I think I am an empath. I was in a cafe sitting opposite a couple. He was really being nasty to her and she was trying not to cry. I got really cross and willed her to stand up to him. Suddenly she stood up and told him to get lost and walked out. I worry about my friends a lot. To change my energy I paint.X
That’s funny because last night I was in a really weird mood (actually I’ve been in a weird mood for a while) and I don’t draw at all, but I suddenly felt like it, so I got out a couple of pieces of blank paper and drew to my heart’s content and it was really cathartic and soothing. I’m going to remember to do it more often. 💕
Jean shopping has always been sheer hell for me and yes if you find the comfy ones you've won the lottery! I have 3 daughters and always told them if the garment doesn't fit it's not you it's the the garment! There are so many differences in sizes manufacturing and sizes. So yes finding that pair of pants that fit is a little miracle😌😉❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🙊🙉🙈🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👖👖👖👖👖👖👖👖
LOL, definitely. I think of myself as an empath, and just this morning, while I was walking down the streets of Geneva, I passed a lady who sneezed as she walked by me. I spent the next five minutes debating whether I should have said 'bless you' to her, even though I didn’t know her and we were both pretty far apart. What a life.
Yes I too have that ‘weird empathic thing’ . I often fill in a back story for strangers. I think that is why I like reading so much; I become the character I’m reading about and feel their emotions as if they’re my own.
This brought back memories from years past, when you did it on your iPhone, nice. Empaths habitually do strange things that make people shake their heads. They don't mean to do it, it's just their way of protecting themselves. I speak from experience, way too much....... Oh.... well you know what they say "Hate us in the morning, love us at night". Take care sunshine.
When I was 10 years old I wrote a short story about a homeless person outside Charing Cross station, looking at the shoes of the commuters walking by and creating stories based on them…I’m a Scorpio and still think about it every time I commute through, 25 years later!
Please don't ever stop Mr plod. You have him to a T. I see people and I immediately start to think of their story. It's that simple but of course I can't keep doing that. I am important now. Ta Gemma. Denim jeans= horror shop movie. One day I'll find the perfect pair 😂❤
Gemma thanks as always. You're right about the empath thing. Going out is exhausting for me. I'm definitely an introvert and an INFP and a scorpio. Yikes! Lol Yes it's a lot! Bless you Gemma❤
I hate jeans shopping too! I love my skinny jeans 👖 but they're no longer fashionable. I tried on loads of different jeans in H&M and was thrilled to find some fashionable flared ones that are comfortable, only to have my mother say, "Oh Louie, they're really not your best look..." Thanks, Mum! Thanks Gemma 💖 from Australia xx 🦘
Jean shopping - oy! Last time I did that, I decided to go to a shop where they specialize in jeans, and the person working there listened to what I wanted, looked me over, and selected pairs for me to try on. One and only one fit me, so I closed my eyes and handed them my credit card. That was the best jean shopping experience I’ve ever had, but they need to last b/c they were not cheap. I resonate with what you said about being an empath for sure. Great reading - as per usual - thank you Gemma!❤❤❤
I've always hated it too, trying on jeans!! It's actually a little better now . I bought a new pair of jeans recently from the children's section and the were sooo soft. I am very pleased 😅💙
Wow -- Excellent reading, Gemma! Love these cards, too -- love the artwork and imagery! I'm with you with jeans shopping . . . or any pants. My issue is with the length, always way too long, however I have very good luck with purchasing Lee jeans from Amazon . . . great fit and design, well-made, and great price. Yes, I'm very empathic and want to help everyone. Sometimes people just need someone there for them to simply listen, for moral support without judgement, which I think is very rare.
I completely understand what you mean. When I’m walking out in public I try to focus on the buildings or trees around me or else I get completely distracted if I focus on someone. Being downtown, it’s not always an easy thing to do because there’s always a lot going on. 😅 I get completely overwhelmed when I go into the grocery store because there’s no way to avoid everyone. When there’s big sporting events or right before a holiday, forget about it (said in a New Yorker accent 😂) can’t escape it. Hope you have a wonderful day!! Thank you, Gemma 😊
Jean shopping 👖 oh boy! Any kind of clothing shopping really. Always grateful when I can take in more than 10 items! I'm lucky if I find one, that's okay! Always grateful to find one that fits good 👍🏻 🙏🏻 🙌🏻 ✨️ yes!
