Can I say "it was an interesting day" again? :)

This roller coaster ride picture that a former school #1 made with me photoshopped in feels right for today. And a good reminder that her birthday is Friday so I made a note on my paper calendar so I remember to email her.  It has been that kind of month.  Lots of input from lots of angles and now we are passed the autumnal equinox and on to...we will see.

I should have taken notes yesterday.  :)  Ran dishwasher. But here is what I am piecing together.  Spent time in a.m. looking at the tire pumps.  Was ready to send my son a note to help his mother make an online purchase, but sister #4 called while I was walking and she placed the order and with her "purchasing power" she has a pump coming to me between 4-7 a.m. today so I will hope I am off to the races and will get it into my routine to check tires weekly to keep me on the move.  I will hope it is not too complicated.  I have my landlord in the loop now as to my "issue" so I will reach out to him if needed.  So back to the top of the day - watched some more of the All-In Summit videos, researched my pump, then with a 1 p.m. CA DC headed out for my walk which was to ALDI and back.  Decided I would finish up my weekly shopping on foot again so a $14.70/6 item ALDI day, so a $21.76 week.  I am rounding up and will owe sister #4 $100 for pump and the "block" thing I needed in order to charge it.  Sister #4 said most people have a drawer of them in their house...I have none.  Arms were getting a bit tired from carrying - peaches, grapes, bread, eggs, (family friend's chickens are transitioning to the cooler weather laying quantity), vanilla sandwich cookies but I made it.  CA DC.  Then went to walk around the block to wind down from my satchel walk and pump purchase.  Ran into landlord.  Landlady purchased a new all electric car so I reminded him about the free charging station in the town hall parking lot.  So he and I drove the block to plug in.  Much faster and more convenient than plugging it in to the back of his building.  AND landlady left quiche and cookies on my stoop yesterday for today!  I had texted her after seeing the new car - now she and landlord both have red cars - "feel like I am living at the firehouse".  :) Reading CIRCLE.  Death Sangha at 8 p.m. as a good place to spend the actual hour of the equinox.  Also had a fun back and forth with a DC participant in Australia in the early morning for me, meat of day for her.  She is moving into Spring as we are moving into Fall.  In the mail I got a coupon array for the month of October for Shoprite.  Will need to make sure my TX/NM friend knows about the ones for the week she and other family members are here in October.  $10 off/$50 - and their group will definitely have purchases over $50.00.  :)  I might try and figure out how to use the one for next week or the week after if I can find enough sales stuff to buy to get the $10 off/$50 or if I spend $15 - the free eggs the first week or the free lb of butter the next.  Did hear from former school #2 boss and she will meet me on Thursday for a walk and Shake Shack dinner!  As I shared with her - "Complete and total "Roger that"!    Somebody said their chocolate shakes are "too" chocolate-y.  I plan on debunking that myth!  And I have to smile as I was having hamburger, fries and shakes with my Bates' sister at GRAZE in Westerly Sept 10!  Theme of the month - Bates and burgers!  See you Thursday."   And not knowing that I was going to get the pump so quickly, I did set up our get together so I could walk to and from.  I think I will stay with that plan even if tires are full and reading to ride.  :)

Today - clean apt, walk with family friend sans daughter and grandson.  Daughter came to the end of her 3 month maternity leave.  EOLD at noon.  2 p.m. to swimming lady's for Shoprite coupon tutorial and take a look at what she came up with for her medical directives.  7 p.m. GA DC.  One of the members was scheduled for Switzerland last week.  We will see if update is shared.  Friday is Massage Friday!  We will see if rain disturbs my weekend walking.  

Although the Sun is now moving through your sign you probably won’t notice much of a change to begin with. Come the weekend though the pace of life will pick up dramatically and you will enjoy the challenge of keeping up, so save your energy for then.

