A bored Gemini is not a good thing. When I’m feeling blasé and find that I have too much time on my fidgety little hands, I don’t do productive things like meditate ‘n stuff. I do stupid stuff.
A lot of it involves cats.
These are the things I do when I’m bored out of my skull:
Spend hours looking up cats with Victorian clothes. Scheme on how to get an Elizabethan collar on my cat. Settle for Photoshop version.
Elbow my husband and point out the cute way the cat is sleeping. Husband and cat are annoyed.
Call my daughter to let her know what the cat did that day. Daughter tries to change to an intelligent discussion because she’s less frivolous than me. I catjack the conversation again.
Read up on the Bundy standoff. Judge the crimes against fashion.
Organize my collection of sticky notes.
Try to stick on those damn false eyelashes. Hurt my eye in the process.
Obsess over Asian beauty products and gadgets.
Drink. Challenge myself to a drinking contest based on how many times the word tarot comes up in my Twitter feed. I lose again.
Poke the cat.
Chew an entire pack of gum in under an hour.
Text cat pictures to my sister (who is allergic and has zero interest in cats). I also text her to inquire about the neighbor cat who uses her garden as his personal litter box. Sister is not amused. She stops texting back.
Decorate my planner. Waste time googling planner decorating videos (yes, there is such a thing).
Imitate that guy from Silence of the Lambs in the mirror.
Find proof that my cat resembles Nick Offerman. Tell everyone.
Point out something that the cat is doing to whomever is in the room. No one else around? I’ll make a note of it myself.
Take all the bad cards out of the tarot deck. Read predictions for the political candidate I like with the remaining cards. Read predictions for the political candidate I don’t like with the bad cards. Feel better instantly.
Keep tabs on whatever Amber Rose is currently doing.
Wonder out loud if Amber Rose might be interested in what my cat is doing at this minute (in case she is reading this: he’s grooming himself).
Play miniature lion tamer with the cats. They ignore me.
Write lists of all the stupid crap I do when I’m bored.
The end.
PS I’m NEVER this bored.

These guys actually tried out edible lingerie. Ewww….

I’m Theresa Reed (aka, The Tarot Lady). I’ve been a full-time tarot reader for 30+ years — which, in my industry, makes me pretty badass.
I’m definitely not your average Tarot expert — I drop the F-bomb, I quote rappers, and I’m obsessed with pop culture + reality TV. Folks come to me for straight-talk + tough-love — without the woo-woo fluff.
