Paperwork, perhaps contracts or other legal documents of some kind, might need attention so you can move ahead with some of your projects. These projects could involve writing or speaking. Your mind is in just the right space to participate in anything involving communication, Cancer, and doors of opportunity may open up for you in this field. Gird your loins and get to it. You'll be glad you did.

tarot card of the day

Death
First: You're not going to die! While it may look intense, the Death card isn't suggesting that you're headed on the road to your demise. Instead, the primary lesson to learn from this card is that change is inevitable. Things begin, and things end. Then things begin again. Absent of fear, be ready for sudden change. Letting go can lead to a powerful transformation.
While the depiction of a human skull may be unsettling, it's a reminder that none of us—not kings nor any others in power—can truly control what comes next. But we can choose how we respond to it. In the card we don't just see a skull, we also see blooming flowers. So, Death isn't just the end; it's also the beginning. A rebirth. The sooner we accept that, the faster we'll grow.

 hope you stay safe this holiday weekend. 

it is so easy to get injured by fireworks set off at home, or being reckless on a boat out in the water, or even drunk/buzzed driving.

Doritos Protein

 saw these at wal-mart a few days ago & decided to try them.

there are tow flavors; nacho cheese and sweet & tangy BBQ, we got the latter.

protein loaded stuff always has an odd taste, these things included. plus, they have a weird texture. like grains of something (protein?) were put on them.

will not get again. and we have to remember not to get anymore of these protein loaded things. 

summer-like weather

 it been hot for awhile, but now it's supposed to cool off.

and there have been a lot of thunderstorms.  which is typical of the hotter, summer weather.

my birthday

Today you might decide to do some repairs or decorating in your home. You'll have a lot of good ideas welling up from deep within you, Gemini, and be astute enough to put them to work in the real world. You might not feel much like talking, however. Therefore, don't be surprised if communication is more subtle than overt today.

tarrot card of the day
Justice

If you've been wondering whether the universe can be fair, now is the time to start believing that you'll get the outcome that you deserve. Is that positive or negative? Only you know the answer. The Justice card, however, signifies that whatever you've got going on will be solved with whatever fairness exists out in the cosmos. That doesn't always mean you'll get the outcome you want. But it does mean that order will soon be restored.
In her right hand, Justice holds a scale with a heart on it (emotion). While in her left, her scale holds a skull (logic). She walks across a sword, blindfolded. This represents the calm, rational mind that she needs in order to make decisions clearly—without catering too heavily to her heart or her head. If one scale were to tip, it would throw off balance. If you're to judge and be judged fairly, you must focus on all aspects of the situation before making a decision.

Lay’s Argentinian‑Style Steak with Chimichurri chips

 some kind of limited time thing for the FIFA world cup this year.

apparently they had this flavor out before were never saw it. there's also a Brazilian-Style Garlic Sauce and a Wavy French Onion Soup chip.  according to all-recipes lay's will have 40 flavors out, but most will not be in the united states. we have no interest in trying the french onion or the garlic sauce.

the flavor of these chips is overwhelming herbal of the chimichurri & nothing of the steak. 

will not get again. 

memorial day

 hope you had a nice memorial day weekend and avoided drinking too much. or avoided the people who did.

and if you're going to the store(s) for memorial day sales, hope you find a go deal.