You'll awaken to a world you feel you can be your best self in, dearest Libra, thanks to a sweet aspect between the Aquarius Moon and Mercury. Emphasize the unique qualities you are most proud of, and compliments are sure to roll in. Now is also a good time to push the boundaries of what is considered normal, especially when working with creative outlets. Remember that innovation and fearlessness often coincide, but be mindful to keep one foot on the ground. Your heart receives a healthy dose of cosmic healing while Luna aligns with the nodes of fate and Chiron. Show yourself some love by infusing your bedtime routines with sweetness after the Moon enters Pisces tonight.

Have you been going crazy with all the demands placed on you? Don't despair. Reflect on all that's been going on. Think about where you want to make changes. Once you've come to a decision, don't hesitate to implement it. This is easier than waiting for one big opportunity and doing it all at once. That chance may never come. The step-by-step approach can bring satisfying results.

Cosmic healing step-by-step...keep the good thought that I learn how to use the tire pump and my tires PSI and my mind get to where they need to be.  Have a good Wednesday.  

Well that was a start... :)

Good news, not-so-good news from yesterday BUT I did feel guided and led.  Lately I have been going to Shoprite/ALDI post walk, but yesterday was a full day online so I headed out early.  Pancake flat driver's side rear tire.  So with a day with 12 noon, 2 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. zoom getting this news earlier in the day than later - good news.  So I called AAA and the wait began. Did start the clothes washing machine. But as I reported out to PD buddy after AAA guy did his magic and I drove over to Zeller Tire - "Dry rot leak...no solution except keep adding air till it falls apart.  AAA guy was very kind, and Zeller guys were dead beat honest.  And told me to just stop in and they will fill.  :/"  So action AAA, Zeller, walked from Zeller to Shoprite where I got the bag-o-salad that was on sale-2 for $5.50 and my bananas just to get the "must haves" dealt with - $7.06/$2.48 day - and then walked back to Zeller to see what was up and got the dry rot news.  So then I emailed sister #4 to see what the brand is for the tire pump she uses when she tops me off when I am in Westerly.  No response yet, but I will hope to get my son involved in reaching out to Amazon to get it for me.  I am not an Amazon shopper and don't want to start.  Then got my car home. Landlord felt I was a bit dramatic as usual about how life was falling apart..."because of a flat tire?"...But moving to life without a car will be dramatic when it finally happens.  Walked to library to drop of Crying at H Mart and I picked up "A Fortune of Sand - SEPETYS.  And put a hold on my next Eggers - The Every.  The Circle has completely hooked me and I keep thinking about he was writing it in 2013...Prescient beyond belief.  So with my bananas and salad in hand, car in parking lot, I went into my ZOOMs.  All were just what I needed.  MEA, Mettle, and PA DC.  MEA in their signature super salesperson mode for their next offering outside of Santa Fe, NM and outside of my range of motion travel wise and money wise.  Oh well.  I am just glad they offer these free promotional sessions that I can go to.  I need a BREATHE session after my flat tire start to the day.  Mettle Health follow up conversation to Friday's webinar - wonderful.  PA DC kind and gentle people in the room as always.  There is something about my being in rooms with midwesterners or southerners that is just softer than the E/W coasts...  And I will ad a DC participant from Australia who I sent a video to and she came back with her update.  Kindness in living form.  The video was https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcgnZ55sAAs&t=718s  The Weight of Regret:  Finding Peace in Life's Messiness.

My car's "hospice" status feels real-er now.  Zeller guy said he could put a new tire on but it would need rim too and..."not worth it" based on state of car.  Sort of like when the doctor says - "Nothing else we can do".  There goes my drama again.  :)  

Today - another outreach to sister #4 about my pump.  Crickets from yesterday's outreach.  Run dishwasher.  CA DC at 1 p.m.  Death Sangha at 8 p.m.  What a perfect way to end the autumnal equinox.  On my clock I will be in the Sangha when it "officially" happens.  Walk will include a swing by ALDI.  Grapes, bread, eggs.  Had an outreach from former school #2 to get together on Thursday.  Walk/dinner.  I put it out there to meet at Shake Shack at our local Shoppes area and walk the rails-to-trails by there and then eat.  Will see if she bites.  That way I know I can get there regardless of state of car.  I can walk to Shoppes AND Thursday was the only day this week with nothing on my paper calendar so it feels like it was meant to be.  Will see if she bites or not.  

