Card Reading
Friday was a hectic day so I was worn out. I was going to continue sleeping until noon today, but I was woken up by the noise of construction nearby early in the morning. I didn't feel like going out as I wanted to sleep. I did a card reading with playing cards. I have Tarot cards but I often see President Trump on TV so chose playing cards. Playing cards is called “Trump” in Japanese 😁
I tried to read how today will be going for me, then, Ace of Heart appeared for this morning. I could meet someone nice! I quickly went out. In a cafe, I was watching around, thinking “Who is it?”👀
Most of the customers were old men because of morning. Maybe the card reading was wrong?
Then, a man came in. His behavior was creepy. He was walking around with a smirk and took aim at a table next to me even though there were many empty tables. I glared at him coming over to the table. He glanced at me and sit at another table on the other side of me next to that empty table. Thus today’s morning was over. I went back to study English at noon as usual😭
I believe that as I become able to read cards better, President Trump will make America better as well 😅
金曜日は慌ただしかったので疲労しきった。今日はお昼まで眠り続けるつもりだったけど、朝から近くの工事がうるさくて目が覚めてしまった。眠りたいので外に出る気分でなかった。トランプカード占いをした。タロットも持ってるけど、トランプ大統領をよくテレビで見るのでトランプカードにした。Playing cardのことを日本語ではトランプという😁 今日はどんな一日になるか占ってみた。すると午前中のところでハートのエースが出た〜!! いい人に会えるかも! さっさと外出。カフェで「誰だろ」と考えながら周りを観察していた👀
朝なので客の大半がお祖父ちゃん達だった。占い、外れたかな〜?
と、その時、ある男性が入って来た。動きが気持ち悪い。ニヤニヤしながら店内を歩き回っていた。空いてるテーブルがいっぱいあるのに、私の隣のテーブルに狙いを定めた。テーブルに向かってくるその男性を睨みつけてやりました。その人は私をチラ見し、その空いてるテーブルの私とは反対方向にあるテーブルに座りました。こうして今日の午前中が終了。昼にいつもの英語の勉強に戻りました😭
私のトランプ占いが上手になれば、トランプ大統領もアメリカをもっと良い国にするのだろうと信じてます😅

I tried to read how well today willould be going for me, and then then, Ace of Hearts appeared for this morning.
I could meet someone nice!
I quickly went out.
In a cafe, I was watchlooking around, thinking “Who is it?”👀
Most of the customers were old men because ofit was morning.
Maybe the card reading was wrong?
Then, a man came in.
His behavior was creepy.
He was walking around with a smirk and took aim atzeroed in on/targeted a table next to me, even though there were many empty tables.
"Took aim" is used more for literally aiming at something (i.e. archery, throwing a ball, shooting a target).
"Zeroed in on [something]/targeted [something]" is used for more figurative things (he zeroed in on the task at hand/he targeted a spot in the cafe he could sit in)
I glared at him as he was coming over to the table.
He glanced at me and siat at another table on the other side of me next to that empty table.
Thus, today’s morning was over.
I went back to study English at noon as usual😭

“zero in on” is a new phrase. Thank you for teaching me and correcting my English😄
I was going to continue sleeping until noon today, but I was woken up by the noise of construction nearby woke me up early in the morning.
No need to use the passive voice. Also, "woken up" is probably correct but sounds really awkward, so using active voice fixes that problem.
I didn't feel like going out as, since I wanted to sleep.
So I did a card reading with playing cards.
I feel you need "so" to connect this thought to the previous sentence.
I could meet someone nice!
I quickly went out.

MBecause it was morning, most of the customers were old men because of morning.

Then, a man came in.
His behavior was creepy.
He was walking around with a smirk and took aim aton his face and zeroed in on a table next to me, even though there were many empty tables.
He might answer "with a smirk", but I would say "walking around with a smirk on his face". The reason has to do with how long his smirk lasts.
I glared at him comingas he came over to the table.
I went back to study English at noon as usual😭
I believe that as I become able to read cards better, President Trump will make America better as well 😅

I tried to read how today will be going for me, then, Aould go for me. The ace of Hhearts appeared for this morning.
Since the sentence is in past tense, use "would" instead of "will".

Use "looking around" when you mean you were looking at more than one thing.
Use "watching" when you mean you were looking at one thing for a long time. For example, when watching TV or watching a movie.

No comment except I’m also learning to do tarot readings with playing cards!
July 12, 2020
Oh you too! I just started it and found the meanings of cards are a bit different between tarot and playing cards though they are similar.
It's interesting. I'll learn more.
Thank you for correcting my English😄
