No puffy coat, but still chilly on walk

Working through the weekend.  Cousin traveling yesterday.  Sister today.  Son tomorrow.  Call from landlord saying that water will be turned off today for a few hours so we will try to synchronize our watches so that happens during my walk.  Unfortunately a rainy day forecast, but I can use the rails-to-trails/town public bathroom options if needed.  I will hope that the landlord feels efficient today.  

Picture to picture frame from son that was not what I wanted to see as he winds things down, but I will keep the good thought that all is well and he will be winging back to US tomorrow.  And just got notice that ZEN DC is cancelled for tomorrow...I will try to get my zen from somewhere else.  Wish me luck.  It is the BOF budget workshop, so I guess I will not be double booked tomorrow.  

Yesterday - walked to Shoppes with a side trip to check out ALDI.  Still not seeing enough to make my shopping a two stop process.  Will stick with Shoprite and my coupons.  Dropped off Chevalier book.  Started reading the latest Reacher.  Low brow, but entertaining.  :)

Today.  I will head out at 10-ish and wander until I get the signal that the water is back on.  It will be an umbrella walk.  Albany CA DC tonight.  

The more tuned in you are to a loved one’s thoughts and feelings the more likely it is you will be able to predict what they are going to do next. Keep your eyes and ears open over the next few days and try to see the world from their viewpoint.

Prioritize harmony and sweetness as the Aries Sun and Neptune unite, darling Libra, even if you know the sensation will be fleeting. You have a chance to strengthen relationships and establish personal balance if you relinquish control and melt into bliss. Leave your problems for another day, and get in touch with your body. Recognizing how tension has been manifesting physically when Mercury aligns with the nodes of fate. Release stress and close chapters while recommitting to a healthier path. Sacrifice a vice and the universe will reward you once the Taurus Moon and Uranus join forces later tonight.

A business or romantic partner may seem a bit preoccupied with some very serious matters today, Libra, and not be likely to share them with you. Asking to talk about it won't work, so you'll probably end up depending on your intuition. Your friend is probably concerned with the health of a family member who may need surgery. Don't feel excluded. Your friend will talk when the time is right. Be patient!

Tuned in, harmony and sweetness, release stress, patience...yikes, my cosmic guidance is putting me to the test.  Wish me luck.  Have a good Sunday.  

Now on to Spring...hope the temperature gets the memo :)

Had my puffy jacket on for the walk on Friday.  Family friend joined in on her return from Florida.  Had the balance of my CPP from landlady.  Read some of latest Chevalier - Burning Bright.  Will hope to finish today.  Went out for a second short walk after I ate.  

Nothing on my paper calendar.  But today is "pick of the weekend" per weatherman.  I will wander.  Sister #6 called as I was on my second walk.  She is re-homing her dog today.  Will see if that accomplishes what it is meant to for her.  

I am floundering in the season change.  Also the change ahead for son as he sets a new course.  

Realized the Wed shows were on so watched all 3.  One before walk #1 and two after.  Sobbing during the first.  :)  Looking for distractions to get me through to Tuesday.  

You may have to cancel your social plans this weekend to focus on your work but you will be happy to do so. A fantastic Mars-Jupiter link will bring opportunities to move up on the work front and you are not about to waste them.

Connections intensify as the Taurus Moon and Pluto align, dear Libra, but charged emotions may cloud your judgment. Be mindful of the impact others have on you, especially in romance. Pump the brakes on any relationships that are moving too quickly or cause you to act out of character. It will be easier to engage your practical side when Luna, Mercury, and the nodes of fate stir midafternoon. Prioritize healthy decisions and dynamics, even if this process triggers some sorrow. You'll feel more in control and optimistic once Mars and Jupiter form an elevating aspect this evening. 

Memories welling up today could trigger a desire to get in touch with old friends, Libra, or relatives you haven't seen in a long time. Some of these recollections could be bittersweet, bringing pain experienced in the past to the surface once more. Don't hang on to these ancient grievances. Work them out in your mind and then let them go. You might experience a deep-seated relief. You could even feel a little lightheaded.

