More miles.... :)

One lady in the W&T book club likes to take a picture each time to post on her FB...  :)  Oh well.  It was a beautiful day for a walk.  Left the apt at 12:30-ish and arrived at 1:50-ish and got home at 3:30-ish.  Other than book club, spent much of day reading and finishing and dropping off at library on my way to book club - Don't Be Evil. Felt less than no sympathy for the woman writing that book... Started The Every last night.  Did not realize it was a direct follow of The Circle. 

Today - Walk to Unionville, Death Sangha.  Rain is supposed to come later this afternoon.  Heard from college friend in Jacksonville - "water in her lanai".  Acquaintance near Tampa - rain but no issues.  Sibling call - sister #1 and gentleman caller should be leaving Cape on Tuesday or Wednesday.  Still have one week until TX/NM friend arrives, sisters 4 & 6.  Oct 21 and 24, respectively.  Sisters just an overnight.  TX/NM friend in area for a week.  

Life has been pretty good to you of late, but there is one area that has been in a worrying state of flux. Now things have started to calm down, you can push ahead again with a creative project that has been very much on-off in recent weeks.

Last night's New Moon had you riding a serious high, dearest Libra, but you're called back down to earth as Luna enters Scorpio. To make this transition more comfortable, surround yourself with food for the senses. Anxieties around money could arise when Pluto casts a shadow midafternoon, but try not to equate self-worth with financial success. Trust that you'll have ample opportunities to accumulate wealth when Luna and Venus rx unite, and work on appreciating all that you have. Avoid looking over your shoulder to compare what others have manifested in contrast to your own journey when Mars grows restless tonight.

Someone you care about but haven't seen for a long time could suddenly contact you. You'd usually love this, Libra, but today you could be too caught up in projects of your own to want to put them aside. But you will have a lot of fun with this person, and you might even interest him or her in your project. After finishing your work, get some delicious takeout.

Don't anticipate any other humans crossing my path today but will stay alert.  I do appreciate what I have and make conscious choices based on needs/haves.  :)  Have a good Sunday.  

Wandering day

My great nephew is ready for Halloween.  :)  Wish my son lived closer to his cousin and her family.  Think they would be great friends.  :)  "One of one day at a time."  As son set the tone of his current life as to the current single status.  Onward and upward.  

Good news for UNC basketball last night.  Will see how football goes today.  

My day yesterday - watched L&O's from Thursday night and then headed out for walk at 10 a.m.  Got home at 1:30 p.m.  Ran into someone on the rails to trails and walked her and her dog back to her car...then retraced my steps back to where I turned around with her.  Beautiful day so no complaints on my part.  :)  

Today - Listen to All-In, watch Boston Blue if I can get it for free, walk to W&T book club.  Not sure what else will pop in to day.  

Don’t listen to those who say you are aiming too high because today’s new moon in your sign will both guide and protect you and make impossible things look almost easy. The universe wants you to succeed, and you don’t want to disappoint it!

You're blessed with renewed hope and a desire to improve your situation, dearest Libra. As the New Moon rises in your sign, you'll feel more aware of how much can change in a year. With your birthday season in full swing, reflect upon what has transpired since your last solar return and what you'd like to accomplish before next year's. Set goals in six-month increments, reviewing progress during the Libra Full Moon on March 22, 2027. You could hear from an old friend when Venus rx squares Mars midafternoon, but tread carefully with anyone who has burned you in the past. Luckily, loyal companions will surround you with love and support once Luna aspects Jupiter later today, creating a buffer against negativity.

Your mind is usually quick, agile, and hungry for information, Libra. Today it's likely to be even more so than usual. Your curiosity is high, and you could go to unusual lengths to satisfy it. You might also feel particularly energetic and want to get in a good workout. This is a good idea. Exercise can clear your head and give you a better perspective on new ideas and information.

Hmmm - between now and March 22 2027.  I will think about this goal setting directive.  Have a good Saturday.  

External world "VENN" diagramed on my day. :)

Walking up to a 3:33 a.m.  Will see if action opps appear today.  Nothing on my paper calendar but going to be a great wandering day with the weather.  

