The dreaded time change :)

Fitting that the first number I saw this a.m. was 2:22 a.m.  Being that I try to stick with my usual sleeping time even with the time change...worked for me to get up.  At the computer now at 3:12 a.m.  Will see how I am feeling after "work" today.  Last day of early voting work and I did not sign up for Election Day for the first time in many years.  4 days x 8 hours x minimum wage in CT $16.35 will be welcome $ in a few weeks.  :)  So today - walk up and back from Community Center, work 10a.m.-6 p.m.  Last year no one showed up on this last day of early voting.  We will see how this year goes.  

Yesterday - watched Boston Blue...ruling is out on that for me.  Not the most entertaining and a bit "contrived" as to trying to reboot Blue Bloods format.  Will give it a couple more weeks.  Also watched All-In with Elon as the main speaker.  "Celebrating" the 3 yr anniversary of his Twitter purchase.  Interesting sort that Elon.  Then Lansing DC at 10 a.m.  I do love the group that has gathered online in that group for almost 5 years.  Then I walked to the W&T book club.  Surprised that one of the new walker/talkers was the wife of my computer guy.  What a nice person but I should have guessed the same with how kind and patient her husband is with me and my "hair on fire" issues with computers at times over the years.  Then set the two clocks back in my apt that still need to be turned and called it a night.  Will hope to finished Stone Yard Devotional at work today.  Have the next two Daniel Silva books on my bedside table.  :)

You may look confident on the outside but something is nagging at you on the inside and it’s that something you must deal with first. The best way to get past a fear is to tackle it head on. It’s time to turn a weakness into a strength.

Cater to the health of your body, mind, and spirit, dearest Libra, as the Pisces moon aligns with Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, and Neptune. Recognize that wellness habits must be sustainable if they're to serve you in the long run. Seek out uplifting yet straightforward activities that can be done daily. Your focus turns toward love once Luna enters Aries, adding fuel to the sparks that exist between you and your favorite people. This energy is ideal for releasing minor disappointments, promoting forgiveness, and revealing your true self. Let your flirty side dominate conversations once Mercury activates midafternoon, winning over others with your charm and wit. 

A new love relationship could appear on the horizon, perhaps with someone as creative as you. This could cause some self-doubt, particularly about your appearance, but don't succumb to that. The person is drawn to your energy! Some fascinating conversations could take place. Feelings should run deep. This could lead to a long-term commitment.

I will see what feels like it needs tackling today.  Have a good Sunday.  First week in November 2025...yikes.  

"Busy" day - 148 voters :)

It is a betwixt and between time.  Nov 1 2025.  As old people (me) say, "where did this year go?"  Between weather seasons, going into a "new" year, setting my mental table for 2026... Lots to think about.  Lots in my mind that I need to get on paper.  

Yesterday did not give me much time to think.  Busy voting day and the short mile up and mile back walk.  Today I will be out and about walking from12:45 - 3:45 p.m. with my walk to and from and in the Walk & Talk Book Club.  Lansing DC at 10 a.m.  Do monthly financial report this a.m.

Voting work tomorrow.  Then I will just "insert praying hands emoji" for Tuesday and the results.  Lunch on post election Friday at one of the swimming ladies' homes.  Will hash things out there.  :)

Don’t let differences over finances drive a wedge between you and someone you love. It’s no big deal agreeing to pay out a bit more than you had expected to. You could even gain something good that no amount of money can buy.

You'll perk up with each healthy and efficient decision that is made, sweet Libra, as the Pisces moon aligns with the nodes of fate. This cosmic climate underlines how behaviors influence physical, emotional, and mental health. If you've been swimming in dark waters recently, these vibes will help you find the light within. Commit to routines you can feel good about, even if the benefits aren't immediately noticeable. Take note of how loved ones respond to your choices while Venus opposes Chiron. If you experience pushback, it could be a result of your counterpart's own dissatisfaction, and not a reflection of how they feel about you. 

