5 Tree - 29 Lady - 1 Rider

Health might be an issue, keeping up health. Though in the back, I doubt that's going to be a serious topic. Otherwise, feeling somewhat bored. I might feel restless, wanting to do something (and needing to do something, come to think of it) - or, also: needing to get off my stop, stop procrastinating, and get some things done!

Quintessence: 35 Anchor
Task, job - need to get a job/task done. Oh, that's true, so true. Got several things I need to get done today, badly.

11 Rod  - 17 Stork - 18 Dog

Me and hubby talked about a few things regarding his job, future plans. Nothing serious, just perusing some options in case things don't pan out with the current one. Otherwise, I didn't have no conversations. Got frustrated with one thing I've been trying to do in PSP but just can't get the darn shading to look right ... *ugh*

11 Rods - 17 Stork - 18 Dog

Conversations bring about change in/for a friendship. Friend speaks of changes, tells of changes or events taking place in their life right now. Possibly something I should relay to a friend - changes, ideas, plans - that this person ought to know.

Quintessence: 10 Scythe
Something rather unexpected, sudden. A surprise - not necessarily the best. Might be a tad shocking at first to learn of this change/event.

Yesterday's Cards

3 Ship - 13 Child - 21 Mountain

Well, I was extremely frustrated yesterday. Things seemed to start off bad right out of the gate, right when I got up. Rest of the day, I felt rather moody and half-way depressed. I tried hard not to let it get to me, and totally ruin my day - but it wasn't easy keeping a 'smiling face' and attitude. Hubby had one of his 'moods' of discontentment, and it added to the whole slew of issues I ran to in the morning. Definitely a day to pucker up, bunker down, and try not to rock the boat too much - nor make any hasty changes and/or act on impulse.

To me Child + Mountain seemed to indicate the damped spirits, feeling weight down by outside issues.

3 Ship - 13 Child - 21 Mountain

A longed for new beginning is not going to happen today. There's a block of some sort, a hindrance that prevents some things from getting off the ground or being started. Delays might occur. Otherwise as well: dampened spirit, feeling frustrated by (real or imagined) obstacles that won't allow for growth and/or as much change/progress as wished for.
Another interesting way to view the Mountain I came across just recently is the need to focus, concentrate, 'gather' one's strengths and not try to push forward too fast/quick but just restrain oneself for the moment. In that vein, might not be a good time for major changes, or try to push something new, rather, focus, organize, prioritize, plan.

Quintessence: 1 Rider
Activity, movement, news, contacts. Still, seems, that I shall receive news of some sort. It won't be 'quiet', alas, though there's exchange and activity, it might not amount to much today, or go awry, having to put a lot of effort into making anything work out (well) today.

Yesterday's Cards

20 Park - 17 Stork - 32 Moon

I'm unsure of these. There was a minor incident in the morning time, when we went to the gym, and I found a billfold someone had forgotten. We were able to get in touch with the man, and he was very happy to have it back. I can imagine, it contained quite a bit of information and credit cards. As hubby put it, just looking at the stuff in it, that man would've been in trouble if the wrong person had gotten a hold of that. I was just happy to return it to the man. I know how painful and disheartening it is to have to go first cancel all your cards/accounts, then get new cards send, renew your driver's license etc. Wouldn't wish that on no one if it can be helped. So, in a way, we did receive recognition and gratitude (Moon) from the man by being forthright and forthcoming (Stork) in getting his billfold back to him.
Otherwise, the evening itself was rather uneventful. He's a bit unhappy due to the fact that getting the new cellphones, our budget took a hit, and he's been having his eyes on a scooter lately. None in particular, just in general he wants a scooter all the sudden real bad. I feel another point of frustration come along if/when he doesn't get it as fast as he wants it ...
Then, I got in touch with my mom, told her the news. She was rather sharp and though she didn't come out and say it, I could tell by the way she talked and her tone, she was anything but happy about the changes regarding our phone line. That actually effected me more and deeper than I thought it would. Now I feel rather bad and depressed, wondering if I did the right thing after all.

20 Park - 17 Stork - 32 Moon

Changes within my environment could be beneficial. A public event taking place in the evening time. Gaining reputation within one's social network/environment - or striving to become more publicly known and recognized.

Quintessence: 33 - Key

Security, certainty, safety - something liable and bound to happen/take place. Feeling safe and secure. Having or gaining certainty about something (or someone). Also, success in endeavors.

Yesterday's Cards

36 Cross - 6 Clouds - 14 Fox

Had a heck of a time adding International calling to my plan. Initially, tried to figure out if Verizon could possibly figure out why my mom couldn't get through. But, according to them, everything seemed to work fine. They suspect, she wasn't dialing it correctly. However, mom said, she was dialing it like she did before ... no idea. And without her being able to understand the message that was being stated, there's no telling for sure. Had a tough time getting tech support on the line anyway - had to call sales representative we got the phones from and she hooked me up. then we had to go through 9-lines-of-you-know-what to get the International calling plan added - come to find out, only one plan per line. I didn't even dare ask how much it would've been for a second line - so we decided, I just put it on my cell phone, nix the home phone. Had to drive back to the mall to bring the equipment back before the 14 days trial period runs out. Made in the nick of time before mall closed. However, next, kicker, we forgot, they still charge you a termination fee of $35 bucks. Got that waved as we got the Wi-Fi service they have. This way hubby can now use it for his Xbox to go and get him some game add-ons, or take it to work, and use it there with his cell phone to get online. Seemed like a fair deal. That way he won't have to bug me all the time and me having to double- and triple-check my bandwidth. I know that made him feel better.
So, after an afternoon of stress, frustration, irritation levels going through the roof, we were able to settle things - hopefully working for everyone. My mom just will have to understand we can't be talking on the phone every day, or for hours on end now neither. Not like we have been, so, I don't expect too much upset ... crossing fingers. That's all I'd need right now ...

