Not every day. Not profound. Just what happened.

love tarot (online)
Jules dared me to try a
love tarot
spread after I complained about texting someone back. Three cards, very dramatic positions.
I won't post the result here — partly private, partly because I'd have to explain it —
but it was weirdly accurate in that vague way that makes you stare at the ceiling.
Logged the physical deck pull on oracle separately. Different vibes.

site day
Finally put nora1996.neocities.org live. Stayed up too late picking border colors.
Jules said it looks "like a diary that learned HTML" which I'm taking as a compliment.

sunday cards
Page of Cups / Four of Swords / The Star. I wrote it up on the
oracle page. Took a nap. Productive day by my standards.

thrift run
Savers on Lake Street. Got the mug, a wool cardigan ($6), and a tarot deck that
smells like someone's attic. Cleansed it with incense. Probably psychosomatic but still.

library
Summer reading program kickoff. Face paint, sticky toddlers, surprisingly wholesome.
Came home and retook the 16Personalities test. INFP again. Enneagram still says 4.
Shocking.

run / rain
Planned 4 miles. Started raining at mile 2. Walked home. Made tea. Watched two episodes
of something I'd already seen. No regrets.

guitar
20 minutes of practice. C chord still buzzes. G chord sounds okay. Rewarded myself with
scrolling instead of studying. Classic Nora.

craft fail
Tried to make a birthday card with dried flowers. Glue everywhere. Sent a simpler one.
Friend said she loved it. Might be lying. Fine either way.

gerald lives
Basil plant got a new pot. Jules named it Gerald before I could object. It's thriving
out of spite. I relate.
