week 43 - autumn routines

27/10/24

not very words-oriented this week. we had nice warm weather but nothing in particular happened. i think i was mostly trying to keep up with the multiple ongoing things:

• posting peachtober drawings. strangely tense - the closer it is to the end, the more i don't want to do it, but also the more possible actually completing the challenge is!
• catching up on the DROPM78 challenge. not in a hurry. i think i will continue doing it by filling in a few days at a time, after the fact.
• finishing the 22 teachings tarot/astrology forecast class and filling out the transits for 2025. i'll do the actual tarot reading for all the lunar cycles closer to the first new moon.
• language-learning and meditation.
• trying to make progress on books i know i want to read but that tend to drag
• collage

i'm looking forward to something new and different. perhaps - finally - an attempt at playing tangled blessings? things will get a bit looser once peachtober ends. and i've loosened up my language learning schedule a bit as well. but it is paying off, i had a little exchange with a neighbor this week, it was nice! even so, alongside regular responsibilities i feel a bit cramped re: what activities i fill my time with. i like most of them but many feel like a chore now. not sure where to find the space for a sense of play.

after tangled blessings the other potential project is working through the new lisa papez book that's supposed to arrive this week, but i think with the DROPM and the dragging books i have enough tarot for now. maybe i'll do that after i'm done with 78 degrees of wisdom. for now i'd rather do some tarot readings. maybe i'll offer new moon readings again. if not, maybe i can entertain myself doing some pretend readings, maybe for the characters in my game? hmm...

hope everyone else is having the perfect golden autumn as well, if it applies in your hemisphere.