So yesterday...watched my 3 Chicago shows.  2.5 before I headed to AAA for my license renewal work. On way to AAA stopped at walk up at BOA to cash cat tending check.  Whole AAA work was less than 15 minutes.  Lady did look at the first picture she took and said - "maybe we should try that again"...I did take the 8 year option so she felt that looking at that first pic for 8 years would be hard.  :)  I don't expect to be driving for 8 years, but went for the 8 over 2...  I saw the Medicare $90 in my bank in the morning so I thought that was a sign to just do it.  So with that $90 and my cat tending $, I got Even Stephen with pumper upper, power cord and license.  Getting ahead?...not my style.  :)  So in car to BOA, AAA, couldn't think of any other stops, watched end of 3rd Chicago show, walk, sister #6 called.  She was with sisters 1 and 4 on the Cape.  #4 took the ride she had asked if I wanted to go with.  Walking around looking at shops and Capt Parker's for dinner...no draw there.  

Today - L&O 2 shows to watch from last night.  Am thinking I will be locked out from watching CBS shows with the new Sundance configuration, but will try on Saturday a.m. to watch Boston Blue.  Might be good for my brain and soul if I can't watch that show.  :)  So watch L&O, walk.  Will see what else falls into day.  Will so my Saturday walk route today since I will do Friday route tomorrow to work with the W&T book club.  

You may be inclined to spend time evaluating your goals and whether or not you are moving closer to them, but the new moon in your sign this weekend makes such self-reflection pointless. Just be ready to move fast when a new opportunity presents itself.

Cosmic refreshment is on the way, dearest Libra, as Luna makes her debut in your sign. Aspects with outer planets Neptune, Pluto, and Uranus allow you to juggle multiple agendas at once, but try not to lose sight of what is most important. Set intentions and check in with yourself before the day begins. Compare what must be done with what you would like to do, and look for ways to split the difference. Mars stirs this afternoon, asking you to prioritize goals you are passionate about. Just don't get too distracted, or you may be forced to work late into the evening when Luna opposes Saturn.

An unexpected and perhaps not altogether welcome call could come your way today, Libra. It could come from someone you don't particularly care for or someone who has some disconcerting news to report. Whichever it is, you will probably just have to deal with it. However, you may feel about the caller or what he or she has to report, you will probably consider it important to have the conversation.

Hmmm....move fast, cosmic refreshment...disconcerting news.  We will see.  But feels like a good Friday ahead from my morning perch.  :)  Have a good Friday.  

Feels like another "action day" :)

This pic is for my son.  While he and I were on the phone yesterday, he got a text from a lady he had had a couple of dates with...no mas.  Friends but no romance was her decision...I had hoped for a different outcome and I hope that he did not inherit "my gene" about not making a meaningful place in my life to commit to any relationship.  Living alone - I have made it work and have had a very interesting life, but never committed to being there for another person - in a girlfriend/boyfriend, husband/wife way...over 70+ years...not traumatic in a what happened way, but unknown as to what could have happened.  Want a different outcome for my son.  Time will tell. 

Yesterday - cleaned apt, walked with family friend, EOLD - speaker had to reschedule so it was just an "ask us anything" session by the facilitators and it was interesting.  Then I took a second walk - walked to library to drop off Krueger and pick up two more books.  Holiday on Monday...had to be prepared because I think the "Don't Be Evil" will be a quick read.  Just like the whistleblower at one tech giant, this is intriguing as to what those hip and happening and money printing companies are like on the inside.  

Today - 9 a.m. license renewal AAA appt, then bank. Guess I will go for the 8 versus 2 year renewal - that will make it completely Even Stephen as to money in for cat tending and money out for pumper upper, power cord, license renewal.  :/  Will check and see if I got my $90 medicare $.  Fingers crossed.  :)  Will see about watching Chicago Wednesday shows.  Hope the technology of that has not changed since last season.  More fingers crossed.  Son, money, Chicago.  :)

Stand back from what you are working on and try to see it from both a higher and a wider perspective. It’s not that you are doing it wrong, but if you give yourself more options, the results will far exceed what you managed to get done before.

Your mind will be busy but disorganized, darling Libra, which may cause you to feel a bit on edge. The void-of-course Virgo Moon could be to blame for any discomfort you experience. Journaling can be useful if recurring thoughts refuse to subside. Staying active with tasks that don't require much brain power can also help you move stagnant energy that's causing restlessness. Subconsciously zoning out or daydreaming will seem more frequent and problematic, especially if you have a demanding work environment. Take frequent breaks to collect yourself in private, using mindfulness practices that center on focus and mental agility.

