So I’m down to $5 in my account and I don’t get paid until the 14th. We don’t have nearly enough food to last us that long and I still have to pay for one night of housing before I get paid again.

PayPa/e-transfer is [email protected]

All help and shares appreciated!!
In good company? Absolutely.
Well? Ahahaha, no. I' sick as heck.
Seem to be getting towards "on the mend" though, so there's that.
Oo! Oooooo!
There was a secret third card that jumped out of the deck and landed face down of the carpet, and I didn't see it until now.

3 of Cups.

🥰
Today's crow cards are the Six of Cups and the King of Swords.

Heh. This sounds like "keep going with the therapy, you".
Or possibly "Stop it with listening to the stories you've had in your head since you were 14. Come ON".
My birthday was yesterday - am now 46.

Crow card yesterday was The Tower.

Which, given how my morning went (a series of small disasters in rapid succession) definitely felt accurate, even though none were really the end of the world.

Reposting because, and I say this with love, some of you are going to see this and go “oh shit, I need to check my bottle” and then immediately forget about it so if this could affect you, go check right now before you even scroll to the next post, I mean it.
They're heavy as hell, but if you can move it and clean it up, it makes an AMAZING candle holder that will hold the candle's heat and potentially keep a mug of tea warm as well.

(My wife carried one out of the woods for me, years ago, and it's our Solstice Hearth).

I wrote a thing, and I'm quite proud of it, if I do say so myself. My thoughts on where a poem begins, randomness, surprising yourself in a poem, strangeness, and more. Thank you to @robmclennan.bsky.social for inviting me to contribute to this fantastic series on where (and how) a poem begins.
