Tarot of the Day
The Moon (XVIII): The Moon calls forth the creatures of the night, those who see best in the darkness and who have the power to slip into your dreams. Let your imagination fly with them. Logic has no place in the moonlit world.
Key concepts: Secrecy, mystery, the dream world, intuition.

Dear Allison and the Onyx Savant,
It is all breezy here, dontcha know. How are things with my goodest boys? Please tell me it is all marvelous with them and you. I don't think I could take any more good news.
Mr. H and I had our third?âŠfourth? appointment with Campbellâs Soup yesterday. It was not a blast. Apparently, I have 16 hours a day in which to do stuff in. I think those were the working hours of Victorian domestic staff. But they got a half day on Saturdays, I think. He also just wholesale slandered me in front of C.S. and made up stuff that wasnât true to be mad at me about. It was awesome, blossom. It does not really help that he is âmaking up for itâ by asking how he can help and so forth because he has not apologised or recognised (out loud) his behaviour. It makes me angrier. And then angrier some more. And then I breathe and think of the Dalai Lama and Tara Brach and feel better for five seconds. And then I get mad again.
And so, ergo, I shall move to the attic like a maid. Which means lists and organisation and planning. I would get a whole hell of a lot more done if I werenât having all these emotional upheavals all the time from this person over here. Iâd be able to focus more.
AAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Anyway.

I really got into my stuff there for a bit, which was nice. I feel like I have bits of notes and thoughts everywhere, so Iâm trying to compile them in a way that A) keeps them organised and B) also doesnât freak me out. If I see all of it at once, it becomes a deer-in-headlights moment for me. As you can see, I was able to use this clever âtoggle headerâ feature to do both. I also donât like things too hidden or they get lost. It is a delicate balancing act, and yes, I am a piece of work.
My brain needs to rest on something else for a bit, and I need some calories, they tell me. So I am going to take a short break and get a banana bread scone because I am a terrible person. >.< It is Saturday. And still my birthday week. I do what I want.

Well, Allison, you were talking about it being nice to have an October birthday. I am sure it is nice to anyone when their birthday is, and yes, it is also nice to me when mine is, although I wouldnât have picked it. I think it was picked for me in a get-what-you-need sort of way. It is cosy and comfy if you let it and has many scents and sensations that only October brings. This video illustrates that, I think, and also begs the question, âWhy am I living here when I am clearly meant to be living there?â Can I not just swear allegiance to Queen Camilla and get it over with? >.<
I had some thoughts on more list items and now Ms. Bâs whinging has thrown them completely out the window. Oh! I need to plan the party and I have one more Big EventâŠ

âŠcoming up that I need to both announce and plan.
That pause was Ms. B whining for me to go outside with her, so we lay in the sunshine and napped until we were too hot. More the actions of a rowdy peasant girl than a respectable domestic, but I must go to where the problems are.