35 Cross - 6 Clouds - 14 Fox

Wow, awesome cards. A conflict and/or something that weighs me down appears to stick around today, causing further confusion and irritation. Something is apparently not going right at all. Need to use my brain to sort this one out. Using common sense and not being an idiot probably be a good idea. Also: in a matter that's been heavily on my mind, I need to sit down, and come to a decision, figure out what I want/need to do in this matter. Otherwise, it's likely to keep causing me troubles of one kind of another.

Quintessence: 19 Tower
Standing my ground, but also tendency to shut down, withdraw and simply not wanting to come out of my shell. Possibly, however, also the need to concentrate, focus, take a new perspective on things. A time-out, sitting down, and seriously contemplate might not be that bad a thing/idea either.

=====================================

Yesterday's Cards

34 Fish - 25 Ring - 36 Cross

There are two main things that kept coming up yesterday: phone lines, as well as stores.
With this new Internet, I'm keeping an eye on the bandwidth like a hawk, as I'm not sure how exactly this one works. With up- and download bunched up into one 'limit', I'm concerned that keeping all my stores, adding new items might take a toll on it. It does not appear to go down, even if I don't download and/or visit any or many sites during a given day - as the other service did. Just keeps 'stuck' at whatever level it was so far, and keeps on adding to it. And if that is the case, I might be running short on bandwidth quick if I'm not careful. Gosh, how much I despise Satellite Internet and bandwidth limitations!
The other thing is - this new home phone doesn't seem to be working out well. My mom said yesterday she tried to call me on the new number the past week several times, but keeps getting a message (which she doesn't understand, given the fact she barely speaks and/or understands a few basic English words), alas the call won't go through. Tried to talk to a Verizon chat representative, but didn't get nowhere. Can't even register the darn phone number on their site! Keeps giving me the 'can't find number/account' error message. Was way too tired to call them folk down in the mall, where we signed up for it yesterday. Will have to do it today as I need to go and cancel the old home phone ... unless we simply nix the Verizon. Darn, why can't things ever be easy? Just, need to get this sorted out before AT&T charged me for yet another month.
So, those two things probably were indicated here as both are regarding finances and/or contracts and commitments. Commitments to my stores, but also the contracts with the phone lines. And both subjects do weigh on me at the moment as I have to make some decisions in those areas. I hate decisions ... Mice as quintessence in this matter was appropriate, as both subjects been gnawing and eating away at me, wanting/needing to be dealt with.

34 Fish - 25 Ring - 36 Cross

Well, guess depends on how I'd like to see the Cross at the end. Intensifying the Ring could indicate a relationship, connection, commitment and/or promise made will become more relevant and important to me. With Fish as first card, either an emotional connection that will deepen and intensify today, or a financial obligation that might become more pressing (such as a bill, spending money on something or financial status). There's one such thing that I need to have clarified within the next few days, indeed, regarding out home phone situation.
Or, viewing Cross more harshly, it might also indicate that a relationship is taking somewhat of a toll on me, weighing on me and being important and/or frustrating me today. Naturally, some holds true for financial matters - they are troubling me somewhat today, causing an emotional stir/uneasiness.

Quintessence for these would be: 23 Mice

Which would give the reading a more negative slant, indicating a possible loss or feeling of loss, anxiety, fear, worry, something eating away at me. So, there might be emotional trouble of some sort - maybe old memories resurfacing, or a relationship having a negative effect on me emotionally. Might have to make some changes in 'relationships', and, there are some I have in mind I hate to even think about but probably need to make a decision on.

Yesterday's Cards:

4 House - 7 Snake - 28 Gentleman

Trip to town went, eventful, lol. We started off fairly OK, not too late, fortunately. I was afraid of that since it was his first off-day yesterday, and that he might sleep in a bit too long and we run into issues with store opening hours. But, that wasn't the case. Started off normal, than, we started hitting 'snags'. A bad car wreck (gosh, I hate them! I so pray everyone's alright/going to be alright), everyone rubber-necking (why do people do that?). Then it started pouring down as we got closer to town - bad ... and I mean, bad, bad. For some time, we could hardly see the highway anymore. And, everyone started driving accordingly, meaning, slowing down to almost a halt. Overall, driver's seemed to be a tad more erratic yesterday, and the trip down was somewhat stressful and unnerving. That's probably our lovely Snake. Otherwise, once we were in town, everything went smooth. Trip back home as well. No trouble at/in the home, fortunately.

Private/domestic complications related to hubby. Someone causing a bit of fuss. Things may drag out today. I guess that trip later today ma take longer than originally planned.
