starting work


I was called today and informed that I had passed my drug test. Well, that's one exam in the past six months or so that I didn't fail! That means that I will begin my new job at the Evanston public library in two days. Back to the grind! The last two weeks have been pretty enjoyable. I spend my days reading and working on my Estep project. The mantle in our living room is finally up, just needs a few final touches added to it. With the weather finally breaking into warmth, things are looking up. I suppose these reflections are appropriate for today. I didn't like today's prompt in the Writer's Book of Days, so I got out my Tarot deck and pulled a card and looked it up in my Tarot book. The card that I pulled was the five of cups, seen above (though I don't have a Rider-Waite deck, so the image on mine is a bit different). But the point is that the figure is consumed with grief because it is fixated on the three empty cups and isn't aware of the two full ones behind it. So, I was planning on using this image/description as my writing prompt, but haven't gotten around to it, as luck would have it.
