Stop Flogging the Horses

Even though they make a lot of sense, today's cards do not really tell me anything that I don't already know. They look at frustration and effort. The 6 of Clubs can sometimes refer to matters connected with work, so this trio could concern my frustrated search for the right employer.

One of the things which today's draw highlights is that when a situation is frustrated, there is little point in continuing to flog a dead horse. Not hearing back from more than a handful of agents and employers over the last few weeks has really got to me. Aside from not getting me anywhere nearer to employment, after their promising to respond, their behaviour smacks of rudeness. Some of those jobs would have been a good move for me, but the cards are telling me to move on and start afresh. Continuing to send chaser emails to those people who are obviously ignoring me is only winding me up more, since they are now pretty unlikely to reply.

Even though I did a little drawing for a project I have become recently involved with, I spent most of my day with a good friend. We met for something to eat and looked around a market and some second hand shops. I managed to spot a 1972 set of books by Edward Gorey, called The Vinegar Works. I have always loved his artwork, but suggested to my mate that they are probably worth more than the £2 I paid for them today. After a little research on the internet, I discovered that people were selling them for £180. Mine are in mint condition. Even though I will hold on to them for a while, I might sell them in the Summer, along with some other collectibles that I have. Finding the Gorey set made up for the fact that the viewers who were scheduled to come and see our house this morning didn't show up.

As usual, my boyfriend came over this evening. After a little snooze, we watched some television. As he has eleven days off of work from Friday, this will be our last night of sleeping separately until he returns to work after his holiday.
