School starts Monday so this is my last weekend before the quarter. I am seriously going to try to drop my morning math class. It shouldn't be a big deal since financial aid counts 12 credits as full time and I should have about 12. Need to see what happens on Monday.

Rob and I have been discussing what to do with our commute. When I get a full-time job in downtown Seattle, we would like to move into downtown and have selected a likely target, the Harbor Steps. That means selling my condo, scaling down the contents of our life and even getting rid of the cars.

Funny thing is, I would never have considered such drastic steps, but during his hour-long commutes over the past two years, Rob has been plotting ways to cut the time and distance he travels to work, so has the finances figured out and everything. Those are long commutes :) There's other places to live downtown, and no doubt we'll start a more serious look-see after I have a firm job offer.

I bought a new deck of tarot cards the other day (as Rob put it, "spending my entire day's wages" which at $10/hr is very likely true). I spent some time looking at the art on each card and then trying to see if I could guess what that card meant before looking it up in the little fold out that comes in each box. Mostly I got them 'right' which made me very pleased. The thing is, I don't believe in tarot card readings necessarily, but I believe that we can find signs when we look for them. Looking for them and interpreting them is what most of us miss. So, when I'm looking at these cards, it's helping me become more aware of what could be signals that I might want to keep in mind. When I do readings in the little game, sometimes I use what knowledge I have about the person I'm reading for, but often I haven't a clue what's going on with them -- and either way, I've heard them tell other folks how remarkably accurate the reading was. Heh :) Maybe I'm more in touch with signs and signals than I give myself credit for.
