Submit your question or request for a general "what's up this week" reading and I will be happy to oblige! I read between the time I post on Sunday night with a deadline of 8pm Monday night.


I am happy to read your Ogham free of charge -- that's how I hone my divination skills -- but if you want to donate for it, I'll happily buy myself a book, a snack, or a cup of tea while on the town. Please only donate if you can absolutely afford it. I've been there. Your prayers for my continued success are welcome whether you donate or not!
 



**********Readings are concluded for the week... thank you and Happy New Year! See you next week (year) for more Ogham readings.*************

Thanks!

I saw this before my OB appointment today and I'm very glad I did. My last two appointments, I had tried to plan how to handle the vaccine discussion with the high-risk OBs, and had asked the Ogham for advice. Both times (once with my regular doctor and once with a sub), the doctor didn't end up starting that discussion. This time, I went in without a plan, so of course this time he did ask...

It seemed that by now I had built up enough rapport with him that even though he was disappointed, he accepted my choice not to get any of the current covid vaccines. Which I think fits with this week's reading.

He still did a good job of making me feel bad for having disappointed him. I mean he went from cheerful to subdued, poor guy. His first reaction was "Oh *no*," and then he had a little moment of cognitive dissonance along the lines of, "You're super smart"... (Like thank you for the compliment but...is it gonna make you consider that I might actually be right? ;) My concern of course is that he may instead use this to mentally justify "She may be 'super smart,' but she still gets things wrong, so I shouldn't listen to her wishes in the future"...but we'll see.)

For hours after the appointment I felt bad and worried that our doctor-patient relationship would be harmed. But I feel OK now. Still contemplating whether or not to give him more details of my reasoning. I don't want to annoy him, or provoke more dissonance.

BTW...I had to laugh when I read "possible workaholism." We had postponed getting the baby's things ready since we have a history of past losses. It just made us superstitious. But now the baby has dropped so we're thinking s/he may be getting ready to come a bit early and we better step up the preparations. I guess we better pace ourselves this week!

Anyway, thanks again!
