Day 9: I did it!

Day 9: I did it!

A sure sign I’ve fasted the day before is that I wake up at the crack of dawn after ‘only’ 6-7 hours sleep. Then, I’m either wide-eyed all day and can’t nap despite being physically tired OR I pass out for hours on end in the afternoon. Today’s the former. I tried napping but my mind wasn’t having it! It’s something I need to research a bit. I broke my fast at 10am, making it a 36,5-hour fast. Yay!! Although it’s useful to know, I didn’t measure ketones or blood sugar this morning.

I started a new book on my KIndle this afternoon. A bit of a summer read, I don’t remember the name. It’s been years since I last did some ‘light’ reading, and it’s just the thing to get me away from binge-watching too much Prime. We’ve cancelled Netflix for a bit too. 

Just noticed I’ve had some really good Tarot one-card pulls since I started this ‘project’:

  1. The Star
  2. The World
  3. Six of Wands
  4. Ace of Cups
  5. Hierophant (it was Full Moon)—————ground
  6. Page of Swords—————-new
  7. Ace of Pentacles————-try again
  8. Hermit———–meditate
  9. Emperor————learn

Looking at them all together like that, I can see there’s a lot of Yang energy, strong ‘male’ energy. I pull a Tarot card and one of my oracle cards every morning, and it’s really interesting to see how they support one another. I’m keeping notes of the pairs now, as I’m slowly going to start working on creating the deck and I think this information is going to be useful.. I couldn’t be happier with the sample deck I made.

Right then!  Off to read, do a little exercise and have a smoothie for dinner. Tonight I start another 36-hour fast (I’m aiming for 2 a week until Miquel finishes the work season).
