I am offering one-card draws for free, one free draw per customer, using the Motherpeace Tarot deck.
I am also offering a second free draw (one card) to anyone who links me to their post advertising this, a three-card past-present-future spread to anyone who donates $5 via Paypal to alexconall at gmail, and a ten-card spread to anyone who donates $20. If you wish to donate without a bonus drawing, thank you muchly and please specify that in the comments to your donation.
Donations currently stand at $69.97 as of noon Jul 9. All donations will be directed to the Alex's First Apartment's First Month's Rent fund. Or possibly things like dinnerware!
When donations cross $50, I will give away a ten-card reading to a randomly chosen commenter.
When donations cross $100, I will give away a second ten-card reading to a randomly chosen commenter and also write an essay meditating on a randomly drawn card.
When donations cross $150, I will give away a third ten-card reading to a randomly chosen commenter.
When donations cross $200, I will buy me a something frivolous (I want to say 'pineapple pizza', but probably it will in fact be a book), give away a fourth ten-card reading, and write a second essay meditating on a second randomly drawn card.
Please be advised that due to shenanigans at home, responses will not be prompt. My plan (Jul 7) is to do as many draws tonight after paycheck work as are requested today, relay the results as soon as I'm back on the Internet tomorrow, and repeat if more draws are requested tomorrow. (ETA Jul 8: I dramatically underestimated how much disability silverware I would have after working one to midnight! I apologize for the delay. Thank you to those of you who have donated thus far!) (ETA Jul 9, noon: I have done all the spreads except one three-card, for which I don't believe I've gotten a question though the Paypal comments said one was forthcoming, and the now-six ten-card spreads. I will figure out who won the donations-passed-$50 spread Soon.) If I owe you a ten-card spread (you four know who you are), it is coming in the next couple days.
Anonymous comments are screened and will remain so unless you say in the comment to unscreen it. If you want your card by PM instead of in a comment, tell me; if you want it by email instead of in a comment, I'll need your email.

Jul. 9th, 2015 12:53 pmMy card du jour: Star, upright. Healing, grace, cleansing, and a sense of divine presence. Y'all don't know how much I needed to hear that just now.
I have done all but three of the readings requested so far, not counting the four I owe from the last time. My head hurts worse, so I shan't attempt the ten-card spreads at the moment, and I understand the three-card spread comes with a question that I don't believe I have seen. ETA: now have.
I have also done the poetry for class. Hurrah!
I think I need a nap. I am not sure I am going to take one, unless I call to say I am definitely staying home sick today. Which would be unfair to Coworker K, because tonight is my turn on Them Fuckers and if I ditch then it's her turn. But my symptoms list is extensive today.
...did editing my tarot-draw post change its date and time, and thus position relative to other posts in my journal? Because I sure didn't deliberately change its timestamp.
ETA: Have now had tea and food. If I'm real lucky (given how I'm presently feeling), these will stay down. I should maybe go get a ginger ale.
ETA2: I edited a locked post and the timestamp changed on that one too. wtf.

Jul. 9th, 2015 08:48 pmThree more hours (and change) and a short drive and then I can crash. Unless I go home early. Shouldn't, overtime, and also massive thunderstorm outside, but might. Still v symptomatic. Wish I'd called in sick to begin with.
Wish I knew when I could relax next. Smart money is (sadly) October...
And that's it for lunch hour. :(
