My new favorite drink

I’ve never liked tea, coffee or herbal tea, even though I’ve tried many times.  As for coffee, I rarely drink it but when I do I prefer mocaccino coffee that they sell in small bags.  Because of my insomnia, I’ve tried all sort of herbal teas but I’ve never liked any of them.  Up until now anyway.  I found this herbal tea

at the grocery store.  I really love this herbal tea and I’ve gotten used to drink it often.  I’ve bought it these last months at the grocery store, but this month I could not find any, not even at the mall and the two pharmacies I checked.  It looks like I’ll have no other choice but to buy it at Amazon.ca from now on. 

Not in the mood

To be frank the reason I do not post readings anymore is because I’m not in the mood at all to use tarot or any oracle, or to do anything related to tarot.  I’m also not in the mood to buy more decks as well.  It’s been over a year that I’ve been feeling this way.  It’s not the first time it has happened, and it won’t be the last.  And I’ve seen people on Aeclectic Tarot Forums in the last decade going through these phases as well, who come and go, and come back later.

Diablo III

Personally I really like Diablo III, and after I started mode Nightmare with my 4 characters, I heard they were working on a new loot patch 2 which would make the loots better.  After you go through the game on normal mode, the main reason to play after is to get better gears, so I decided to stop completely playing my alts and wait for the patch, which took around 9 months.  It’s a good thing that I’m patient, and instead I played my hardcore monk that I had made.

The new loot patch occurred a bit before the launch of the expansion Reaper of Souls and Blizzard had for 3 weeks an extra 50% XP boost.  My characters were around level 33-34, and I was worried they would never reach maximum level, so I was really happy about this, and I used the boost in question to get all my 4 alts to level 60.  So I’m really proud to see that my characters are so high level.  With the expansion the maximum level has been raised to 70, but with them being at 60 already it will be easier to get them maximum level again.

I’ve played solely my monk and I’ve done the new act, which I find awesome.  Now my monk has reached maximum level of 70, and I’ve been doing bounties to raise my Paragon levels.  Right now my Paragon level is 29, and I’d like to get it up around 100-110.  I also prefer the new levels of difficulties that has come with the loot patch, the adventure mode, and the new Paragon system, because now all the alts share the same Paragon level, which means you just need to do it with one alt to level up Paragon, and all your alts have the same Paragon level too.

Here are signatures made with my characters, including my new born crusader, showing the classes, levels, etc.

 

A few disasters

I did not place well my stuff around my prosperity altar, and the bookcase on top of my commode almost fell.  All my tarot decks on top of the bookcase fell on my head, and I had to try to quickly grab my stuff on my commode, mostly other decks, to ensure they would not fall behind the commode.  In the accident my Ganesh statue broke so I have to replace it.  I’ve decided to buy a different one this time though, but it will have to go to april.

Also, my cat has not been feeling well for quite some time, has lost weight, and been leaving excrements right outside his litter.  Someone told me he’s constipated, and I’m really worried about my cat’s life right now since constipation in cats can lead to death if not treated.  So I’m going to go see a pet doctor in march, but in the meantime I’m really worried and scared about my cat and I want him to feel better as soon as possible.

A prosperity altar

My computer needs to be upgraded, and I’d like to replace my old white Ikea furnitures at some point.  I’d like that too to take german courses but they’re really expensive, like 500$ each course, really depressing.  So to help me in these tasks I’ve decided to create a permanent prosperity altar in my bedroom.  So I’ve been looking around for advices.

I’ve decided to get a statue of the god Ganesh.  The thing with Ganesh is that Ganesh is the Remover of Obstacles, he removes any obstacle to wealth, good fortune, success, or anything else when asked.  I think Ganesh should be very helpful in my home.  Here is a photo of the statue:

And I’ve decided to buy a statue of the goddess Fortuna, the goddess of good fortune, good luck, blessings, wealth, etc.  Here is a photo of the statue:

I have other items planned for my prosperity altar and I shall take a picture of the finished project.

My computer upgrades

My computer really needs an upgrade, and my mother said she will pay for me for Christmas (and my birthday in january) a small portion of the upgrades, so I’m really excited!  I will have to save all my money for that in the coming months in order to do that.  I won’t be able to buy anything like mangas or decks for quite a while.  The only thing I really plan to buy is the expansion of Diablo 3 that I’m really looking forward to.

Right now this is pretty much what I have in mind, as for the graphic card, I just wonder whether I should take the 2 Gig one or the 4 Gig one:

Yule coming

I’ve managed today to get from my locker all my Yule decorations.  I had tons of heavy boxes to transport but it was worth it.  It’s been years since I’ve been able to do that.  My previous apartment was too small for my decorations so I did not do anything there.  It’s been so long I don’t remember much about how my decorations look like, including my Yule tree and village.  I made many of them myself, most of my cross-stitch projects are Yule related so I only see them in that period.  I plan to take pictures of my decorations once they’re up.  As for my Advent calendar, I plan to take a picture after Yule.

My altar

I’ve finished arranging my altar in my new place so I took pictures.  I have now a little corner when I can put pagan stuff on the wall.  I have a few but I don’t have the nails necessary to place them on the wall.  I also have my bookshelf where I keep my books on Paganism, Wicca and various subjects.  I plan to replace it by a taller bookshelf at some point, because I’d like to put there too my books on tarot as well.