The Sun joins Mercury in your sign today and almost immediately you will notice that your thoughts are clearer and your words are sharper. Anyone who thinks they can bamboozle you with facts and figures is going to learn you are nobody’s fool.

Romantic connections and creative projects may require some maintenance, darling Libra, as the Aquarius Moon and Saturn align. Be considerate of how improving boundaries or personal structures will bring more harmony to your life, strengthening the relationships and goals that matter most. If you've felt restricted by what's considered acceptable, now is a good time to bend any rules that have been holding you back. A burst of hope finds you once the Sun enters your sign this evening, setting you up for an auspicious astrological month. Reaffirm your desires and aspirations as the universe offers up extra support. Attention from peers could feel overwhelming when Luna opposes Jupiter tonight, though these vibes can be harnessed for self-promotion.

Inspiration for writing, music, drawing, painting, or other creative activities could hover just out of reach today, Libra. Great ideas could pop into your head and out just as quickly. The only way to avoid the frustration of missing out on wonderful ideas is to write them down as soon as they come. Making notes can also stimulate further inspiration. Go for it!

The beginning of the Sun in my sign and autumnal equinox.  This week had no way it was NOT going to be something.  Will see what that something becomes.  No bamboozle and lots of notes...onward and upward.  :)  Have a good Tuesday.  

What is old is new again.

Finally reached back to find the interview that introduced me to Dave Eggers. (Kelly Corrigan).  Of course his flip phone is what hooked me.  :)  But of course he has "people" who fill the gaps he might have when it comes with living without a smart phone - is my thought.   https://www.pbs.org/video/dave-eggers-xfesuu/

Picture from that Chip Conley poem from his substack.  Keep coming back to that and Eggers and tech company.  I did have a question as I am reading CIRCLE...are there no chapters so you get that "can't stop and get my bearings" feeling?  Just my thought as I keep looking for a comfortable place to stop reading which chapters usually provide.  CIRCLE does not encourage comfortable stopping points.  :)  I can overthink anything.  

Yesterday - soggy but not soaking walk to Unionville, sibling call while walking, read CIRCLE, "seasoned water" for washing clothes today.  Interesting segment on ICT news yesterday about the fact that the government is considering closing National Archives in Seattle, San Francisco and Chicago...more freedom of information/access questions.  

Today - wash clothes, 12 noon MEA sales pitch, but I will go anyway - Live Event: Alchemy of Breath: Breathe Into Clarity, Courage, and Inner Guidance, 2 p.m. Mettle - Dive In and Digest: When Caregiving Comes to Work, 4:30 p.m. PA DC.  And fit in with that - Shoprite/ALDI - have to recheck what I need, walk, return Crying at H Mart...  But it is early so I think all will fit.  :)  Salad mix sale at Shoprite might be the clincher.  

Venus, your ruler, makes a challenging link to Uranus this weekend, so you could be in a rebellious mood. Nothing wrong with that, of course, but try not to say or do anything that might upset people in positions of power, including your employer.

Moody companions could dampen your morning, dearest Libra, as the Capricorn Moon aligns with Mars, the Sun, and Chiron. Rather than catering to those who only wish to complain, keep a low profile and tend to your own needs. A lighter and more communal energy makes it safer to socialize once Luna enters Aquarius. Meanwhile, Mercury and Jupiter form an auspicious alignment, and spreading joy can elevate your reputation. Think outside the box when practicing self-care or planning a date night as the Moon aspects Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus throughout the evening. Slow down with a relaxing project while Venus stirs tonight.

Don't be surprised if money comes from an unlikely source. It could be a surprisingly good return on an investment or a bequest from a relative. Pay attention to any dreams that seem to repeat. They may hold a lesson about understanding your life path. You may receive an unexpected visit from a dear friend you haven't heard from in years. All in all, this is a great time.

