Round 2

Is this round 2 of being sick? I’m running a low grade fever but I feel like I’m melting it’s so fucking hot. I can’t cool off. My chest actually hurts and I have no strength. I still have my cough, ironically the congestion isn’t as bad. Dizzy when I stand up for too long

I’m so tired. I’m just so hot...

starts again

so the past few weeks have been blissful. my mental health has been amazingly stable... no mood swings up or down. fae has been pretty much silent, which is technically a good thing, although i miss her at times.

well its started again. i finallly started a depressive episode. lethargy. feeling drained. lead on my chest and limbs. irritable.

today is going on day three... woke up mad because of a bad dream. was going to be too late to cass, so i skipped. came back to jimmies an slept some more.... more bad dreams. So my mood goes from mad to just plain shitty. not to mention i feel feverish and weak again, almost like my sickness is returning.  (oh i forgot to blog that i got sick last week. nothing serious... slight fever for a day with congestion and coughing. as usual its drained into my lungs. my cough and congestion has been persistent.)  - but being with him made me feel a little bit better; smelling him, touching him, kissing him... mind you, he doesn't make it just all go away, but cuddling ith him at least made is a bit better.

so then we all go out for munch, Jimmie, his roommate cory, and i. i actually think im going to be able to eat all my food, maybe even order more... nope. i got hit with a wave of dizziness and tightness in my head and slight nausea.  all i want then is to curl up in my bed with my cats.

so then i go home and curl into bed with my cats...

while with the boys i wanted to be alone. but once alone i wanted jimmie with me.

bipolar sucks.

Amy will be coming to visit soon though, spend the hour with me before i have to go to work. 'i miss her so much, all the time. I really wish i could speed up time to when she and i will be really okay again. I still feel like there is such a distance between us. things feel a bit awkward. I miss her.

what does this year hold for me?
shaman one card: retreat - get your ducks in a row, strengthen yourself for the changes to come. alternatively process through the changes that have already occurred.

What does this year hold for my heart/relationships?

shaman one card: stripping illusion- let go of the past and unfulfilled relationships, they hinder the inner beauty of what is really there. 
----> one more please?: its all good - every thing that happens is a lesson. by not attaching expectations you will allow things to flow naturally.

      • Strength: unfocused energy, overwhelming emotion
      • delays, frustration
    • 8 of wands reversed - apprehension, dispute
    • 5 of pents - disenfranchised --> (i forgot to put what card i drew) resolution and compromise

possible outcome/ final advice:  high lord of gratitude and service- do things for the sake of doing them, not reward... and the reward will be great. Make decisions based on how you feel and what is right rather than which will have the most prosperous outcome.

Jimmie's Year?
Shaman one card: duality -> how you deal with challenges that come your way is up to you

details that decided to fall out: a shit ton.

  • omens - pay attention to coincidences in your life. look for patterns. 
  • growth - people come and go, let them, and learn. new room for new beginnings. 
  • creativity - this year will bring you new avenues to explore via trying things you would normally never do. act on your impulses. card symbolizes the birth of a new state of being.
  • emotional release: voice your feelings, don't bottle them up in an attempt to seem :strong". find a way to let negative emotions out... journal, dance, ect. it will be healing. 
  • self love - admit your past mistakes and let them go. don't dwell on them and forgive yourself, embrace and learn from your imperfections. love yourself. 
  • sexual energy: sexual energy come from within us, how we use it is important. It can be used for manipulation or to bring energies closer....essentially this card is saying sexual energy can be spiritual. 
  • sacred space: essentially this card says you need to make an alter. doesn't have to be spiritual, but have a sacred spot on a shelf or a room where you keep items that are dear and meaningful to you. pictures of loved ones, ites that remind you of people or memories. keep a candle there, even if you never light it. 
  • home: this year has the potential to "bring you home". to a place in your life where you are safe and secure. It leads to a family or a point in your life where you settle down. It could be a place you will visit and you will be struck with a sense of belonging. no matter what you will find a "home". <3
  • struggle: any struggle that comes to you this year will only help you to grow. when it comes, ask yourself, what is this teaching you? (this might come from hindsight as a means to get past the challenge or see the purpose of it)
  • Joy: self explanatory. Good things come your way, a year of self reflection and love. 

Oracle:

present/issue chess queen: trust in the divine.....***** CONNECTS WITH OMENS****
advice/action: Gaia's Garden - you will have all you need, enjoy the fruits of your labor. what you need will come to you when you need it. Embrace the good.
possible outcome/ final advice: queen of light challenger:don't give in to fear or rejection or failure. if its meant to be it will be. DO THE THING (whatever it is when it comes)
