The little guy in this card looks as though he has had enough. He looks physically tired, as I feel, but it is his emotions which are spilling out for all to see. They spell disappointment, regret, and grief. My cards have really tuned into the feelings of others of late and I think that this is one is doing just that today. He could be representing at least three people in my life right now who are focusing on things which have gone wrong. With their eyes closed, they cannot see a way out of this spilt mess easily.
Today has been more than tiring. After sewing and making patterns yesterday, today began early and finished late. I work with an extremely enthusiastic and hardworking practitioner, but unfortunately, there is only one sewing machine and she is not so good at drawing and painting. She is based in drama and is absolutely wonderful with the kids, so she delegated how they should make the props. Taking on the other artistic sides of the set and costumes alone was just a little bit too much for me today. I was so tired and am surprised that I didn't drop off and miss my stop on the train coming home. When I got in, I had something to eat and then decided to take a nap before my boyfriend came over. I was out for the count in a matter of minutes.
As much as the 5 of Cups depicts the situations of those around me, the cat does remind me of myself as he nods off at the table. As great as it is to be busy, I must take care of myself and rest when I am not working. My boyfriend and I have laid on my bed this evening and continued to watch more episodes from the first Tudors DVD.