I will be all in on "this is a great time".  Looking to the balance the universe will bring in to play for autumnal equinox tomorrow.  :)  Have a good Monday.  

Very interesting day in a quiet way :)

Checked on the UNC-Clemson game at some point yesterday and it was in a weather delay. UNC up. Sister texted me at some point to say - UNC had lost...Yikes.  And NC State did something that had not happened in 1000+ games.  Duke won.  Wild day in the RTP.  

But sports was not a big part of my day - I went on an extended walk enjoying the weather.  Came home to homemade soup on my stoop.  Perfect timing.  I was trying to decide about meal #2.  Finished Crying in H Mart.  Will return that tomorrow in advance of the Tuesday due date.  Started CIRCLE by Eggers.  Very interesting segue from - Careless People book, All-In interview with Dina Powell McCormick, and now CIRCLE.  AND CIRCLE was written in 2013...The Circle is a 2013 dystopian novel written by American author Dave Eggers. The novel chronicles tech worker Mae Holland as she joins a powerful Internet company. Her initially rewarding experience turns darker.  

Big day in the flip mattress, move bed, flannel sheets.  Had planned to do it today but tomorrow it just called me.  So now I am set for the next quarter + a week as fall into winter.  Bed away from window walls, reading chair with lots of opp for light coming in as it gets colder.  

Set a 2 p.m. time on Wednesday to go to swimming lady's house to finish up with the Shoprite coupons and look at her medical directives.  Need to see if she addressed the MOLST form with her doctor.  Heard from a lady in CA who I knew would know many of the people associated in the "The Death Within the Death" program but a couple of people I knew were new to her. LOVE that when that happens.  

Today - dodge raindrops on my walk to Unionville and curl up with CIRCLE once the rain starts.  :)  Will check in to make sure TX/NM friend made it to NM with their caravan - her in their suburban with trailer and her husband in a rental truck packed to the gills.  It is normally a 12-13 hour drive. Not sure if all the load slowed them down.  House is still not sold in TX so I will leave the TX/NM in place until it does.  

Reached out to two birthday people - both in NC.  :)

A new solar year gets underway on Tuesday when the Sun moves into your sign, and with mind planet Mercury on your side as well, you most likely know exactly what you will be doing. It’s good to have a plan, and even better to put it to work.

Family obligations may cause you to miss out on more exciting events, dearest Libra, as the Capricorn Moon forms difficult aspects with Mercury and Jupiter. Instead of wallowing in misery, hatch a plan so you might have the best of both worlds. Splitting your time or inviting friends over can help you feel included without abandoning kin. Don't let a fear of upsetting the balance prevent you from changing up plans while Venus and Uranus form an off-kilter aspect. As long as you're willing to take initiative, loved ones won't seem so resistant to going with the flow.

If you've been having trouble reaching a romantic partner, Libra, it might be a good idea to stop trying. Your friend is having a rough day and might not make the best company. In fact, your beloved could view a call from you as an unwelcome interruption and be short, if not downright rude. If you speak with your friend, keep it brief and plan to get together - just not today.

3:41 a.m. as we speak.  Plenty of time to get do my morning routine and have the best chance to dodge raindrops. But I might delay my outreach to anyone today..."just not today". :)  Have a good Sunday.  

Lots of input today...it's "a thing" right now :)

Got a great card from friend in Cambridge MA.  Artist of the painting was new to me - https://www.kmmstudio.com/  Beautiful card and welcome message. And it tied into my fall brings change thoughts of late.  The sender is one of the kindest, most sensitive person I have encountered in my life.  Don't see her often, but she and her husband have been in and out of my life since 1975 when I moved up to Boston to live with her and my TX/NM friend while I killed some time before I left for Ecuador...I call it my drunken sailor phase.  TX/NM was a NICU nurse at Mass General, friend and her husband - musicians.  Husband went to and was hired right after graduation and is there to this day at Berklee College of Music.  They got me a temp job working at the Harvard Science Center in the cafeteria where lots of their musician friends made their "folding money".  Interesting times me.