On the rare occasion that I find perfect jeans worthy of buying I always buy two or three pairs. Empathy for me is mostly seeing the other person's point of view without my own assumptions. When I dim my own assumptions and beliefs, other people become more clear to me.
This reading describes my favorite kinds of days, and as a creative I try to have at least one of them a week if not more. Love the jeans stories. 🤭:💯 Namaste 🙏❤
Hi Gemma, yes to the jeans and well any clothing trying on cubicles really. They are challenging. Always regret not buying two pairs of the best fit fabulous jeans later. Or shoes... Yes for the hanged man energy. Very tired just now but the thought of hot chocolate sounds like a good plan. Thank you😊❤♓ xxx
I’ve decided I should always buy two of something if it fits me because I always regret it later. I bought a pair of shoes about five years ago, and then wished I would’ve bought more and I looked online and found a store that sold used shoes! So I bought three more pairs, but you have to be careful because they don’t take returns. Thank goodness they were all in good shape though. I can’t remember the name of the store! Well, that figures.
Elegant knight of pentacles, I have to imagine that voice❤ hanged man does look different like she is floating like a dolphin in captivity. I don’t make stories for other people unless I’m trying to understand their behavior. I do enjoy your window reflections of people outside.
I hate jeans shopping. However, I hate leggings and I will not wear them. After a successful jeans procurement I feel invincible and I really should celebrate. It's an ordeal.
I haven’t been swimming in a long time because all of the lakes around here are filled with poisonous algae from runoff because of chemicals, but I remember the last time I bought a swimsuit it was such a trial that I kept it for ages. The last time I wore it, it almost fell off me because the elastic had deteriorated! It would’ve been funny except I really loved that suit and I wish I had 10 of them. Hopefully someday I will find some water that isn’t polluted.
@@whitebirchtarot It’s mostly swimming pools for me. I did swim in the Pacific when I went to Hawaii about 1.5 years ago. I wore swim shorts and a long sleeved sun shirt to protect my skin. Of course I had on reef safe sunscreen as well which turned me whiter than I already am. 😂 I’m sorry about your suit. It can be hard to find something that looks good and is comfortable.
Weird empathic thing is finding the line between stories and illusion and plain facts. I’m stained glass artist and using my imagination of course helps! My downfall is though that too much time on my own makes me go a bit loopy in my imagination but then venturing out and meeting people can be too overwhelming as I pick up on all sorts of info on people. A balance is needed but I have not quite achieved yet!
I'm with you on the jeans shopping - I HATE it 😑 It takes so much effort! They fit weirdly. But I love wearing them 🤷♀️ I get drained very quickly being out & about, and feel as though I should help people who look sad, but I'm trying to fix my saviour complex. The worst is when I give some change to a homeless person, then beat myself up for not giving them more, or not giving them my coat. I always feel as though I should do more. I like the Knight of Pentacles - slow progress is good 🦀
Definitely an empath and definitely make up little stories about people (which can be extra jarring if you ever meet them and learn you were WAAAY off base -- but funny if you were right!). 😆 P.S. A HUGE tropical storm is about to ram into the Southeastern US and while Florida below us is going to get hit the worst, even up here in Atlanta, GA it's going to be rough (almost hurricane-level winds and loads of rain). So keep your fingers crossed for us to get through this all right! Eep! Praying to Poseidon and Zeus right now...😟
I read some time ago that one of the women's jeans brands (maybe Lei?) did a survey and found that women on average try on 15 pairs of jeans before finding the right pair, so good on you, Gemma, for getting it done in 10. Fortunately, that's all behind me now, ever since I found J Jill jeans' boyfriend cut - they are perfect for me, so that's what I buy exclusively. That's my advice - find a brand you like and then stick with it. Save yourself a lot of frustration.
Manoeuverance - genuis. Goodness, I've been considering going jeans shopping - maybe not! With jeans, they're so basic and yet the variations are endless, and there's a whole metalanguage around them that I don't know! Discombobulating and strenuous. Empath? Yes. It takes careful management, but with that there are such opportunities to make people happy.
Ohhh G, I just wear jeggings, lol, mainly for work - stretchy, comfy, I would highly recommend, lol ❤❤ I hate clothes shopping, always have 🙄🙄😬 xx Yeah, I think I do have empathatic tendencies, but I am a Pisces ❤❤❤
I’m 4 months pregnant and I went shopping yesterday too. TJ Maxx 😆 too small for maternity clothes and too big for my normal clothes. It’s a weird transition. Jean shopping is truly a special type of hell.
