I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

What a mess, Toddson!

Last night as I thought I had talked myself into applying for this new supervisor position but today it seems like more trouble than its worth. Perhaps relatedly I woke up around 4AM and couldn't get back to sleep despite planning on "sleeping in" until 7:30 and now I am super tired. Although another idea I had last night, adding regular fortune telling to my forecasting process, still seems like a good one. I can do two kinds of card readings and fake my way through tea leaves, I need one or two more to round out a monthly cycle. Any ideas?

And I just put the date 4/4 on an agenda and it is striking me as a little off that that is not a March date. Because time signatures.

My office moved to a new building; they're quite proud of the cleaning/disinfecting and have signs up about it. They're also proud of the bees they have on the roof.

I once saw someone who, having read about how much honey bees produce, caught sight of a honey extractor. They were CONVINCED that the beekeepers tossed their bees into the extractor and basically squished the honey directly from the bees. eeep

Bees on the roof! Awesome!

I can't figure out how to apply palm reading to Target. I could read my own palm, I suppose, but surely that would be the same every month...I have no idea how to go about faking my way through a crystal ball, much as I would enjoy owning a crystal ball.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

We signed Mr. S up for soccer. Today was the first session. It's once a week for 50 minutes, which isn't a lot, but it's some extra activity, which is always good.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Scrying, -t? Black mirror or black bowl full of water. Pendulum, which I've never used nor understood. Oracle cards rather than tarot? Runes?

I have runes made from cattle bone--little tiles with futhark runes carved on them. I've had them for ages, keep them in a soft suede bag just the right size to hold them. It didn't occur to me until recently how ironic and slightly grisly that is.

Hm, pendulum has potential. I don't know how it's supposed to work but I've seen it on Charmed, I can probably fake something. Thanks! Ooh, maybe this is a good excuse to get a Magic 8 Ball!

I am being brave and trying the Keurig hot chocolate that has been in my desk for 2+ years. It tastes a little odd, but not like it's gone bad, exactly. Maybe stale is the right word.

Argh. Got an email that my flight Friday was canceled (boo) but worse yet they claimed to not be able to put me on any other direct flights (theirs or anyone else’s, to any of the three dc airports). Eventually booked me a change of planes in Nashville (?!) and a middle seat. Grrrrrr. If I wanted a connecting flight that got in late I would’ve booked one!! But per law they don’t owe me anything. Grrrr.