Balance of yesterday - hope I remember it all...  walked, dropped off Contrapposto on the front end, had my satchel with me with my two plastic bottles I wanted to cash in at Shoprite, so headed there post library drop.  Beautiful day.  Had a couple of chats along the way.  One was with one of the pollinator trail ladies who work tirelessly on the rails-to-trails keeping them welcoming for all kinds of pollinators.  She took my passing by as a chance to sit for a minute (she was digging out invasive plants) and we talked about my uncomfortable relationship with nature - bugs, ticks, poison ivy and the like, my love of walking on asphalt and concrete - and then got to my no doctor/natural death desire and she said "I read this book that was so moving" and it was Dr. Kerr's - Death Is But a Dream: Finding Hope and Meaning at Life's End.  She appreciated my knowledge of his back story and how he found his way to hospice doctoring when he realized the people he wanted to care for were those who had just heard from their other doctors - "there is nothing else we can do".  To Dr. Kerr, that is the opening act of the relationship not the end. Very heartfelt conversation with someone I only know from my passing her and her co-pollinator ladies along my walks.  Got home at 1:10 p.m. (left at 10 a.m.)  Had Mettle Health zoom at 2 p.m. so I got ready for that.  Great discussion.  I am no longer in the workplace, but the conversation was very good reminding me what a crappy boss I was in Houston...I wouldn't say mean, but definitely uncaring about what people were bringing in the door with them when they reported for work.  BUT I still don't think I could cut it in today's workforce...my EQ...Emotional intelligence, or EQ, is the ability to understand, use, and manage your own emotions in positive ways to communicate well, show empathy, and handle conflict.  Run fast and break things, I don't come to work to make friends...NC was a good move for me on many levels...I don't know how much my EQ needle moved, but the setting did soften some of my edges.  After the ZOOM, I heard from some people I had sent the notice about The Death Inside the Death.  https://www.gracefulfusion.com/the-death-inside-the-death.  Very excited about this event ending September and beginning in October.  Kismet.  Cosmic.  I will just say timely for me.  To be in the zoom space with Lashana again will do my heart good.  And others on the line-up - "rock stars" in the death work community.  Back and forth with sister #1.  Vaya con dios message to niece #2 who is winging back to west coast today.  I am sorry I missed seeing her, but I am glad I did not travel more than I did last week. Back and forth with one of the swimming ladies - she still needs Shoprite coupon help and she wants me to go over her Advance Directive.  I gave her some times I could swing by and I told her we might need to take the bull by the Shoprite horns and she and I can go to the store and not leave until they figure out what email address and phone number they have for her account that is gumming up the online coupon work.  She is 86.  I plan on planning the "old" card.  :) Read Crying at H Mart.  Due back without renewal option on Sept 22...better hustle.  

Today - walk.  Nothing else on paper calendar.  Will spend as much time out and about as possible.  Rain forecast for all day tomorrow.  Wet sneaker walk to Unionville - again this week. And take a chunk of time to finish Crying.  :)  Added a "Breathe" event to my  Monday, Sept 21.  Will be a good Equinox lead up - Live Event: Alchemy of Breath: Breathe Into Clarity, Courage, and Inner Guidance. Noon my time.  So noon MEA, 2 p.m. Mettle Health discussion group about yesterday's webinar, 4 p.m. PA DC.  So will see how weekend sets me up for Monday. :)  6:32 a.m. already this morning.  

TX/NM friend will be pulling out of TX with the moving truck this a.m.  1995-2026 for her TX stay.  Another twist of destiny - I left TX after 15 years there in 1995.  Always wonder what the "what if" might have been if the NC move had not happened.  But of course my "what if" list is volumes.  :)

Venus, your ruler, makes a challenging link to Uranus this weekend, so you could be in a rebellious mood. Nothing wrong with that, of course, but try not to say or do anything that might upset people in positions of power, including your employer.