A murmuration. Lovely reading for a long train journey through the Polish countryside, rain lightly tapping against the carriage window. Imagination rabbit holes. My mum once remarked I could turn a trip to the greengrocer's into a novel. Reader: I boiled them. 🥕🥔🥬
I’m on your wave length over jeans shopping 😂 I’ve found perfectly fitting jeans in Next but, when I go back, because I feel the need to own a back up pair, they don’t fit the same. How can that be and why 😭
Yes, jeans shopping is the worst! The last pair I bought are comfortable, but they’re way too long for me and I don’t sew, so I’ve decided I’m just going to fold them where I want them and staple them. When I was younger and at work or at school and a hem would start to come down on a skirt, I would just grab a stapler, and it worked perfectly. I’m going to pretend that that’s the style. I also hate bra shopping. I’m going to invent a line of bras for older women because the other ones don’t work anymore! (and actually, we could probably use a line of jeans because certain parts of our bodies expand and certain parts shrink, unfortunately.) And yes, anytime I see a person who looks sad, I don’t necessarily make a story about them in my head, but I do dither about whether or not I should go to them and ask if they need any help. Sometimes I do and sometimes I don’t. I’ve never had anybody be resentful or angry and sometimes I have actually been able to help someone. But since I’m in the States, I have to be careful because there’s a lot of violence here. I like this reading. I loved it when you said, “making things pretty while you wait.“ Yep, that’s about the best I can do right now. Thank you, Gemma! 💕💕
THAT is an empath's mind lol, at least it's mine;) This is one of the reasons I love the Gemstone tarot community to know that I am not alone with my struggles of intuitive monkey mind and the subsequential introversion because of it, I used to think it was "a bit mad" before I understood it, and....trying on mom jeans oof, just sucks especially after a summer of leg freedom.
Quite a few years ago I was taking a walk in my local park the Saturday after Thanksgiving when I encountered two children; older sister and young brother inappropriately dressed. They had on their school uniforms with no coats. They were walking with their heads down and looking embarrassed. I asked the sister if they were OK and if they needed anything. Could I call anyone for them? She said they were fine. Think she said they lost their key but her parents would be home soon. I didn't want to hassle or frighten her but I wasn't leaving it as it stood. I did call the police. I think they were deliberately locked out of the house. Even if my instincts were wrong about being locked out of the house the police could provide a warm car to wait in until their parents returned.
I gave up on wearing jeans long ago- if it isn’t soft like pjs, I can’t wear it- I do have a pair of really soft flowy jeans that I love but too small- yes, that IS an empaths mind- so willing to sacrifice myself and risk my heart for the well being of others
Sweetie, I love your imagination, and I do exactly the same thing with people I see. W ithin seconds of seeing something interesting, I have invented a saga in my mind. I also have Audhd, so I will be doing this instead of remebering everything I was supposed to do. But yay for imagination.
I accidentally missed this reading and watched the Friday one first, so now I’m playing catch-up. I do make up stories about people and I’m realizing that, when it comes to my near and dear, it would really behoove me to ask 😅 As for jeans, here goes the rant: I’ve always had a hard time with them. I’m 5’2” (on a good day) and they’re almost always too long, or the “high waist” is up around my armpits… and if they fit my thighs, they’re too loose on the waist. Then, because I live in America where most people are quite large, I’m often swamped by the smallest size available. I think if I shopped in Asia I might have better luck, but probably be depressed at suddenly being “extra large” 😅 If by some miracle I find a pair of jeans thay fit, they inevitably have back pockets that are too far apart or strangely small, or a zipper that’s weirdly short compared to the front seam. Btw, your seamless bottoms are probably meant to look like cool cut offs 😂 This is all fresh in my mind because, while I mostly wear leggings, I’d really like to have one pair of jeans for work, and I’ve had a complete strike out. Here in the US our dressing rooms tend to be mercifully large, and sometimes the mirrors are even good, but the lighting is always horrible. Not only do they exhaust, and reveal every bump and bulge, but also hairs you failed to tweeze and lines you didn’t know you had. I try to go into emotional neutral.
