This week has been all about Explorer dry dock. There was a contractor meeting that I attended for the presentations, and managed to escape the breakouts. I was scheduled dead last, so that was kind of a waste since everyone was petrified by that point.
I was also engaged to sit on Silhouette for a couple of weeks for Eric Guerra to get away for some relief. Thats from 1/19-2/1 and is in Cadiz.
Had dinner with Eric Sanchez last night, and he was really glad to see me. It seems like he has been in a funk with some antisocial moods and no desire to carouse or go out. I think he may be getting into the more mature mindset where all the crazy drama of scattered and broken friends in his life are getting too much to bear. I also think he has just seen the same movie enough times that it is getting less interesting any more. In any case, he does need a casual friend that comes with no baggage and he does not have to pretend or be a host to make it work.
I have been drawing tarot twice every day, with only one exception. I am a little creeped out by how the same themes keep coming up over and over again, even the specific cards. I keep seeing the King of Cups, which is a mentor of some kind. It is driving me crazy understanding what this is meaning.
On the stress relaxation side, I got a bed of nails and a hot water bottle to match. I have to admit, I am a little weirded out by how well it is working. There is something about the way it works which gets my spine to release and realign. I am not sure I will take it to dry dock, but I think maybe the hot water bottle will make it at least.
I have been giving my planner constant thought as I use the Productive Flourishing example. So I started a requirements document on Drive for my thoughts and ideas. I really like the thought of Tarot randomness injecting some creative chaos to reshape the lens of my regular activities. The idea of using work tasks to make me a better person, as a kind of gymnasium, really appeals to me.
