Wednesday

This week does not feel like it is flying by as the last few have, but it is Wednesday. Sounds like Mother's Day is on my siblings' radar. Sister #2 and niece #2 are going to head up on Sunday, Sister #3 had already asked what was up, and I emailed my brother and sister #4 (I hope I am being consistent on my numbering...) but where it all leads is that it looks like there will be a get together after church on Sunday at my parents' house. Sister #1 is back in St Lucia for her last couple of weeks "abroad" before she heads back to DC. I will give the parents a warning that their Sunday ice cream run may have to be rescheduled depending on when people are planning to arrive.

My boss decided against walking last night - I was having an issue with what that was going to look at - way too much going on in my mind about work and it might have slipped out once I got out into the open air. I headed out alone but had the company of a former co-worker for part of it. My old department is up to its ears in reunion planning, so I thought she might need a break so I called her from my walk to tell her I would pick her up in 20 minutes - and she agreed.

We had an incident with one of our international students yesterday that took the one remaining co-worker out of my office yesterday for most of the morning. I think it must be very daunting to be living away from family and country as a high schooler...

I was happy and sad about the primary results last night. I wish Obama would have won both states in a big way, but it was what it was and "we" keep moving forward.

Election results, DWTS' 100th show, my new 50 sit ups routine before I go to bed, working late to work on a late in the day request from my boss as to info she needs for her Trustee report, realizing that my annual renters' insurance and semi-annual car insurance renewal payments are due 6/7/08, my lease expires 7/31/08, my car needs to be replaced or pass inspection by 6/12/08, need to pay the balance of the rental on the beach house when I check in on 6/14/08...all led to a bit of a problem falling asleep and a very interesting dream sequence. I got engaged...to the guy I went out with in college. His mother and family still hated me and I am not sure where his wife of 20 years was...but it was an interesting episode. I keep saying I am going to "chart" what is happening in my life when he comes to me in dreams. I am thinking that after days like yesterday, I think that having someone to "take care of me" would be a good thing. I don't know if the reality of it would be as soothing as I imagine it would. I haven't had to "check in" with anyone for quite awhile.

But talking about checking in - I did tell my son a free meal would be his is he road up to CT with his cousin #2. He is just getting back from a few days with his father's family in Michigan so he might have had more than enough family for awhile. His call.

Cosmic guidance is both encouraging (weekly freewill) and makes me a bit tentative (daily), - had to look up prevaricate.

"What makes a river so restful to people is that it doesn't have any doubt," wrote columnist Hal Boyle. "It is sure to get where it is going, and it doesn't want to go anywhere else." Your assignment for the rest of 2008, Libra, is to do whatever's necessary to make yourself fit this description. The next eight months will provide unprecedented opportunities to turn yourself into a river flowing toward your destiny with surprisingly sublime freedom.

May 7, 2008 -- Some things are important and some things are not but because mind planet Mercury is under a negative influence today you would be wise to think carefully before deciding which is which. If there is any doubt at all you are advised to prevaricate.

As to other things I have looked up of late - from an email from my cousin - Miniver Cheevy character - I did identify with some of the poem.

Have a good Wednesday. I am going to think carefully today.
