Ten Of Swords: Nothing In the Tank

10 Swords

Haven’t written on this blog for a few days and figured I should say something but nope, I got nothing in the tank. We’re halfway through the school term and my brain is beginning to melt from processing the million things I need to remember to do my job well, my youngest daughter just had her birthday and made her deb, my eldest has needed help keeping track of some medical appointments, I’ve been chatting to someone on an online dating site (as you do when you’re single, nah, actually, it’s really rare for me, but why not?) and I’ve been trying to manage some minor renovations, not to mention get rid of those $#*!? rats in the roof. Sigh. I’m mentally fried.

Anyone else out there know that feeling?

Four Of Swords: Sweet Sweet Sleep

4 Swords

I’ve just woken up from a 12 hour sleep coma, oh the bliss. I’m a big fan of the weekend lie in. I tend to run on empty during the week but I black out Saturday and Sunday mornings on my schedule as much as possible to enable me to stay in bed until I wake. And always feel better for it. Too many people seem to undervalue the therapeutical benefits of a good night’s sleep and don’t factor it into their busy lifestyles. They just grab what rest they can around the edges of their lives. Personally, I think this is a big mistake. Tiredness leads to poor decision making and a loss of enjoyment in life. Or worse. I’ve witnessed first hand how the inability to sleep can be a major factor in mental health issues.

The Four Of Swords card represents time out from the stresses of daily life and nothing gives you a mental pick-me-up quicker than a good night’s sleep. I highly recommend it.

What about you? Are you good at sleeping or terrible at it?
