First to post, first to fall off the horse!
(So to speak. I didn't actually fall off a horse. But it wouldn't be the first time a large mammal disrupted my tarot schedule -- I used to be a stablehand!)
After spending Thursday to Sunday in and out of the hospital for painful, scary, but ultimately non-life-threatening reasons, I found myself having a tough time keeping my brain on track with my ODW. All weekend, I kept thinking, "God, I wish I had a good solid RWS in my hands right now!" and generally feeling fed up with Marseilles in general. For what reason? I hain't the foggiest. But if I had to guess, I'd think it's most likely just that human thing where you associate discomfort with whatever you're doing at the time, whether it be listening to a certain song or walking down a certain road. I did that last year with a novel I was writing, while waiting to find out some enormously scary news -- I finished the novel this year so that I could stop associating it with that time in my life! Brains are funny.
Which is essentially a long-winded way of saying that I'm taking a quick break to reorient myself -- mostly physically,
blek -- and will return next week, possibly with a slightly altered rule-set for m'self.
It sucks, but it's Necessary, so I don't feel too bad about it.
I've really been enjoying reading everyone's posts! I love that everyone is embracing the One Deck Wonder spirit, making your own rules, bending the original concept to make it fit for you and your life. I'm so glad all of you are coming along for the ride, and I'll be back shortly to catch the next train.
(And Elendil -- I'm sure we can help devise a set of rules for you! We're here for support, after all, and brainstorming is the best kind of support. Stick around, we'll miss you if you leave!)
