Boy, what a week it's been! I planned on writing and publishing this many days ago, but life happened, as life does. Hubs and I had to make an impromptu trip to Manila to visit the doc at Veteran Affairs; he's been feeling under the weather for about two weeks and we wanted to make sure it wasn't something serious. Unfortunately, we still don't have a concrete answer as to why he's feeling bad, but his blood work came back all right, so at least that's some good news.
While in Manila I had to make a stop at Starbucks and grab a venti chai tea latte. I savored every bit (no Starbucks on the island). I was hoping they'd be serving the pumpkin spice lattes, but I guess it doesn't make much sense to offer them in a country that doesn't experience autumn weather.
Anywho, for this week's post I thought I'd do something a little different, something fun: tarotscopes (tarot horoscope)!
So I'm pulling my Gaian Tarot deck out of its red silk pouch and randomly choosing a card for each sun sign.

You might be experiencing much sorrow and grief, sleepless nights or a head full of negative voices and questioning critics.
