Be Prepared!

I felt really good about myself when I got home from school yesterday. The comments about my work really pleased me. There is something really satisfying about doing a job you enjoy and are good at. I have spent so much time thinking about July and the potential of not finding work when this all runs out, but rather than worry about it ending, I am starting to wonder if it is actually just the beginning. The special needs school that I worked at would like to try and do a similar thing next year, but since the agency can not offer this, we have asked our point of contact there to get in touch with us directly. This is something we plan to do with other schools and businesses too.

My boyfriend and I went out for my friend's birthday last night. I bought her a tarot deck as a gift. She had come around here after our run last week and I talked her through my collection of packs. Funnily enough, she chose the Morgan Greer for me to buy for her. She is very pleased with her copy and is excited about learning how to use it. It is something we can practice together, which I am looking forward to. We spent the evening in the pub and then all went back to another friend's house for a few quiet last drinks. After spending £25 on one round, my wallet was happy with that decision.

I am not sure how today's card relates today. It is one of self-protection and guarding. The guy in the helmet protects the rods behind him and doesn't take any chances. Since it doesn't make any immediate sense to me, I wonder if it is asking me to be prepared and keep my guard up.

My boyfriend and I have stayed at home today, since we were both a little tired after our socialising last night. We did have a good evening, so it was kind of worth it. We watched the football here in my room and popped out to get some stuff for dinner while a couple viewed the house. My mum said that the man was a little rude, so she doubts they will make an offer.
