The Pick-Me-Up

It is kind of strange to receive this butterfly again. It's like having a friend or angel looking down on me, as it continues to bring notice and information from out of thin air. I love some of the snowy landscapes in this deck. In this instance, it kind of gives the insect some zing; like the turning on of a light or the moment we get an idea.

Sometimes, the card brings news, but I also see it as an indication that I need to seek things out for myself. It's kind of telling me that the information is ready for retrieval. My laptop has been in the repairs for two weeks. It wasn't turning on properly and I thought I should get it checked out. Thinking about this butterfly, I got on the phone to Argos this morning. Not that I got far, because I waited for nine minutes and then ended up hanging up when nobody answered. With no other option, I walked to the store. The young guy on the Customer Services booth was very friendly but said it looked as though they didn't have any information just yet. After talking to his manager (since I had been waiting for longer than the ten days suggested), it turned out that my machine was sitting on a shelf at the back of the counter. Good news? Well, not exactly, since the repairers had said there was nothing wrong with it. In other words, I have been without it for two weeks for no reason, as they haven't repaired it. I am writing on it now, since my desktop computer had a fit this morning and did it's usual - bleeping at me like a psychotic budgerigar, before refusing to turn on. As always, I have got to leave it for a day, since that is how long it usually takes for it to get over it's tantrum. Modern technology, eh?

I am not sure if the Ace of Butterflies is due to bring any new information to my door. We have heard that a surveyor is coming to look at our house for our buyers, so it might represent that. Or it could have something to do with the lady from the Chronic Fatigue Centre, who called again after thinking about my situation, and shifted my appointment half an hour forward. I am still not entirely sure that it will help, but I appreciated the thought. I feel a little dazed, generally. I think that my walk to the doctors and Argos set that ball rolling. My friend is picking me up in a short while to take me out for a coffee. With no need to walk anywhere, I am hoping that her company will provide me with a bit of a pick me up.
