So today I have learned what it means when squirrels are splooting (laying on their stomachs to cool themselves down) and it's so fucking adorable.

It feels so weird that I'm not making any potatoes for Easter this year. Making potatoes is a labor of love, so I am glad I can catch a mini break this year. But part of me feels somewhat empty because it's a crowd pleaser. ๐คฃ
A translucent tangerine and lime glittery d20 with the top face showing the number 14 in white ink.
A dry erase board with my in office "Roll of the Day" and Nat 20 History. Today's roll of 14 is funny and more creative than usual. The red "1" is from the 15 I rolled on Tuesday. The blue line (used to be a 1, but is now part of the number 4) is from the 11 I rolled yesterday. The green "L" attached to the old blue "1" is what I added to the 1 for today's roll of 14.
Final "Roll of the Day" in office (for the foreseeable future). I asked my d20 to give me a nat 20 for a grand finish...it decided to trade me with a 14 (which is right next to the 20, the citrus slice).
The irony of missing my normal train the last day I have to take the train to work. ๐คฃ In my defense, I was there and knocking on the door, but the train decided to drive off without letting me on. I got a good laugh (and an asthma cough) out of it.
So I am trying to process that one of my cats just woke me up in the middle of a very nice dream at exactly 4:44 AM. Normally I don't pay attention to the time/count those as angel number messages; but I will make an exception for this one instead.
1. I didn't get caught by any red lights
2. There were seats available on the train
3. The train has a floral scent (recently cleaned)
4. I rolled a Nat 20 yesterday for my roll of the day at work
Either there's a plot twist coming in my life or Moldavite is more powerful than I realized.
Friday: At the brink emotionally due to work, questioning my remaining fragments of sanity.
Sunday: Impulsively buys a Moldavite necklace from my local metaphysical shop.
Monday: Impromptu team meeting drops an unexpected miracle.and brings back a glimmer of hope for my morale.
A picture of my Hekate alter. It contains the following items on a small, black, oval tray (left to right): an obsidian tower, obsidian shards, a gold obsidian snake, a d20 on the number 13 with a pile of skeletons inside, a 3D printed Hekate statue, and a silver key from a necklace.
My slightly burnt/singed, blonde hair. The whole ordeal only lasted 5 seconds because I didn't panic and knew what to do: STOP, DROP, AND ROLL.
So I am hyped up for tomorrow's Full Moon tomorrow (that will take place on my natal Sun). I decided to do a practice ritual and briefly caught my own hair on fire by accident. I knew immediately what to do and didn't panic. THIS IS YOUR FRIENDLY REMINDER ABOUT FIRE SAFETY: STOP, DROP, AND ROLL!
Bonus points that I was also carrying my Ephemeris and normal work stuff. Yesterday I spilled Chai on me...and I rolled a 6. HOW DOES TODAY EQUATE TO A NAT 1?!?
Time to play "what did I roll in my d20 at the office today?"
1. Got stuck by a train, but still made my normal train because it always runs late.
2. Gets a perfect morning music shuffle.
3. Successfully navigated to my office desk holding my Chai and Avocado Toast.
Equates to....NAT 1. RIP.
So it is officially Gingerbread Chai Latte season! Am I bummed out that it doesn't have oat milk by default this year? Yes, not a big deal since it's an easy swap. Since I now prefer iced over hot drinks, I learned that non-dairy gingerbread cold foam exists and my obsession is now dangerous. ๐คฃ
Serious question: today is National Pasta Day....what type of pasta should I make for lunch today?
So this lore session has the party playing as level 10 characters. I have never played a level 10 character...this is a problem because I like how my character is a badass healer that can do significant damage (by sacrificing my life force). I hope I don't get too attached to this character. ๐
I love walking into session and the GM asks if we're ready to commit morally wrong acts. ๐คฃ We're having a side story from today's Basic Fantasy campaign to have a concurrent side story in Starfinder. It's weird playing Starfinder not at my house (because I usually host those sessions).
A man saw my shoes and started talking to me about how his wife would be ecstatic to see bedazzled heels and jokingly said not to tell her. I responded by mentioning the heels are interchangeable and to not tell his wife. His response, "Oh great, I already have an entire room of shoes in my house."๐คฃ
I love when my schedule is thrown off because session for Basic Fantasy was rescheduled for today instead of the usual Saturday night. Good thing I took off from work tomorrow. ๐คฃ
Me: *sees Kirby Air Riders Amiibo, wishes I could put Kirby on the Winged Star*
Nintendo: *Waddle Dee and Kirby switch vehicles*
Me: *fangirls*
Regardless, I think it is safe to assume my Tarot deck is proud of me for being bold/going out of my comfort zone to briefly talk about speculative research. Full video will release when I have ADHD meds in my system/can write my thoughts in script form.
I am not fully sure how to interpret this spread. Especially since half of the cards are related to marriage. However, maybe my Tarot deck appreciated my boldness of timing the video filming/release so Venus would be conjunct my MC. ๐คฃ I think next week Venus will be conjunct my Moon.
Me: *plans preview video for TikTok that talks about both Big Brother and astrology; asks Tarot deck if a summary for now is ok*
Cards: Ace of Cups & The Lovers
Me: *posts preview video, asks my Tarot deck if it's proud of me*
Cards: The Star, Nine of Pentacles, The Sun, and King of Wands fall out.
Finally found him.
Update: the bat is still hiding somewhere in my house. Last seen about an hour ago when I tried to fall asleep on the couch thinking I had trapped the bat in my room. My bathroom window is wide open so the goal is for the bat to fly right out. You would think I would be an expert at this by now.
I thought I was done with the nonsense of bats flying in my house. I have been sorely mistaken.
๐๐๐ youtu.be/5OFLFVC11Cg?... The music collab I never knew I needed in my life.
Me: *tries to be financially responsible, packs a lunch to take to work*
Also Me: *accidentally leaves packed lunch at home because I got distracted because I lost my favorite hairbrush*
Basic Fantasy today in a nutshell (so far):
When we're supposed to start session: 6PM
When we decided to start playing: 7:30PM
When we started making legitimate progress in the campaign because we forgot what we named our tavern and had to come up with a new name: ~8:15PM
Side note: Pisces is my whole sign 5H and Taurus is my whole sign 7H.
The crazy part? It makes sense that this all ties back with my Saturn return and my developing passion for astrology. The timing isn't coincidental that I have come to this realization right before Saturn retrogrades back into Pisces.
Several dates correlate to certain random moments that I never understood the significance of until the Uranus in Taurus transit. My Taurus Venus has a strong sextile with my Saturn in Pisces. Each of those memories was foreshadowing different people I would meet when Uranus was in Taurus.