Today you might think you look awful and perhaps want to go out and change your whole look. Buy some new clothes and go for a workout. Even though you probably look pretty good, these activities make you feel good and increase your self-confidence. Your self-image is proportionate to your state of mind. You might just feel a bit down now.

Mini push the reset button today.  Walking will be the key.  Have a good Saturday.  

Off to "work" in a bit...

I have a feeling that this will be my feeling by 6 p.m. today.  Off to the community center in a bit.  Raining as we speak (3:57 a.m.).  Want to walk up and back and would like NOT to be soaking wet when I get there. Luckily I am the scanner today so I get to sit by myself!  No chit chat to fill the time. 

Yesterday - watched my 3 Chicago shows, another GeriPal episode about billing codes.  Yikes.  That is a full time job.  Walk.  1:30 massage.  3 p.m. C&C legislative update.  7 p.m. Conservation Cemeteries - 2 Florida, 1 Tennessee, one North Carolina.  Made me think about asking my son about "how about we split up this end of life "work", I will handle going to my reward and he can set up what happens then to involve the people, places and things that will mean the most to him.  Will put that on my winter thoughts list.  

Today - Watch Thursday shows as time allows, work at the polls 10-6.  Tomorrow Lansing DC and W&T book club. Do October $ report for son.  Sunday - work at polls 10-6 and then as I told one of the swimming ladies - insert praying hands emoji as to results.  All about local for this election.  

Someone you meet in a social setting either today or over the weekend will have a big impact on the direction your life takes between now and the end of the year. The link between you may be romantic, or professional, or spiritual, but it will be major.

The energy could feel rushed yet exhilarating this morning, dearest Libra, as the Pisces moon and Uranus align. Plot twists reveal alternate ways forward, but over-excitement may cloud your judgment and lead to messy mistakes. Bring your body to a place of calm, and the mind will follow, giving you the clarity to act effectively. Avoid getting too caught up in the details while Mercury stirs up perfectionist behaviors, recognizing when fixations stall progress. The stars encourage you to recalibrate once the sun and Luna connect this evening, inviting you to infuse your routines with creature comforts and indulgent luxuries.

Your mind could be especially active today. Perhaps you'll discover a new talent you didn't know you had, such as writing, drawing or speaking. Ideas for stories, sketches, or lectures might come thick and fast. Write them down. Computers are particularly useful now. You might have to execute some paperwork concerning money, but this should get accomplished quickly and easily.

Well here goes Halloween!  Have a good Friday.  
 

Something got me riled up yesterday...

Had a 555 in the a.m. and evening yesterday.  And I was in the bed reading by 6 p.m.  I could not watch one more minute of news yesterday.  AND I had a dream that was "political".  I do wish our two US Senators were up for re-election this year so that I could tell them that not doing their job was a problem for me.  One is just delusional, the other is so deep into ego work and positioning for his next position.  And drinking the DC kool-aid.  It hurts my soul.  

Re-listening to Dead Talks.  Host with his mom.  I sent to son.  Next up is the latest GeriPal - a follow up episode re billing and coding.

Also got a copy from family friend of what she wrote for her church. “The light of a good character surpasses the light of the sun.”  Morning - I have wakened in Thy shelter, O my God, and it becometh him that seeketh that shelter to abide within the Sanctuary of Thy protection and the Stronghold of Thy defense. Illumine my inner being, O my Lord, with the splendors of the Dayspring of Thy Revelation, even as Thou didst illumine my outer being with the morning light of Thy favor. Baha’u’llah

Did my window ballet yesterday.  Quiet and less breezy.  :)  I do have two "new" windows in the great room so I can open those windows if I have the need for winter fresh air.  Beside that - clean apt, walk, EOLD, library talk online with a historical fiction novelist, was drawn to bed to read my Stone Yard Devotional book.  Today - Wednesday shows, walk, massage, Compassion & Choices legislative update, Cape Cod Death conversation - CBA Conservation Burial as Community and Climate Action presentation, with stories from Heartwood, Prairie Creek, Larkspur, and Bluestem Conservation Cemeteries.  Looking forward to being reintroduced to Larkspur and Bluestem and new news on the other two.  