More of my eye on future than memories today...fingers crossed that relief is the way.  Have a good Saturday.  

Thursday was interesting... :)

2:01 a.m. and my writing and eating, then back to bed.  Then back up at 8:45 a.m.  Read for a bit, ready to go out for walk at 10 a.m. AND got text from landlady that Chicken Pot Pie will be on my stoop for my meal #2 today (and it showed up right on time at 2:48 p.m.)  :)  Good news after this topsy-turvy morning.  

So walked, ran into family friend as she was on way to the dump and library after her Florida trip.  We will meet up to walk this a.m.  Got text from sister #4 and TX/NM friend that they both got to where they were going - Florida and NM.  Massage Thursday - just what I needed after the people week last week.  Package arrived before 6 p.m. on Wednesday so no money back...oh well.  

Today - walk.  Thursday shows.  Nothing on my paper calendar until Sunday.  Will see what comes up to fill the time.  Happy Spring.  

As the Sun moves into your opposite sign today your rivals and competitors, and maybe some of your friends as well, will be more confrontational. But that’s okay as you enjoy being challenged – it gives you the chance to prove yourself.

Prioritize vibrant, harmonious relationships throughout the coming weeks, darling Libra. As the Sun enters Aries, you're invited to enjoy sweet moments with your dearest companions. Establishing a more efficient routine will free up time to spend with your favorite people. As Mercury stations direct this afternoon, consider where adjustments are needed. Tackle errands and chores alongside your partner in crime to have the best of both worlds. Release romantic hurts from the past when Chiron stirs later today. Discussions pertaining to commitment and shared resources could emerge once Luna drifts into Taurus tonight. 

Work may seem more like a drag than usual, as today your thoughts are at home with family, friends, and your partner in life, Libra. You're unlikely to concentrate on work, and you might reach for the phone constantly to seek a friendly voice. Images of beautiful objects may dance in your head. Don't worry about your concentration. It will be back tomorrow!

Spring Equinox - one of my holidays.  Keep a good thought for uplift today.  :)  Have a good Friday.  

Up early - slight understatement

Not sure what woke me up this morning.  2:01 a.m. as we speak.  But I will go with it.  

Yesterday - no walk with family friend as usual on Wednesday a.m. so I did some extra cleaning around the apartment, EOLD, walked to Shoppes, stopped and restocked at library, back home to eat another leftovers meal (breakfast has bacon with pancakes!), started watching BOF/BOE meeting but was very disappointed in the content of the BOE chairperson.  Turned it off.  Started watching Monday's FBI show, but was not "caught".  Did watch the ending this a.m.  :)  Made note that the overnight package got to Albuquerque at 4:30 p.m.  I would have gotten my money back if it was late - after 6 p.m..  Oh well.  TX/NM friend won't even get to ABQ until tonight...Tuesday had a bit of wasted energy/money feel.  :)

Pic on picture frame from son.  Not sure what it is feeling like to be wrapping things up for now.  Never know what is up his sleeve.  

Today - no Wednesday shows to watch this a.m.  Hmmm...lots of time to fill this a.m.  Walk.  Massage Thursday at 1 p.m.  

You will need to be more assertive than normal over the next few days as the Sun’s move into the partnership area of your chart will encourage people you deal with on a one-to-one basis to put their own interests first. Your interests matter too.

Passion and intensity build within matters of the heart, sweet Libra, as the Aries Moon aspects Saturn and Pluto. Relationships will become serious, and you'll begin to examine what you truly want in a long-term partnership. Recognize if you need to release old wounds or cycles that have spoiled connections in the past. On an individual level, it might be time to rediscover a love for yourself. Creative outlets and reconnecting with neglected personal interests could prove most healing. Acknowledge if you require more discipline to ensure your dreams come true while Luna squares Jupiter, vowing to move forward with renewed determination and better structures. 

A trip by air could be very much on your mind today. Perhaps you're planning a vacation with your family or a romantic partner. You could well be caught up in the excitement that seems to be the driving emotion today. Friends could offer advice, Libra, but you aren't in the space to accept it, as your self-confidence is high. Expect to spend the evening in the congenial company of friends.