I am an empath and an introvert. As such I try to get out and do the things I need to as early as possible in the morning to avoid as much human contact as possible. I don't like the way the strange,foreign energy seeps into my own energy field. I've mentioned this so many times but my grand water trine is a blessing and a curse.
Have you ever tried to imagine yourself walking around in a bubble of light that reflects everything away from you? I don’t know if that would work or not, but sometimes I do that when I’m feeling really anxious and it helps me. I have a grand fire trine! Grand trines (or any trines) can be very difficult because the energy flows so easily that we have no control over it really. So you’re right; they are a blessing and a curse. Mine is between my Moon, Mars, and my ascendant, and if I have a physical symptom, I have absolutely no idea whether it’s physical or emotional because it feels exactly the same. So confusing!
I absolutely hate shopping for jeans. It is positively awful, and it often ends in me sort of sobbing, and mad, an all bad emotions. Last time I've shopped for a pair was something like 2017-2019, I think. Not interested in going for jeans. I definitely can commiserate with you Gemma.
Hihi I also make up stories about people, I dint know if they're true or not. I've always thought that this was some kind if professional damage, since I work with psychiatric patients. But maybe it's an empath thing❤
Not a jeans person, but have leggings dilemmas 😂. I sometimes create scenarios when people watching in a cafe, but more frequently (and most most embarrassing) if I'm at the vet and someone has lost a pet I get very upset and tearful or if someone tells me a sad story about the loss of a pet.
Gemma I have empathy too. Honed more by the counselling qualification but I read on a meme recently that your subconscious only knows you which sparked a thought so all the things I think about others does my subconscious think it’s me !! Another meme also said that’s why you have to be careful what you think and say about others due to the subconscious not knowing the difference. If that is true WOW what are you supposed to do haha 🫶
I hate to say but last Jean shop was ok went to next wanted straight or A cut leg as lived in skinny for years out of fashion now ! Picked one of each up went to fitting room first pair (straight leg) fit perfect so comfy look good 😅👖👖👖👖also never owned a pair of leggings or trainers before Covid but now live in them forced myself to get jeans swore would never wear leggings or trainers again 🤣🤣now only wear jeans if going to town or coffee with friends 🤣long live leggings 🤣🤣🦀🦀🦀🦀
It has never made sense to me or my daughters that the men's jeans in America come with precise sizing for waist and inseam, but women's are just numbers - 6, 10, 12, etc - as if women don't have the more complexity in our sizing!
I don't think I'm an empath. I do sense bad vibes but on the whole because I've been through so much and no one and I mean no one has helped me, cared or listened I'm in live and let die mode
oh, that's terrible you haven't gotten support and care when you needed it, I can relate to an extent, often helping others but when I need help everyone is too wrapped up in their own lives to truly show up. wishing you joy, peace and strength
I hear what you mean by being a empath of sort but, you stay on the same subject way too long and you don't give a get to the point full reading and that's not a good thing. If you only want to talk about jeans and and empath topics then you should create a new page and teach people about the principal's and ways to become a very good empath psychic or medium and stop giving daily readings because you're not able to get to the point quickly.
My car decided today to stop on the road for 20 minutes and not be able to go any further. The previously free road decided to go into sudden rush hour mode at that moment. Fortunately, I was so preoccupied with myself and my not-yet-beyond-patterns that my empathic compassion for the other road users wondering what that stupid cow is doing on the road or can't even push the car aside and so on, didn´t bother me anymore... It just bounced off my waters... 😪☺In addition, I probably just shouldn't have left the house today, wearing really comfortable but the ugliest jeans and so on...Luckily, my car changed its mind or refuelled power, because it is completely healthy. Probably we were just attacked too much..The colors of the cards match excellent my day and I'm now going into the hanged man hermit mode.. I'm also claiming the 9of cups because I really need them right now..😂

When I was 10 years old I wrote a short story about a homeless person outside Charing Cross station, looking at the shoes of the commuters walking by and creating stories based on them…I’m a Scorpio and still think about it every time I commute through, 25 years later!
I wonder what would happen if you wrote the sequel now 🙏🩷📚
Best description of jeans shopping!! Ty for the reading.
Please don't ever stop Mr plod. You have him to a T. I see people and I immediately start to think of their story. It's that simple but of course I can't keep doing that. I am important now. Ta Gemma. Denim jeans= horror shop movie. One day I'll find the perfect pair 😂❤
Gemma thanks as always. You're right about the empath thing. Going out is exhausting for me. I'm definitely an introvert and an INFP and a scorpio. Yikes! Lol Yes it's a lot! Bless you Gemma❤
I always worry or feel bad for people if they’re walking or sleeping alone and then I look at their faces and know if they’re happy or sad
I hate jeans shopping too!
