Ace of Swords reversed and the World.  The full moon yesterday was in scorpio and we're headed into sag later tonight.  I wonder if my food poisoning incident was rather a scorpio moon poisoning incident?  Hard to say...  I think and I hope that we have made it through this week with all of our commitments attended to.  My commitments have taken a back seat, which always makes me feel out of sorts.  I hate not being able to just commit to gigs, it makes it hard on me and it makes it hard on the gig booker.  I am also not interested in missing any of my currently scheduled lessons or jams, I am torn between feeling like I should just take any gig that comes my way and really wanting to give my current projects my best effort, which means not getting too busy.  Balance is a good thing, and means more than just not falling over.

Ella does not seem convinced that froggy is ok up there...

6 of swords and the lovers reversed.  I have not pulled the 6 of swords in a good little while and it feels different now.  I feel like I am the ferry pilot rather than the sad lady.  The reversed lovers aren't new but are appropriate because John is off golfing in Kentucky until Thursday.  It has not been as easy to keep the work working on this waxing moon but I am feeling some relief at not having to work at the working for a bit come Wednesday.  Hopefully we can get through some of our projects today and tomorrow so that we can kick it into relaxing gear without anything hanging over us.  Abbey has an octopus model due on Thursday as well as a picture of a tree for the arbor day contest.  I am just a tad worried about the octopus...

Is it just me or does Ella look like she thinks she's gonna have a swig?

What is happening here? It looks like Ella cut one one purpose and fart bombed Abbey... but that can't be it, can it?

And here we have what might be favorite ever in this series. Ella has her little elf shoes on and everything.

Another favorite, I asked him why he didn't just move, but that elicited a blank look as if there could be nothing more exciting and interesting than keeping the sun off of the baby.

I really love this picture, except for one little thing. I know what the wish is. It is for a boy, and there isn't a boy in there... It has been known to bother me that I know this wish but just now I decided that it doesn't matter and isn't even necessarily true anymore anyway.

Wheel of fortune and the tower reversed.  Lots of practical stuff to do today like teach lessons and start to deal with Ella's allergies.  We are off to the doctor later to begin this process.  I have been keeping a food journal for her and it looks like peanuts are a cause of the spots.  Hopefully they don't need to do anything too invasive.

ace of cups reversed and the knight of swords.  wow and weird, I definitely noticed the cups energy all day yesterday, I was floating along on it easy as pie.  It was lovely.  And for now it is done.  And with that the knight of swords came and swept me away for the morning.  A friend was in need as it were so off I went, without even stopping to question if it was the right thing to do, rather knowing it had to be.

Ace of cups and strength reversed.  The moon is in gemini and my little talker in my head is very chatty.  So many things to think about, I keep tripping over the last thought to get to the next one.  During my yoga practice this morning I had this moment, where I was in triangle pose and as I looked up towards my thumb I was struck by how much it looked like a smiley happy friend, peering down at me from up there.  Then I remembered how I used to play with my thumbs like they were little characters having adventures, which led to how important thumbs are to my and our human existence, without thumbs it would be hard to do pretty much everything that I love to do, so then it became gratitude for thumbs!  and then I realized that I was supposed to be breathing in triangle pose... 

And it is Blue Monkey day at that, I am certainly overflowing my cups of love for my little monkeys, that is certain.

page of swords and the world.  Moon in gemini and mercury is officially retrograde.  We played last evening in Geneva, IL and it was grand.  The event planner was not impressed with what he saw as we came straggling in looking frumpy and suburban (I need to do something about that) but once we really started to play I think it was fine.  I am noticing a theme from last week to this week, though, and that is that stubborn people have no place in my group.  I am really not a fan of the band mate who insists that they are in the right place and plays louder to bring everyone to them when In fact they are in the fucking wrong place and by playing louder to make everything follow them they are in fact just being selfish and pushy.  How about, rather than playing loudly when you realize that the tracks are diverging, how about listening to where the rest of the band is and going there?  How about using those ear holes?  yeah.  It really doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong, it really matters what the overall sound is.  This I believe.

ace of cups and 8 of pentacles.  I got the reversed draw on the other day, I think I might like this one better.  I really love the 8 of pentacles, I could sit and make things all day, doing the little things that bring about something bigger.  I am inspired to make a quilt, I want to use blue moon fiber because I think it will last forever, then, at least as long as I would need it to.  I want to knit squares of mandalas, I am thinking about a foot square but I need to sit down with the graph paper and my friend Kathy the brilliant graph maker.  Then I will buy the yarn for each square individually because that is the only way I can afford to do it.  First I think I will do a few projects to warm up to this, like an Andean patterned hat and bag, good thing it is already coming in the mail.

I played last night with Cheryl and Herm and it was wonderful.  This weekend the zazz quintet is playing in Geneva, a sort of last minute thing.

8 of cups and ace of pentacles.  Today is the new moon, time to get it in gear.  My yoga practice this morning was an eye opener.  I seem to have lost all sense of balance and I'm all gooey.  As for yesterday's cards I see them now as a warning.  I didn't realize just how cranky I was yesterday or just how needy both the kiddos would be.  It's always on the day when I want most to be left alone that they can't seem to want to do anything for themselves.

Ace of cups (again) and death.  Hello old friend!  Ready for change, I am.  I think I may have been hung up on outcomes for a minute there but it is not the way.  The waning of the moon is almost over and it will be time to buckle down and build something awesome, it was so fun last month I believe I shall do it all over again.

Ace of cups and the ace of pentacles reversed.  I've been getting a mixture of these cards with the queen of pentacles for the past few days, I wonder if there is a conflict between the cups and pentacles energies or if they are working together in some way.  I've been conflicted about whether or not to take the mother's day gig and these cards seem to point there but I can't get a bead on which way to head...  And just now as I was reading these cards and typing this up I was reminded that I have re-connected with a colleague who is a step up in abilities and prospects from the current group in question, so perhaps the cups and pents could be about that opportunity?  How about if I just try to stay open to suggestion with the forethought that there might be hidden surprises.  Booty?

Moon wise, I didn't play around too much during the waxing moon but since it has begun to wane I have let myself go as it were, but I think I'll gear up to work hard on the waxing again, which is still another week away.

3 of Pentacles and the queen of pentacles reversed.  Interesting cards today!  I was up and at em at my usual time and even had ventured out for coffee and to fill the gas tank before the partner parent stirred enough to tell me that he wasn't going anywhere today.  Oh great, I say, then you can take Ella to school.  woohoo.  I am not sure where the teamwork lecture came from except for the delusions of a hangover...  I was vindicated to overhear that there are work peeps who also think that calling out the day after a long holiday weekend is bad form, and if your wife and boss are in agreement...