You're entitled to a deep sleep after the busy work week, dearest Libra. As the Capricorn Moon and Neptune square off, take extra steps to ensure your beauty rest isn't disturbed. You'll feel refreshed and ready to continue along the path of leisure when Venus activates, and should treat yourself to delicacies you typically save for special occasions. A bit of luxury, time spent in your cozy home, and laid-back company will fortify the spirit and recharge your batteries. Consider enjoying some solitude and self-care while Saturn grows restless later tonight, as loved ones could easily grate on your nerves.

A passionate encounter with a love partner might cement the bond between you so thoroughly that you start talking about commitment or even a wedding. A romantic haze may permeate your interactions. Still, exercise some restraint in expressing your feelings. Hitting your friend with too much at once could have the opposite effect from the one you're hoping for. Be patient!

Solitude - no problem.  Patience...you know the answer to that for me.  :)  Have a great Saturday.  

September is turning into "a month" of change and chances :)

So distracted by shiny objects last night.  :)  Right before I went into the webinar - Disappearing Grief: A History of Mourning in Plain Sight and Out of Sight I got an email announcing a new program led by a DC facilitator from COVID times.  Incredible woman and she has gathered a very - to me - impressive line up of people for a week of talks Sept 28-Oct 2.  https://www.gracefulfusion.com/the-death-inside-the-death.  Nicole and names I know and some I do not.  Very exciting.  Two sessions a day, 5 days in a row.  September will end with a bang.  I have shared with some and will share more today.  I also need to rewatch the grief webinar.  The presenter did a great job showing the history of grief practices in the US and some cross cultural references.  

AND I did not wake up this a.m. until 5:30 a.m....and had a full dream night.  My mind was stimulated for sure by Nicole's announcement.  The Death Inside the Death: Family Dynamics, Death & the Healing You Didn't Expect. Monday, Sept 28 — The Truth Nobody Says Out Loud with Amy Wright Glenn & Lashana Williams Tuesday, Sept 29 — Why You Feel Twelve Again with Stephen Jenkinson and Daniel Maté Wednesday, Sept 30 — Surviving the Foxhole with Dr. Karen Wyatt and me, Nicole (yes — I'm in the interview chair too that day) Thursday, Oct 1 — The Death Inside the Death with Francesca Arnoldy and Claire Bidwell Smith Friday, Oct 2 — Portal to Healing with Wilka Roig and Pixie Lighthorse.  I am a complete fan girl for Williams, Wyatt, Roig and of course Nicole.  And have never "been in a room" with Stephen Jenkinson...very exciting.  

​

So balance of yesterday - started reading Crying in H Mart/Zauner - came from the "Read a Red Book" display at my library.  All the books in the kiosk had red covers.  :)  Good so far.  Walked. Talked to son on phone.  He has had an interesting Sept too and more company and events to come.  Sounded like he had recharged his social battery.  Then N CA DC at 2 p.m.  Then 7 p.m. grief webinar. 

Today - "late" start, walk, drop off Eggers' Contrapposto, 2 p.m. Mettle talk.  When Caregiving Comes to Work: Supporting Employees Through Illness.  Ties in a bit with last night's Grief webinar - bereavement leave should be labeled "funeral leave".  3 days that is offered at many workplaces does not cover anything but a very efficient to and from a funeral event.  Supposed to be beautiful days today and tomorrow and a wash out on Sunday so I will take full advantage of being outside.  Morning listens - All In Summit Meta's Dina Powell and then Nick Shirley...  

Mercury in your sign is at odds with Saturn today, which among other things suggests that partners and colleagues may be rather negative about your ideas. Don’t make an issue of it though because by early next week their opinions will no longer matter.

You may feel as though loved ones are being unnecessarily stubborn or cold, dearest Libra. Try not to overreact or read into these behaviors while Mercury opposes Saturn, which could prevent you from seeing the full picture. Self-reflection can help you determine the best course of action under the Sagittarius quarter Moon, but you'll need to watch out for obsessive thoughts. If your mind becomes too busy, consider journaling or venting to a discreet friend. Petty squabbles dissolve as Luna forms a kite alignment with Chiron and the nodes of fate before entering Capricorn, making it easier to relax and open your heart.