No travel in my future.  Will see if anything else surfaces to inspire me.  Have a good Thursday.  

Well that was a day!

So many things that bother me about myself came to roost yesterday.  Lots to think about today.  Started at Shoprite - It was a $20.42/$9.78 day.  Not much to buy.  People have filled my "pantry" in various ways of late - dinners out, leftovers, eating with friends, chickens starting to lay eggs with the weather change...so a bread, pasta, grapes, bananas, cheese, oranges day.  Ran dishwasher.  Got a text from TX/NM friend that she left some stuff at the house she was staying at and would I go up and gather them and send them to her to NM, her next stop.  So I did.  Waited for the PO to open, posted it and had it ready for a $12.95 trip to NM, arrive by Friday.  And headed out for my walk.  About half way into my walk, I thought...maybe there was an expectation in her "what's money" life that it would land today...so I cut my walk short by a bit and was huffing and puffing when I got to the PO to ask the guy if the package had gone out yet.  He said no, and I said can I turn it into overnight?  He said yes, but I need to cancel the first order and I would need the credit card I used, so I ran to the apt - tripping UP the back stairway, skinning my shin, got the credit card and hustled back and sent the package on  $34.15 trip to arrive by 6 p.m. tonight.  Then when I sent the tracking info to TX/NM friend, she said "wow, did you expedite things, I have extras of everything, but thanks."  Could have saved myself a run, skinned shin and $22 dollars to have stayed with my initial thought...You can imagine I kicked myself around the block about that.  

The next thing in my day helped.  CA DC with ice pack on my shin.  Talk of space and grace, being a better receptor and sender of kindness and acceptance.  Then another walk to clear my head from all that the day had brought to mind. I checked my email before I left and found an email from son.  He is sticking to his original return date of March 23...that was a shock to me.  I was torn between wanting it to be completely and totally the right place at the right time and him being back in the US. Will see where this next chapter leads.  Again, his parents changed their lives drastically at his age, maybe it is a genetic change time.  Then getting ready to go to swimming lady's house for corned beef and cabbage.  Interesting being the youngest in the room.  Mid to late 80's in age and various level of hearing impairment.  Conversations changed course frequently due to what was heard at one end of the table or the other.  :)  

Looked down to see a 5:55 a.m. this morning on my computer clock as I started to write this - The 555 angel number is a powerful sign of major life changes, personal growth, and transformation, indicating that significant shifts are coming. It is a message to embrace these changes with an open mind, as they represent divine guidance and positive opportunities rather than coincidences.

Today - woke up "late".  Plan is clean apt, walk, EOLD, BOF/BOE meeting.  I might physically go to this one since the weather will not be terrible.  Could not be more thankful that tomorrow is massage Thursday.  :)  

The message of the stars now is that you must find ways to lessen the heavy load you’ve been carrying. That should be a lot easier to do when the Sun moves into the partnership area of your chart on Friday. Until then, just chill.

Watch out for love bombing behaviors within yourself and others, dearest Libra. A passionate, emotionally charged atmosphere breaks down romantic barriers as Venus and Jupiter square off. Unfortunately, a rushed commitment could cause connections to burn out. If you're already in a relationship, do something thoughtful for your partner when the Sun and Uranus align this afternoon. Reassess and set improved wellness goals under tonight's Pisces New Moon, focusing on where you want to see improvements throughout the next six months. An enchanting energy surrounds you once Luna enters Aries and joins forces with Neptune, encouraging you to melt into sweetness. 

Overindulgence last night could have left you feeling a little woozy today, Libra. You're may want to spend the day in bed, but the prospect of leaving tasks undone could cause you to push on anyway. That's a bad idea. Rest is just what you need. Don't force yourself to socialize, either. You need some time alone to recover and gather your resources so you can face the world with a clear head.

Will try and let the day come to me...wish me luck.  Have a good Wednesday.  

