the right path where finances and material matters are concerned.

More bullet points, because I have to go back to work in 10.

* I feel so, so good right now. Just generally, not omg perky happy, but just generally much better than I have in at least a few weeks.

* I'm a little startled by the trend we've set. On the other hand, as far as trendsetting goes, wellness is a good one to do! Go wellness!

* On the bad side, some customers really are that stupid, and I should remember this.

* I saw the most hilarious commercial for a Spanish language movie the other night at the beginning of the 3:10 to Yuma DVD (BALE! WAH!). The title was something about Ladron something something a Ladron, and I need to go back and dig it up. And then buy it somewhere. I wonder if the SPanish language bin at the Wal-Mart has it. I want it. It looks hilarious. And it would help me maintain my Spanish.

* It is still in the 50s out or so. WTF NATURE. THIS IS DECEMBER.

* Lor! My copies of Faust and Breakfast shipped today! If you haven't bought copies for yourself, let me get them for you. Christmas present. :)

... I should get back to work. But this post definitely gets the booyah tag.

ETA: This was too good not to share.

Me: ... goddammit, I want a tootsie roll.
Sam (Still Also Me): No.
Me: But WHY? I was good! I can have dessert!
Sam: Yes, but, remember, you're a baby courtesan now. Baby Courtesans Don't Do That.
Me: Oh, shut up. *has G&B's*
