The Perfect Storm

Some things turn out all wrong
And some things turn out all right
Some things don't turn out at all
But then again they might

Today’s Card

The Hierophant. Getting an education. Dealing with the Establishment and other people’s expectations. I am coming to view it as the consequences card for not being able to stay within the bounds of convention.

It was a helluva day. Big Mistake yesterday lead to Huge Consequences today. S2 found an email from EW and attacked me thru her. It was horrible and caused great pain, but it was done from pain. Hopefully, it will be cathartic.

I think that the therapist we are seeing is more interested in milking the insurance than in helping us cope with the issues. We spent today’s session on a misguided talk about our grandparents rather than working on issues. I know therapy isn’t fast but this approach serves no purpose.

Later S2 and I talked and started coming to terms with the division of property.

Upgrading and Repairing PCs

We’ve gotta roll with the punches
Learn to play all of our hunches
Makin’ the best of whatever comes your way

Today’s Card

The World. Healing. Realizing your goals and achieving synthesis. Sharing a gift or talent with others. Counting your blessings.

Today’s Hexagram

Ta Kuo (Preponderance of the Great). When under a weak beam, there is advantage in any direction. There will be success. Most apparent are joy, pleasure, and attraction, underlined by danger and the unknown giving way to following and penetration.

Hmmm. An interesting card for a day that starts out with minor oral surgery.

Later. The dentist is good. He actually got the pain killer to work for almost the whole procedure. Then only a little aspirin and some psychic recharging the rest of the day. EW was very generous with me today. Bosslady also said I should go home. So I did. I should be back at work, fully functional and optimistic again tomorrow.

So how does The World fit today? Between the love and support I received today and some poetry I read, I found that my world is much more complete than I have any right to expect. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, and it isn’t a train…or New Jersey.

Christmas Shopping

Today’s Card

Strength. Knowing you can endure. Refusing to get angry and trying to understand what others are feeling. Being kind. Tempering force with benevolence and demonstrating the strength of love.

Today’s Hexagram

Heng (Duration). Continued progress with no error indicated. No changing lines indicate a continuation of things as they are. Movement and initiative Chen (Thunder) are in the forefront, backed by Sun (Wind), which represents penetration and following.

Found the perfect gift for Dad, the man who needs nothing. I found him a daily ca lander of cross word puzzles. He turned off his Internet access when he couldn’t find a crossword puzzle he could run on a 19.2K connection. So now he will have one for every day of the next year.
