Today's cards were quite literal. The Ten of Pentacles is me holding up the fort. I had to pick up some groceries for the house, and it was a beautiful day so my kids and I walked to the store, thinking I was only going to pick up a couple things. Turns out all these wonderful things were on sale (2 for 1), that I just couldn't resist. The cart filled up, and we left the store, quite forgetting we had to walk back. I filled up a backpack and a huge tote bag, but we still had grocery bags left. So there I am, in the Ten of Wands, with way too many bags to carry. Luckily I have kids old enough to help. So my son got the backpack, and my daughters made backpacks out of a grocery bags, while taking turns holding another bag. I had the huge tote bag and another two bags. It was a funny sight, all of us trudging the half mile or so back home. Thankfully it was gorgeous weather, slightly cool and windy, so at least we weren't sweating. (There's always a bright side.)
The Four of Wands... funny, when I was in the store, I paused briefly in the wine aisle, tempted. I never drink, and I detest the taste of wine, but I entertained the idea. I knew I'd never drink it, so I didn't get it. But that's what I thought of when I got back home and looked at the cards I had drawn this morning, with the Four of Wands woman kicking back with a glass of alcohol. (This deck is chock full of raging alcoholics.)
The Four of Wands is me, plopping down on the couch when we got home, feeling how good it was to be sitting after that walk carrying such a heavy load. I had myself a a quick rest before even putting the groceries away. Home sweet home.

Nice one, Kiki. I like the 'drink' aspect of the card. I guess it could stand for anything - a cup of tea, a telephone conversation, reading a page from a magazine - anything which relaxes you.
PL
Chocolate is my alcohol. :)
Tut Tut. Has thee forgotten the card of wretched excess? hehe
Very cool. Love your readings, as always. I totally know that feeling. Before I ever drove, which was later than a lot of people, I walked everywhere and took the bus.
Sometimes it sucked because I would buy groceries and I, like you, would forget that I'd have to walk quite a few blocks back home. I remember several occasions where I would have SIX bags on each arm! LAUGH.
Going uphill both ways in the snow, right? Laugh!
Glad you're home relaxing.
I highly suggest sangria. You can make one bottle of wine stretch and it has a very low alcohol content. Fruit juice, wine, sparkling water and a cinnamon stick or couple bags of spice tea. Really yummy and not rummy. I like to make it for my art classes as a last class 'celebration', which I think I've already mentioned to you.
;D
PL... ROFL @ Wretched Excess. My what a great memory you have!! It's VEGAN chocolate now, my dear. I have graduated. My conscious is clear and my mouth is happy. Win-win! :)
Celeste... LOL @ uphill both ways in the snow! Yes, I actually thought of you in the wine aisle, b/c they had sangria! :)
Dear Housewives Tarot, should I have a drink to calm my nerves?
Yes.
Should I maybe have 2 drinks.
Yes.
Should I just go ahead and finish the whole bottle.
Absolutely.
I luff you, Houshewivess Tarot *hic*