Really focusing on what writing I need to do after Tuesday's Rochester DC.  Also sent son some links from a PBS show I saw yesterday about day trips in Texas for his winter trip.  

Before you sign up for something new make sure you know everything about it. With mind planet Mercury at odds with Uranus, planet of surprises, there is a danger you might overlook a small detail now that could cost you big money later on.

Let your light shine, and people will notice, dear Libra, as the Aquarius moon and Venus align. Give peers a chance to see the real you, and don't hesitate to open your heart when developing flirtations. Your adventurous side emerges while Mercury and Pluto connect, though you'll desire knowledge and more profound meaning in addition to new experiences. Allow your perspective to evolve during your activities and interactions to make the most of these vibes. Strained relationships have an opportunity to heal when Chiron stirs this evening, but you'll need to find personal balance first. Avoid impulsive spending once Mars activates tonight. 

Career success, particularly involving writing, teaching, and other communication skills, could come your way today. You may not be aware that it's coming, so it could be a bit difficult to handle at first. Still, you've been working toward this goal for a long time, and you'll be glad to hear the news. In the evening, go out with friends to celebrate. You've earned it!

Tomorrow and Sunday working at the polls so I want to spend as much time outside today and Saturday as I can.  Rain will be a factor today.  :)  Have a good Thursday.  

Lights, camera, action :)

I did get a bit nervous, but all went well as I played the role of Penelope in a Rochester DC session.  A bit of a lot of info...but the facilitator did a good job presenting the challenges of Digital Legacy.  I think I have laid it out pretty clearly for my son, but it is definitely a winter project to clean up around the edges.  And I got a "111" yesterday afternoon during CA DC so I thought I would remind myself that I am being guided.  

Yesterday - Shoprite with no Doreen, $26.22/$23.49 with grapes and blueberries day (both were on sale so I thought that was a "sign" to indulge), ran dishwasher, did load of wash, walk, CA DC, Rochester DC.  Finished Serviceberries.  Good book with sound guidance.  Started Stone Yard Devotional.  Loving it so far.  

Today - Clean apt, walk with friend, EOLD-Ancestral Honoring through Stories (you know I love a good story) , Library "talk"- Courtly Intrigue and Whispers as Weapons with Historical Fiction Queen Philippa Gregory.  

Started the window ballet yesterday - took screen out of bathroom window and lowered the storm window...will see if I am drawn to do the rest of the "old" windows this week.  Noise and "breeziness" lessens once I do that.  But not quite cold enough yet. 

Before you sign up for something new make sure you know everything about it. With mind planet Mercury at odds with Uranus, planet of surprises, there is a danger you might overlook a small detail now that could cost you big money later on.

A jolt to the senses puts you on the move, dear Libra, as Mercury aspects Neptune before entering Sagittarius and opposing Uranus. Support your body so the mind can thrive, and brilliant ideas will pour through. Work closely with your higher power for assistance, but be ready to step up when opportunity presents itself. The Aquarius quarter moon could breed hesitation, especially if you're uncertain of your qualifications. Build confidence and trust that you're capable of learning as you go. Your actions will require structure and strategy once Mars and Saturn activate this afternoon, pandering to your responsible side. 

In your case, the phrase "turning point" has some meaning. This turning point could take the form of a new person or a key event that changes things forever. Sometimes amazing things we hear about really do happen. One of these things may be happening to you in the coming months.

Surprises, jolt, turning point...looking forward to today.  Have a good Wednesday.  AND tomorrow is massage Thursday.  Good things ahead.  :)

I really do need to take notes... :)

All the things I think I am going to remember to talk about when I write each a.m. don't jump into my mind once I sit down.  Oh well.  I did interact with TGDS blog and the post about forgiveness.  I did talk a long walk and drop off/pick up books.  I did listen to Patient Choices Vermont webinar about what doulas are.  I did in the a.m. took a nap...Got back in bed to read after doing my morning activities and before webinar and walk.  And fell asleep.  I think it did the body good.  Friday and Saturday being sedentary took a bit longer to recover from than I anticipated.  Interesting - that napping concept.  Working at polls Friday and Sunday coming up.  More recovery next week.  :)

Early to bed and early to rise - 3:22 a.m. as we speak, but was in bed reading Serviceberries before it struck the 7 p.m. hour.  I will have a week of it next week - as usual - when the time change happens.  I really thought we had done away with that, but not so much.  

