I’m gonna pull some cards…
Oracle of the Mermaids
- Falling in Love – kissing the divine in another, in yourself
- The Return of Aphrodite – temple, birth of the goddess, guidance, goddess energy, treating as sacred
- Divination – prophecy, fate, destiny, future fortune
Woah…
Okay…
Falling in Love is nice. Okay… I’m open to that.
(I’m smiling)…
Sometimes I freak myself out with what cards I pull out.
I didn’t do a video recording, I have no photos, but it happened. That Falling in Love card was the first card. I just shuffled, I asked my question… energetically… and that was the card.
…
Actually, my arms are sore from today. Even typing… I can feel… there is tension and ache.
It’s been a big work day.
I am going to take some magnesium…
…
I almost always drink protein water on my break at work.
And then I get home, the first thing I do is drink a glass of electrolytes. I buy the effervescent tablets — whatever brand is on sale at the time of buying. I’m not too fussy about the formulas or flavours.
And at night time, I take a CalMagD tablet… after dinner.
(Not a doctor!)
Self-prescribed…
…
I’m not going into all my logic behind all that on here…
Cos it does also involve… my own medical history…
But that is some of my daily habits.
…
Anyway, magnesium to help relax muscles… I’ll also rub some ointment… peppermint oil… formula… cooling… sometimes I use a cream called “Fisiocrem” (yes, it’s an Australian brand) and other times I use another essential oils formula…
I like getting paid to work out, stay fit.
I like to think of it positively this way.
Instead of paying for a gym membership, I’m earning money while I move!
There’s other co-workers who still gym and say they’d rather go gym and feel fit so that work doesn’t feel tiring at all.
But I’m… not gonna do that… LOL
My body is challenged enough with the amount of activity done at work and home — household chores!
…
I don’t know, maybe in 2025 I should get up a little earlier to do a daily yoga practice again. I feel like it sounds really healthy, and it sounds like a good idea… but will I really, really do it? I don’t know…
…
Usually we wear slippers around the house.
Do Koreans wear slippers?! Oh My God I don’t even know this about Korean culture.
But yeah, um… Taiwanese do…
But, it’s been so hot lately. I’ve been walking barefoot on the tiles. Which in Traditional Chinese Medicine — is not recommended. BUT — I don’t think the Ancestors lived in the Australian heat!!!
I am really enjoying the feeling of my feet on the cold tiles right now.
Oh yes, I’m at a standing desk and typing on my laptop. Standing over tiles. LOL
…
Tomorrow, I have to prepare a work Secret Santa gift. Actually, I’ve already bought it. But I need to wrap it. I need to write my card…
My Secret Santa — the person I’m gifting — is a total SWIFTIE! ^_^
I love it. We are work besties. I would’ve been happy with any other co-worker as well, but I’m so glad I got her name, to be Secret Santa for.
I’m tempted to go way over budget for her, but then this whole idea evolved into another conversation — she doesn’t know I’M her Secret Santa! — So with another co-worker, so a few of us, started talking, and deciding, “Hey! Let’s do a Taylor Swift themed Christmas party!!!”
It just turned into this GIRLHOOD CHRISTMAS IDEA. Okay.
And we’re very excited. And we have to plan it. LOL…
It’s either happening around these next couple of weeks, or even early January.
Maybe not a “Christmas” party but a Taylor Swift themed party gathering.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLLLLLLLLL…
And because Era’s Tour is over! WE NEED THIS.
^0^
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA…
Anyway. Then I have to think practically — what are we doing? What is the budget? How much can each person contribute? Venue? Decorations? Party games?!
Music — should be the easiest part…
Ugh! Maybe just a picnic in the park with Taylor Swift music and some nibbles.
I don’t know!
We’re still brainstorming amongst ourselves…
Okay, and my original point was. I love this friend. I wish I could buy her the Taylor Swift book that’s out in Target in America. We don’t have that in Australia.
We’re not left with much Taylor Swift “stuff” at the shops… friendship bracelet making kits? That’s about it…
We need more. I don’t know…
I wish I could gift her a 2025 Tortured Poets Department diary… you know? Like that would be cool… leather bound? I don’t know… vegan leather? I don’t know…
But oh well… just some ideas…
I have a set of TTPD earrings… that would be such a nice gift… but it is way over budget for Secret Santa… it wouldn’t be fair to give to her in front of other staff…
I don’t think I will part with the earrings yet…
I have some random Taylor stuff… I just buy little things from her online shop…
LOL
These days I’ve been listening to her songs differently…
They’re taking on new meanings…
It’s interesting…
…
I can’t remember if I think I know what I might have forgotten.
About Taylor Swift and stuff…
Did I imagine it? Was it a dream?
…
I don’t even remember what motivated me, originally, to start listening to the “Lover” album…
I think it might’ve had something to do with you…
Maybe…
And then I got swept up by the songs.
And then I became a Swiftie.
Especially, then, during the pandemic — Folklore, Evermore, Midnights…
Love, Love, LOVE THOSE ALBUMS.
Now it’s getting hard to listen again “with fresh eyes”… if that makes sense…
With more awareness, it gets hard to listen.
I had so many blind spots when I was first listening…
I wonder what she was thinking when she wrote those songs.
I wonder what she’s writing, now, for her next era…
Maybe she is really, really happy with Travis Kelce 🙂