I love my skinny jeans 👖 but they're no longer fashionable. I tried on loads of different jeans in H&M and was thrilled to find some fashionable flared ones that are comfortable, only to have my mother say, "Oh Louie, they're really not your best look..."

Jeans shopping is about as much fun as bathing suit 👙 shopping. Ugh. 😂
True! Both such a drag. It’s so much trying on and off on and off it’s exasperating!
Plus Exhausting! 🥵

Unfinished hems. Sometimes they work. Sometimes they fray away rapidly and after a dozen washes you've got crop jeans.

Opening up to grace..slowly lol and failing a lot
Yes-the empath thing is real n can get one into a lot of emotional trouble😢
Ohhh G, I just wear jeggings, lol, mainly for work - stretchy, comfy, I would highly recommend, lol ❤❤

Sometimes I do and sometimes I don’t. I’ve never had anybody be resentful or angry and sometimes I have actually been able to help someone. But since I’m in the States, I have to be careful because there’s a lot of violence here. I like this reading. I loved it when you said, “making things pretty while you wait.“ Yep, that’s about the best I can do right now. Thank you, Gemma! 💕💕
THAT is an empath's mind lol, at least it's mine;) This is one of the reasons I love the Gemstone tarot community to know that I am not alone with my struggles of intuitive monkey mind and the subsequential introversion because of it, I used to think it was "a bit mad" before I understood it, and....trying on mom jeans oof, just sucks especially after a summer of leg freedom.
Quite a few years ago I was taking a walk in my local park the Saturday after Thanksgiving when I encountered two children; older sister and young brother inappropriately dressed. They had on their school uniforms with no coats. They were walking with their heads down and looking embarrassed. I asked the sister if they were OK and if they needed anything. Could I call anyone for them? She said they were fine. Think she said they lost their key but her parents would be home soon. I didn't want to hassle or frighten her but I wasn't leaving it as it stood. I did call the police. I think they were deliberately locked out of the house. Even if my instincts were wrong about being locked out of the house the police could provide a warm car to wait in until their parents returned.
I gave up on wearing jeans long ago- if it isn’t soft like pjs, I can’t wear it- I do have a pair of really soft flowy jeans that I love but too small- yes, that IS an empaths mind- so willing to sacrifice myself and risk my heart for the well being of others
Sweetie, I love your imagination, and I do exactly the same thing with people I see. W ithin seconds of seeing something interesting, I have invented a saga in my mind. I also have Audhd, so I will be doing this instead of remebering everything I was supposed to do. But yay for imagination.
I accidentally missed this reading and watched the Friday one first, so now I’m playing catch-up. I do make up stories about people and I’m realizing that, when it comes to my near and dear, it would really behoove me to ask 😅 As for jeans, here goes the rant: I’ve always had a hard time with them. I’m 5’2” (on a good day) and they’re almost always too long, or the “high waist” is up around my armpits… and if they fit my thighs, they’re too loose on the waist. Then, because I live in America where most people are quite large, I’m often swamped by the smallest size available. I think if I shopped in Asia I might have better luck, but probably be depressed at suddenly being “extra large” 😅 If by some miracle I find a pair of jeans thay fit, they inevitably have back pockets that are too far apart or strangely small, or a zipper that’s weirdly short compared to the front seam. Btw, your seamless bottoms are probably meant to look like cool cut offs 😂 This is all fresh in my mind because, while I mostly wear leggings, I’d really like to have one pair of jeans for work, and I’ve had a complete strike out. Here in the US our dressing rooms tend to be mercifully large, and sometimes the mirrors are even good, but the lighting is always horrible. Not only do they exhaust, and reveal every bump and bulge, but also hairs you failed to tweeze and lines you didn’t know you had. I try to go into emotional neutral.
You look cute in jeans!
I definitely have weird empathic things.
Yes I have a healthy imagination for other ....I can definitely READ a room lolol
I am an empath and an introvert. As such I try to get out and do the things I need to as early as possible in the morning to avoid as much human contact as possible. I don't like the way the strange,foreign energy seeps into my own energy field. I've mentioned this so many times but my grand water trine is a blessing and a curse.
