Four of Swords
I got my 2nd Pfizer shot yesterday. The nurse was awesome and I didn’t feel a thing. I had plenty of water beforehand, I was relaxed, I felt good.
I felt so good that I went on a walk around my neighborhood at sunset, and chased the sun around the cove.
After 30 min, I was shaky and dizzy and definitely experiencing the start of flu-like symptoms.
I really need a rest. I need to sleep and heal, and recover from this past year. I can’t keep going without a break. And if I don’t take a break on my own, the 4 of Swords will come and force me to stop.
The swords are a forceful suit. There’s nothing gentle here. This isn’t a calming sleep or a coffee break. This is a forced time out. The penalty box. Tarot is grounding me and sending me to my room.
It’s not a bad thing, this reminder. I need to rest, because the vaccine needs time to work. The lethargy and aches I’m feeling is my immune system just doing its job. In order to do my job (librarian, writer, yarn seller, person who lives alone and wants to eat so chef, dishwasher, and laundress), I need to rest. I need time off.