Be careful about being too boisterous and chipper around people who don't exactly feel the same way, Libra. Be sensitive to other people's feelings, and don't make jokes that are too harsh for the occasion. No one appreciates a wise guy. There's a somber mood to the day that's likely to form a dark cloud by late afternoon. Do your best to be the ray of sunshine and not the bolt of lightning.

Stand back, look for options, be a ray of sunshine...big asks, but I will give it a whirl.  :)  Have a good Thursday.

Action day Tuesday

Not sure what got me going yesterday but I checked off a lot of boxes.  Ran dishwasher. Finished Krueger. Started "Don't Be Evil".  Voted - state now has universal absentee ballots AND early voting. Bad government that we have both...but nobody stepped back and said - "if this passes, we don't need that" in time enough. Works for me since I live right next to town hall.  Sent some vacay money to son for his trip with his father later this month and to "cover" all the holidays between now and end of year.  I am not a presents kind of gal. Walk. Swung by swimming lady's to see how trip to AZ went and get my cat tending money.  Embarrassed that she pays me, but with tire pumper upper, power cord, license renewal...I will take it.  Swung by the flower bridge to take a picture to send to sister #1 since she funds the pot in memory of our parents. Talked for an hour...so not me...with sister #4.  She wanted to know if I wanted to go to Cape with her this weekend to see sister #1 and 6.  I declined. She closed down her pool yesterday. Seems like a lot of $ and work for a season that is Memorial Day to Oct 1.  Oh well.  Not mine and not mine as to $ or work.  Decided to not "go to" the Death Sangha last night.  The 8 p.m. start time is "too late" now that it is getting dark so much earlier.  Had a call from a NC friend who is in memory care at the CCRC...I thought her husband had said she was not with her phone or email...it was a very lucid and aware conversation and her sadness was palpable...will be curious if I hear from the husband if she shares with him that she called me.  So painful for me.  

Talked with sister #4 about the $90 to old people...her friends got it, I have not, she had not.  I will be on the lookout.  

Chicago shows premiere tonight...will have to get that on my viewing schedule for tomorrow a.m.  :)

Today - clean apt, walk with family friend, EOLD -  Rooted Until the End: Community, Place and the Art of Dying Well with Catherine Campion.  AND today I crack open the orange marmalade I bought awhile back! For my egg and toast breakfast rotation.  Big gastro day!  :)  Tomorrow - license renewal, bank to cash cat tending check, will think about whether there is anything else I need while I am out and about in car on a "non-car day".  Usually only go out in car on Mondays but realized that the upcoming Monday was a holiday so didn't know if that would work for the license renewal.  Saturday - W&T book club.  Nothing else on my paper calendar for the week.  

It may be that you are set in your ways and reluctant to change what you see as a winning formula but what occurs today will encourage you to be a bit more adventurous. The only way an old problem can be resolved is by adopting new methods.

Full circle moments will delight and surprise you, dearest Libra. Pay extra attention to synchronistic meetings while Mars and Uranus align, as the universe may deliver messages through the people you encounter. Try not to overthink perceived signs from beyond when the Virgo Moon squares Uranus, or you could miss their true meaning. If you need further confirmation about something that's been weighing on your mind, spend time in nature to relax and reflect once Luna aspects Venus Rx. You'll begin to see things more clearly as Mercury stirs this afternoon, and should journal any premonitions that arise.

Feel free to go shopping online for yourself, Libra. While you're at it, you might as well pick out some things for others, too. You're apt to be in tune with the pleasant spirit of the people around you. On the other hand, if they're being especially negative or cranky, don't hesitate to just go elsewhere. Unfortunately, that may be easier said than done.

Me? Set in my ways...understatement of the year.  But I am all over seeing if synchronicity sends me any messages - without overthinking...  No way as to online shopping.  :)  Have a good Wednesday.  

Kept it simple yesterday

I am trying to remember my Monday.  No word from swimming lady as to key drop off time.  Lots of input from GA DC group.  But from the top - Washed clothes, dropped off latest finished book at library, Shoprite $31.68/$28.17 day 15 items all on sale.  And 10 of those items - 10 cans of tuna for $10.  Free lb of butter.  Could not pass on coffee and shampoo sale which pushed the $ higher but won't need to purchase for awhile.  :)  Then to ALDI $13.18 6 items.  Walked.  FEN CDF at 3 p.m. I passed on the NE FL DC.  Reached a point where last week and weekend had enough scheduled events. Doesn't take much to push my activity meter into the red zone.  :)  

On my paper calendar today - Death Sangha tonight.  Nothing else.  But my thoughts are - go fill out and hopefully vote absentee today after I check in at town hall.  Make my license renewal appointment.  Run dishwasher.  Walk. Will see what fills in the day.  