Have you ever tried to imagine yourself walking around in a bubble of light that reflects everything away from you? I don’t know if that would work or not, but sometimes I do that when I’m feeling really anxious and it helps me. I have a grand fire trine! Grand trines (or any trines) can be very difficult because the energy flows so easily that we have no control over it really. So you’re right; they are a blessing and a curse. Mine is between my Moon, Mars, and my ascendant, and if I have a physical symptom, I have absolutely no idea whether it’s physical or emotional because it feels exactly the same. So confusing!
I absolutely hate shopping for jeans. It is positively awful, and it often ends in me sort of sobbing, and mad, an all bad emotions. Last time I've shopped for a pair was something like 2017-2019, I think. Not interested in going for jeans. I definitely can commiserate with you Gemma.
When recording on your phone the light is very bright. 😊
Hihi I also make up stories about people, I dint know if they're true or not. I've always thought that this was some kind if professional damage, since I work with psychiatric patients. But maybe it's an empath thing❤
Murmuration of birds🎈
Thank you. I was trying to think of that word!
The rough edge hem is a thing...LOL
For me it’s just I don’t want to be bothered by small talk.
Not a jeans person, but have leggings dilemmas 😂. I sometimes create scenarios when people watching in a cafe, but more frequently (and most most embarrassing) if I'm at the vet and someone has lost a pet I get very upset and tearful or if someone tells me a sad story about the loss of a pet.
Oh gosh, me too. If anyone says anything sad about an animal, I just start sobbing and I can’t stop.
Gemma I have empathy too. Honed more by the counselling qualification but I read on a meme recently that your subconscious only knows you which sparked a thought so all the things I think about others does my subconscious think it’s me !! Another meme also said that’s why you have to be careful what you think and say about others due to the subconscious not knowing the difference. If that is true WOW what are you supposed to do haha 🫶
I hate to say but last Jean shop was ok went to next wanted straight or A cut leg as lived in skinny for years out of fashion now ! Picked one of each up went to fitting room first pair (straight leg) fit perfect so comfy look good 😅👖👖👖👖also never owned a pair of leggings or trainers before Covid but now live in them forced myself to get jeans swore would never wear leggings or trainers again 🤣🤣now only wear jeans if going to town or coffee with friends 🤣long live leggings 🤣🤣🦀🦀🦀🦀
Jeans fashion here on Australia is shiiiiit!
They are all sacks.
Almost impossible to find a decent pair 😅
It has never made sense to me or my daughters that the men's jeans in America come with precise sizing for waist and inseam, but women's are just numbers - 6, 10, 12, etc - as if women don't have the more complexity in our sizing!

I don't think I'm an empath. I do sense bad vibes but on the whole because I've been through so much and no one and I mean no one has helped me, cared or listened I'm in live and let die mode
oh, that's terrible you haven't gotten support and care when you needed it, I can relate to an extent, often helping others but when I need help everyone is too wrapped up in their own lives to truly show up. wishing you joy, peace and strength
@kimscheidt9521 I wish you the same. I'm sorry no one has helped you too. I have faith that karma and the universe do give some revenge.
I’m so sorry to hear that. I’m very isolated, but every once in a while I meet someone who helps me and I’m so grateful. I wish that for you. 💕💕
I hear what you mean by being a empath of sort but, you stay on the same subject way too long and you don't give a get to the point full reading and that's not a good thing. If you only want to talk about jeans and and empath topics then you should create a new page and teach people about the principal's and ways to become a very good empath psychic or medium and stop giving daily readings because you're not able to get to the point quickly.
My car decided today to stop on the road for 20 minutes and not be able to go any further. The previously free road decided to go into sudden rush hour mode at that moment. Fortunately, I was so preoccupied with myself and my not-yet-beyond-patterns that my empathic compassion for the other road users wondering what that stupid cow is doing on the road or can't even push the car aside and so on, didn´t bother me anymore... It just bounced off my waters... 😪☺In addition, I probably just shouldn't have left the house today, wearing really comfortable but the ugliest jeans and so on...Luckily, my car changed its mind or refuelled power, because it is completely healthy. Probably we were just attacked too much..The colors of the cards match excellent my day and I'm now going into the hanged man hermit mode.. I'm also claiming the 9of cups because I really need them right now..😂
Jean shopping exhausting! 🥵
