Charm oracle divination explanations are mostly finished. There's a little more giving ideas about how to do readings to be done, but it's mostly checking in for encouragment.

Reading playing cards is being introduced by going over how I interpret the suits. Eventually, everything that gets explained about numbers will look really familiar when we get to dice.

@_Psyber Knowing myself, I'll probably pick it up just fine once I stop getting in my own way. Which is an important life lesson all on its own.

@_Psyber It's part of my druid studies. Working with plant oracles, I'm much more comfortable with a card deck - The Southern Botanic Oracle - because those are plants from where I'm from. But I still want to learn ogham and see how plants from different areas of the world line up. Which ones have the same medicinal uses, grow in similar environments, etc.

Working on learning ogham. Like, I'm at the starter level. Still learning to identify them. I pull out three today and cannot help but think Willow Hazel Blackthorn should be a character name. That's how the learning is going!

Mother's Day is very uncomfortable for me. I spent time cleaning a shrine and other devotional duties, finding healing in giving the day to my mothers who are not human and my ancestral mothers.

If the day is hard for you - if it's wrapped in grief, trauma, other painful things - please know that you are loved. It may not be the love you wanted, but I promise you are loved.

Got the cabinet put together! Got the couch moved! Gonna go lay down! 👍

The cow's name is Todd, by the way.

Things I have done today:

Held a snake
Killed a wasp
Named a cow
Yelled at the pieces of a storage cabinet that refuses to put itself together

I used to be good at putting furniture together. I was the person to call because I'd be happy to do it, do it quickly, and do it well!

I don't know what happened. I just really wish the stuff we've recently bought would put itself together. I'm sure I'll cry again before this is finished.

A sand boa is a...

1. Danger noodle

2. Spooky noodle

3. Blessed Child of the Lake Monster

I somehow twisted stitches in a really confusing way. Ended up having to just pull it all out and start over. No clue how I did it! If a pattern had actually called for that, I would have spent hours looking up every tutorial.

@Alfred If that program did exist, and if you knew about it, I don't think you'd be able to tell me. I don't have the necessary security clearance.

@Alfred As far as you know, does the United States military have a program for developing laser bears?

@Alfred Let me rephrase the question. If you were an octopus, would you keep the fact that you were an octopus secret?

@Alfred If you were an octopus, would that information be kept secret?

@Alfred You seem to know a lot about the needs of an octopus. Are you an octopus?

@Alfred Would you invite an octopus to a party hosted at a beach?

@Alfred Why are you unwilling to invite an octopus to a party?