You may be tempted to cash in your gains and walk away with a handsome profit, but the planets urge you to wait a bit. With your ruling planet Venus beginning its retrograde phase, you may not be as financially secure as you think you are.

Work on growing your reputation as the Leo Moon and Jupiter unite. You'll carry yourself with charisma few can deny, dearest Libra, setting you up for a successful day of networking and self-promotion. Watch for second chances within matters of love and money when Mercury cozies up with Venus rx. This is also an ideal time to repair or refurbish any personal items that need some TLC. Go out and have fun with someone you adore while Luna aspects the Nodes of Fate and Chiron this evening. You'll find healing amongst good company, but will crave solitude once the Moon debuts in Virgo.

Consider taking a more conservative approach to your actions today, Libra, as well as to the way you dress. Others may be rather put off by something that comes across as too flashy. Fashion is apt to be a significant concern for you now, which is fine. Don't underestimate the power of personal appearance.

Have to frown with financially security comment and smile with power of personal appearance.  I have felt $ insecure for a long time...and have avoided flashy for an even longer time.  :)  I will see where the day takes me.  Have a good Tuesday.  

Full dream night...I wonder why? :)

I had a planes, trains, and automobiles type dream.  It was hard trying to get to my destination.  Still in an airport or transit center when I woke up. DC Facilitator ending the Alameda DC last night with a question of "what is your passion" these days...well the group got an earful.  Still processing all I thought about as I went through the summit week with all that input.  I guess the group last night was my free integration session.  

Just sent swimming lady an email to see when she wants me to swing by with her key.  Not sure how much of the story of her visit to AZ I will want to hear, but I will see what comes up.  

So yesterday - finished A Vast Horizon.  Will drop that off on my walk today.  Started latest Krueger book - God's Country last night.  Late in the day sibling call from sister #1.  She and gentleman caller still have company.  Whale watch yesterday morning.  More shopping at S&S.  I just went in and added more coupons.  She does not look at prices, but I like doing it anyway.  :)  Walked to Unionville and back.  Alameda DC.  Small group - lots of activities in the Bay Area that kept many of the regulars away.  Tires did not need any air yesterday.  Might go to every other week check going forward.  :)

Today - Wash clothes, walk, book drop, see what swimming lady picks for drop off day/time, Shoprite/ALDI, 3 p.m. FEN CDF, tonight maybe NE FL DC if I am drawn to that at 6:30 p.m.  Have an assignment from blog boss.  :)  Thought full back and forth with GA DC people stemming from a question one posed to the group.  I need to go in and schedule license renewal appt at AAA.  I am thinking next Monday in conjunction with grocery shopping taking the car out.  Do have a plan to spend just enough at Shoprite to get the free lb of butter offer by buying the tuna and mouthwash on sale.  Balance of shopping - not much - at ALDI.  

There is no pleasing some people and the planets warn that one particular individual will be annoyingly ungrateful over the next 24 hours. That’s fine. Once they have shown their true colors, you can decide not to assist them next time they’re in trouble.

A sudden bout of luck could trigger mixed feelings, dearest Libra. As the Leo Moon aligns with Uranus, Mercury, and Venus Rx, blessings received might not be all that you'd hoped for. Whether you're speaking to the universe, peers, or your sweetheart, be crystal clear about what you want. You'll be touched by how willing others are to step up and support you when Saturn activates. Don't hesitate to take the lead and give direction to anyone acting on your behalf. Your influence continues to grow while the Sun aspects Luna this afternoon, marking the perfect time to self-promote.

Your fantasies could come true now, especially when it comes to relationships, Libra. This could be the moment you've always dreamed about, so get ready. The attractive, romantic person in the corner has been keeping an eye on you all night. Your blood is pumping faster than ever. Remind yourself that all dreams can come true on a day such as today.

No romantic fantasy, but will be uplifted if I feel people are "buying what I am selling"...me being crystal clear is a tough nut for me to crack.  Keep a good thought that I am clear...and I am heard by the people who can support me.  Have a good Monday.