Today - Shoprite, run dishwasher, do a load of clothes, CA DC, Rochester DC.  Walk in between clothes and CA.  Will see what else pops up...and I forget before reporting out tomorrow.  :)

Do you deserve all the opportunities now coming your way? Of course you do, so stop questioning yourself and make good use of what the universe is giving you. Don’t risk looking back from the future and wishing you had been more assertive.

Relationship challenges could throw you off balance this morning, darling Libra, as the Capricorn moon, Chiron, and Jupiter form a harsh t-square. Lead with compassion and remind your counterpart to do the same so healing can be achieved. Invest in your health when Mars and Saturn activate this afternoon, considering which behaviors you can adjust to give your body more energy. Enjoy a quiet yet productive evening at home while Mercury and Neptune are in motion, making your space a true sanctuary. You'll perk up later tonight once Luna enters Aquarius, forming mystical connections with Uranus and Pluto. Keep a dream journal next to your bed and document any epiphanies that come to you. 

Your sensitive nature is attractive. People who come to you for advice and guidance aren't disappointed. You have a solid, practical perspective, yet you're also receptive and understanding. People with flashy ideas and a reckless way about them might try to sell you a pig in a poke. Don't be thrown off. Stay strong within yourself and confident about what you believe in.

Dream journal by my bed suffers from my lack of recall too...oh well.  I will keep an eye to epiphanies. Have a good Tuesday.  

A bit of a change up for Sunday

Saw 444 on the stove clock just now and realize I had not written yet this a.m.  I guess another change up carry over.  Yesterday I got a call at 9 a.m. asking if I wanted to go out for dinner with family friend and her husband.  I said no initially since I had 4 and 7 p.m. DCs, but on my walk to Unionville, I changed my mind and asked if I could reconsider and she said sure.  

So the day, watched Morgan Housel with Ted Seides, GeriPal about "slow code" and FBI from the past week.  :)  I will have to make sure I make a note if that by some heinous, horrendous error in humanity I end up in a hospital that they call the slowest code known to man.  Have the doctor stop and get a snack, catch up on emails, anything so no carts or equipment get rolled into my area.  :)

Then good walk to Unionville.  4 p.m. East-West DC, 6 pm pick up for dinner.  I changed my usual order at this restaurant.  Not a good choice, but it filled me up.  

Today noon ZOOM.  Walk before.  Return latest Silva.  Started The Serviceberries this a.m.  Will pick up next Silva tomorrow.  

The fact that you can easily point out where a colleague has got their facts wrong does not mean you are obliged to do so. This is one of those occasions when it might be better to keep your mouth closed rather than make someone look silly.

You should feel stable, prosperous, and ready for that next incredible feat, dear Libra. As Mars and Jupiter align amongst the stars, it's time to shoot for the moon. If you've been sitting on major projects or plotting a new endeavor, the universe asks you to get moving. Pick up the pace when planting seeds that will nurture your visions. Financial breakthroughs could also emerge, putting you in generous and celebratory spirits. Meanwhile, the Capricorn moon allows you to honor your emotions without relinquishing essential boundaries. Stay on track by cutting out roadblocks and imbalances once Luna aspects the nodes of fate and Venus this evening. 

Gadgets and new devices that are supposed to make it easier to accomplish certain tasks may actually cause more confusion. You're often a big fan of doing things the old-fashioned way. Even though people may laugh at you, you tend to insist that the old way is the best way. Take your time to complete chores and tasks today.

I am pretty sure this will be a quiet day.  I will try and stay on track.  Have a good Monday.