Stormy day for many

I had a 1:11 p.m. yesterday.  Good message.  Many had life disrupted by storms yesterday.  TX/NM friend and husband had a heck of a time getting home yesterday by air.  But got there with a bit of a delay.  Niece #4 was stuck in Chicago with car parked in CT and possibly flying into NYC with the storm reroute...Another chapter in my "why I stay put" book of life.  :)  And it seems like many in my neighborhood are without power this a.m.  :/

But yesterday - long SOGGY walk, washed clothes, Mettle Health webinar follow up discussion, PA DC, Town BOF/BOS meeting.  I logged on to meeting.  Stayed on until they got through the announcement that if they took the cover off the pool and there was any damage...no fix.  Replace but no fix going forward.  Fingers crossed that it is intact when the top comes off in April.  Had an incredible leftovers meal #2 yesterday between Mettle and PA.  Clam chowder/a stuffed clam/salad from Saturday lunch from SFH, the dessert from my dinner at the restaurant.  

Today - Shoprite, run dishwasher, walk, CA DC, St Pat's Day dinner.  Will have to see if power outage impacts dinner.  Swimming lady's house is on what appears to be the dark side of the neighborhood as I look out my window.  

The cosmic picture is changing and you must change with it. Start by resolving to be more relaxed when dealing with people whose outlook on life is very different to your own. Not everyone can be as positive and optimistic as you.

It's time to get back on track, dearest Libra, as the Pisces Moon aspects the nodes of fate and Mercury RX. If you've fallen out of sync with wellness routines, neglected skills that are now rusty, or find yourself behind on chores, you're cosmically called to reverse the damage. The satisfaction gained from seizing control of your life provides an endurance boost, thanks to a helping hand from Mars midafternoon. Your efficiency also benefits, allowing you to breeze through tasks that once felt daunting. Dream big after you're all caught up and Jupiter activates this evening, trusting that you can add more to your plate. 

There is a great deal of unexpected communication coming your way today, Libra, but be careful about the people you trust. There's an element of fantasy factored into the picture. This might cause some disruption if you automatically accept everything at face value. Make sure you check your sources at least twice before proceeding. You'll be much better off if you prepare for the worst.

As always, will see where the day takes me.  Hope my sneakers are dry enough for a comfortable walk.  Have a good Tuesday.  

Week ahead with a smattering of people :)

TX/NM heading out this a.m.  Flight got moved earlier due to weather heading in.  So left for this week - St Pat's Day dinner and Massage Thursday for in person interactions.  Did get left with lots of leftovers from TX/NM group - English muffins, clam chowder/crackers, salad/dressing, bacon!, and other bits and pieces.  Will be a good eating week this week.  

Yesterday - walked twice with TX/NM and by myself and met up for dinner.  Not sure how I filled the in between, but did have to put on "regular" shoes and almost "re-pierce
my ears to wear earrings so took me a bit longer to get ready.  

Today - wash clothes, walk before the weather moves in, Mettle Health - open discussion of Friday's webinar - at 2 p.m., PA DC at 4:30 p.m., BOF meeting at 6 p.m.  3:57 a.m. as we speak.  Will see how the day goes.  

Was curious as I have been in my car - Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday of late.  So checked my mileage.  184,328.  Looked back 3/13/25 - 182,755.  Not much road warrior left in me.  :)  

There is still time to do something special on the work front and the approaching new moon will encourage you to follow your instincts even when they go against what the so-called experts are telling you. Trust yourself before you trust other people.

Be your quirkiest and weirdest self with someone who will match your energy, dearest Libra. As the Aquarius Moon and Chiron align, your heart heals through connection and play. Laughter provides much-needed release, and you'll feel celebrated by those who indulge your unique brand of humor. Unfortunately, not everyone will be in the mood to blow off steam once Luna squares Uranus this afternoon. If a loved one isn't responding to your jests, give them some space or ask if they need support. Emotionally invest in your health and wellness journey after the Moon enters Pisces later today. 

If you've been thinking about trying some new investments or starting a new savings plan, this is the day to get started, Libra. You're a lot more mentally focused than usual. People around you might have ideas that you should consider. You might experience some intuitive insights, so go with your gut. Don't let your mind get in the way. Tonight, keep a notebook by your bed to record your dreams!

I have been recording remembered dreams for a bit now...always looking for signs as to next steps.  :)  Have a good Monday.
