Showering In A Highly-Decorated Bathroom

(Friday, May 15, 2026) new moon Taurus

Waking life: I was informed that the city would be working on the water system today and we could be without water from 8 am to noon. Because lunch with my former coworkers was on my Friday calendar, I took a shower at 6:30 am.

Very early this morning I dreamt about taking a shower: I planned to have one in a small bathroom, but a young woman was there, so I moved to a second, larger bathroom. The space was strewn with all kinds of furniture, equipment and decorations. This made me expect that the room had been severely neglected, that it needed cleaning. But it was pristine. Historical. I had a long, enjoyable shower.

Day notes:

I am looking at a two-bathroom, three-bedroom house tomorrow with Cullan and Amanda. It is a Mexican-style home built in 1935. Absolutely gorgeous with lots of detailed interior and exterior designs.

Synchronicity: Mother’s Day Worry

(Monday, May 11, 2026) waning crescent moon Pisces

Yesterday I watched a YouTube video by guys who are Bay Area twins and do tarot readings together. They were talking about a visit with their mom on Saturday (who is being cared for by their sister). Their mom is the same age as my mother: 90, almost 91. They said she had been very healthy for 90 years but now is at the end of her life. They think she will pass away before her July birthday. For some reason that was a bit of anxiety for me. Is this synchronicity for my mother?

And today I had my monthly Mayo Zoom meeting. This was about grief. A participant with Alzheimer’s said he only has two or three years left to live. He wishes he would be hit by a train. Another member, a former nurse at the VA, talked about a seminar at the U of M on VSED, Voluntary Stopping Eating and Drinking. I am for that idea, and found a book at the library to learn more about it. I do not want to end up in Memory Care or hospice with the inability to eat or breathe on my own.

Synchronicity: Tea

(Friday, May 8, 2026) third quarter moon Aquarius

Denisea texted me yesterday. She is starting a new life, a new business as a tarot reader, and thinking about putting a sign in her front yard. She asked me for a picture of the street sign by the reader named Sophia, a block away from me, on Nicollet.

I looked up Sophia’s website and sent a link to Denisea. Sophia does tarot, palm, psychic and tea readings. Others as well. I had forgotten about interpreting tea leaves and it reminds me of how important tea-time is in my Eadie story.

Tasseography, tasseomancy: fortune-telling method interpreting patterns in tea leaves, coffee grounds or wine sediment. Tasse: French for cup, graphy: Greek for writing, mancy: Greek for divination. Practiced by both Baltic and Slavic nations, related to the Romani (gypsy) culture. I have a tiny percentage of Baltic and Bohemian ancestors. Tea leaf readings originated in China.

Denisea was very kind yesterday. After I told her about my faerie tale project, she said, “Love this for you! You are a magical creature. You always have been. Now you will share that magic.”