 Initiate a major change in your life, Libra. Break free of the humdrum and launch into something exciting. Take part in an online class that expands your mind. Consider yoga, tarot, or any form of martial arts. You have a tremendous amount of energy today. It will help you maintain confidence and endurance as you do the groundwork to put this new life-enhancing endeavor in motion.

I am feeling an energy of late...see where it takes me.  Have a good Friday.  

Tried something new - an interesting angle for me :)

Wandering of late.  Fall season.  Looking for some new input channels.  Being sad not seeing niece #2 but not sad about not going to the Cape.  Back and forth with blog boss about an blog possible article.  Singlehood: The Good Deaths of Those Who Never Marry  He reached out to the author.  Dr. DePaulo.  Never have seen but heard that the show that won Jean Smart all the Emmys closed out the season with an episode with Dignitas as a focus. Back and forth by email with son.  His "social battery" was running low.  I shared with him: As to social battery...I have not recharged mine for years.  :)  Glad you are out celebrating...but ...it does mean your group is aging.  :)  Make sure you charge your battery for the autumnal equinox!   Arrives on Tuesday, September 22, at 8:04 P.M. EDT (5:04 P.M. PDT) in the Northern Hemisphere.  Looks like Detroit is joining in.  Listened to JD and Satya.  What a world.  When thinking of All-in discussions and batteries...I have "batteries that only work at analog level not digital" :)  as to my integration in where things sit now with technology.  Limiting, but now enough to make me up my game.  

So yesterday - cleaned apt, walked with family friend, her daughter and her grandson.  EOLD - very sentimental with the Nervous System Support session and the send off for the facilitator who is embedding herself into her community.  I so wish her the best.  Son and I had a great breakfast and stroll in her town back in Dec 2024.  https://heartbloomyoga.com/  Then discovered a new DC on the DC web site and joined in at 7 p.m.  Only 3 of us in the room, but so worth the hour.  Very glad I stumbled into the room.  Will see if this becomes a "third Wed" thing.  Trying to wrap up latest Eggers'.  Would love to drop that off tomorrow.  We will see.  

Today - N CA DC at 2, Disappearing Grief: A History of Mourning in Plain Sight and Out of Sight at 7 p.m.  Not sure what drew me to it to sign up, but ready to see.  I am not a big grief person...hard to be a big grief person when you are not a big love person.  "c'est la vie"  

Spoke to sister #6.  She called about a good student of hers who is looking for a more challenging academic setting.  I shared with her about a virtual Open House at former school #2.  Public high schools are not kind places sometimes.  And for really ambitious students may not fill all the holes they want to fill.  Sister #4 is scheduled to leave the Cape for home today.  Lobster rolls at Capt Parkers on Monday, Swordfish on Wed night for her.  Didn't not hear about Tuesday p.m.  But can see from sister #1's tally at Stop & Shop...$400+ in on purchases in one week.  Yikes!!!  :)

Make the most of the next few days to get your plans worked out for the final few months of the year. If you can hit the ground running when the Sun moves into your sign next week your rivals won’t be able to live with you.

Trust that your ideas are worth sharing, darling Libra, as the Sagittarius Moon aligns with Mercury and Saturn. The people around you will be happy to see you come out of your shell, and may have valuable insights to help further your agenda. You'll also have a chance to establish healthy social boundaries without feeling awkward or unkind. Chiron backslides into Aries this evening, asking you to heal issues around love and romance between now and April 13, 2027. Being aware of how others throw you off balance is a good place to start. Auspicious encounters could lead to exciting connections when Jupiter activates tonight.

Are you presently negotiating a contract, Libra? If you and the other party disagree on any points, these differences will most likely be resolved. You'll probably come up with an idea that creates a win/win situation so both of you feel good about it. This will strengthen your relationship considerably, so expect partnership matters to progress smoothly. Enjoy your day.

Plan, auspicious encounters, enjoy my day...I will give it all a whirl.  :)  Have a good Thursday.
