On Mars Days, we try to work out and often wear red, and sometimes thirst.

Venus Day blessings!
Post workout shirtless mirror selfie to celebrate. I’ve been enjoying my French toast casserole and home baked bread this week, but still putting in the work at the gym.
I was legit proud of my performance on today’s WOD! (After lifting and before compromised finisher)

A tarot or oracle spread for the New Moon in Scorpio
Spread: New Moon in Scorpio
Rebuilding from the seeds of desire
This season we have the New Moon in Scorpio (28º Scorpio 12') happening November 20, 2025 (1:47AM US Eastern Time). Where does that land in your chart? (Solid 4th House for me.)

Before and after baking and then a big slice. (Went back in the oven for 10 minutes after tasting the delicious but eggy and wet slice.)

And now for French toast casserole. It’ll be interesting to see how this fluffy milk bread does instead of stale French bread. This is pre-egg+milk and overnight soak.

Made milk bread for the first time. Over floured the surface before second proving, but overall it looks good and smells amazing! We don’t usually eat bread in this house, so this is mostly for the ancestors. But I’ll have a slice or two at some point.

First shirtless postworkout photo since surgery recovery? Maybe? The workout was so rough after a few rough workouts since Sunday.
Working off some (10 lbs of?) fluff while adding back some (5 lbs?) muscle, but starting to feel more normal! Feels good.
Second photo has a little #jocktober peekaboo

In this new era of de-Instagrammed (still there but way less), I sometimes forget that I have #tarot and #oraclespreads I can share here. They’re all on my blog, but here’s one inspired by the #9ofswords and requested by Patreon peeps.

New milestone! I think last year I got 100k visits to my site hermitsmirror.com (or close to and I’ll get that this year), but a million impressions in the last month? I assume bots and AI are to thank for that, even though I have settings to dissuade them. #tarotsky

Oh, and here’s a postworkout thirst trap since it’s been a minute.
There’s even a zoomed-in back reflection since I never see my back and was like, “Oh! She’s strong.”

Tell me you’re staying at your parents’ house without telling me you’re staying at your parents’.
I’ll go first.
I’m not even sure if they lived in this house back then.

We didn’t get feathers in our hair for the concert, but Kesha was awesome. Really blew me away, but I’ve been listening to [.] on repeat for days.

Making a bunch of crop tops and tank tops (and got a sweater and shirt I didn’t cut up) at home for $50 for summer
$1–5 options from Goodwill
$17 in cutting tools from local small-business fabric shop
This Marathon shirt was $1.50–there were many Greek shirts for some reason

Was doing a little quick sketching inspired by Monster of the Week (thanks for the food for thought @lindseydecker.bsky.social), and realized I wanted to mix up my usual go-to faces with a little object pareidolia

Today’s reminder that active calories burned are not all (or usually most) of calories burned.
Some active days don’t burn as much overall, even if resting calorie burn is generally consistent. Different stimuli.
Images 2 + 4 have almost the same total with v. different active numbers.

Look, things are terrible in a lot of places in a lot of ways, and I can’t change all of that in just today (or ever by myself because no person can).
So let me share this completed LEGO Tudor Corner build in case it adds some delight to your day.

A Mars Day thirst trap for Pride Month, I guess? It’s different this time because I ironically did the mirror selfie pose we used in Apothecary Spirits Oracle for toxic Pokeberry.
And I still have my wrist wraps on!
Shirtless, postworkout, nothing too adult
