Loading ...Mojo made a comment about when it rains it pours for us Geminis. That certainly seems to be the case these days. I realise I haven’t blogged in a while. I suppose I’m trying to come to terms with the shock of having lost everything. Again.
Mostly I’m doing okay, for the moment. Talk to me again in a couple of days.
But it has been pouring. First I got fluey a couple of days before my eviction date, and packing became quite difficult between trips to the bathroom. The night before my move, the elevator broke down in my building, meaning I had to run up and down the stairs a couple of dozen times in one night, hauling out the stuff to the dumpster that I couldn’t take with me to my cheap hotel room in crack-town. It took me twice as long to get things out of the apartment - and larger furniture never did get removed. But fuck’em. They want to charge me for hauling the last of my meagre belongings away, let’em come find me in crack-town.
This morning I got locked out of my room. The computer chip on my door lock failed. I was locked out for a couple of hours and when I did get back in, I had to be moved to a different room. Admittedly, its a nicer room, but it was still a pain in the ass.
This morning my internet shut down. I thought it might be a permanent affair but fortunately it was only temporary. Soon, of course, it will get shut down for real and permanently. Its not like I can afford internet access.
Right now, I’m taking things day by day. I never know whats going to happen tomorrow, whether I’ll have a roof over my head, or food… well, okay, its pretty certain that I’ll have no food (other than those cupcakes, but they’re gone now), but on the bright side, I’ve lost ten pounds. But every day that goes by is a day that I’m grateful to have had with my kitties.
Oh yeah, and I have a toothache. Meh, its only pain.
And I don’t want to complain about some of these tarot customers, but fucking hell, I’m homeless. I want to do readings for everybody, but are you telling me that every single person who requests a reading can afford a computer and the internet, but can’t afford a few bucks for a reading?
Things have been so crap, I was beginning to think mercury was in retrograde again, but that doesn’t start until next week. People keep telling me to hang in there. I’m trying, really I am, but there comes a point where giving up seems a hell of a lot easier than continuing the struggle.
So I live zen, in the moment. Right this moment i have a roof, I have my cats, I have some tea that I stole from the lobby.

Hang in there. Does that help?
I hate that you are going through this right now. I hate that FEMA denied your benefit with no explanation whatsoever, leaving you without a source of income you had counted on. I hate that your computer, your primary source of income, died for a few weeks, and that you never made up that loss. I hate that I don’t have a million dollars in order to give you some money.
I also hate that you had a divorce that left you with little to nothing, while your cheating husband went off and shacked up with someone else.
And I hate that you lost everything you had (except Bea and your subsequently uncooperative computer) in Hurricane Katrina.
Hmm. This isn’t helping. I’m sure you don’t want a list of all the things that are not good at the moment. I’m just saying that you’ve had an unbelievable string of bad luck in the last couple of years. I don’t know how to make it better, and I feel helpless.
But to your readers, I just say that this could happen to anyone of us at any moment. In the US people tend to believe that if someone is homeless, it is because of a character flaw, not because of unfortunate circumstances.
And to your tarot recipients, if you can, consider paying for the service you were rendered.
I love you and hope that things turn around.
And I hope you find the strength to hang in there.
I agree with Richard. Folks, if you\’ve received a tarot reading from Che, you know she is skilled and thorough and spends a lot of time giving you a good reading.
Well, it seems lady luck is not smiling on Che right now, so maybe you can do something to change that situation. Please donate to help Che get back on her feet.
Whether or not you\’ve had a reading done, please consider being generous. Why not skip buying your lunch for a few days and donate here instead? Bag your lunch, help out a good person. Not a bit step. I can personally vouch for Che that she is in a bind and that every penny you donate will be put to good use for rent, utilities, food, and feeding her two lovely kitties.
At this point, saying \”Hang In There\” isn\’t going to help Che much… Reality demands money to make ends meet, especially after this series of significant losses for Che.
Please return Che\’s generosity by donating whatever you can to help. She\’s worth it; she deserves it; and you\’ll certainly up your karma power by giving to someone in need.
To be clear, this post is absolutely, totally unsolicited by Che and I\’m even wondering if she won\’t be a little annoyed that Richard and I both posted about this, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Do what you can folks. Sometimes, all people need is a little help up…
I see that people have been generous in donating for their readings. It warms my heart to see people reaching out.
And as someon who has had a reading (and paid for it), I know that Che is very talented and puts much effort into her art.
