Thrill of victory and agony of defeat day yesterday

I think you can guess who I felt like yesterday from my titling.  Oh well.  A resounding -  I do not feel obligated to give house tours to anyone, regardless of whether or not he/she lived here in the past, nor do I want to.  This is my house, my home now, and my time and my privacy are my own.  From the lady who lives in the house I grew up in.  Might be awkward in Sept at the Walk & Talk Book Club which we both participate in...time will tell if she comes or not.  Other than that I was uplifted by a response from the author of Why We Revolt about something I asked him about. It was a beautiful weather day so good walk and swim.  Liking the book I am reading - another Silva book.  The Rembrandt Affair.  So onward and upward.  Got an invite to go to family friend's NYS farm.  One of these days when it could be a day trip I might take her up on it.  

Had a very negative experience for meal #2 yesterday to add to my angst.  :)  Frozen pizza on sale this week...thought it would be a good change up.  NOT.  I will still to my usual items going forward, but have to figure out how to time eating what is left of that pizza.  Because the disappoint of eating it is less than the disappointment of me throwing something away I paid for.  :)  Ahhhh...to be in my mind.  It is a place of wonder.  

BUT full moon lit up my bedroom this a.m.  Great visual to start the day.  

Heard from my PD boss - his birthday yesterday.  I had left him a happy b'day note on Friday.  I used the paper they have on the table when you enter the lobby of the PD.  They have pads of paper in case you sitting there writing a report or statement.  :)  And lots of crayons and books for those times when there is an unfortunate situation where there are kids in the lobby when parents might not have been acting as they should.  So he got a kick out of me at the "statement table" making my "card".  We had a very fun 3 years as boss/secretary.  :)

So now today.  4:31 a.m. as we speak.  Another good 8 of sleep last night.  In my dream I did get married, got a new job, living off the grid...again - to be in my mind.  

Today - write, walk, pool.  Saw a video pop up on my algo list - Life Lived Alone.  I'm 75, and live in a shed.  Of course this woman had a house to sell to underwrite her move...but I do need to not put the thought out of my mind. What I would do for an opp to move into a little house or airbnb type set up - furnished, all utilities paid, 500 sq ft or less, within walking distance to a grocery store, library, "downtown" of a little town downtown!  My current spot is great, but not checking all the boxes of what I need next - OR what I think I need next.  I would push the concept more with my son with all his real estate, but I do not want to do ANYTHING to alter the atmosphere where he is and the relationship he has with his father.  That is too precious in my mind to ever put any bumps in that road.  

Had to smile when one of the swimming ladies offered her house for sister #1 next week in case the heat wave does not break by Friday.  :)  She has AC.  :)  I will keep fingers crossed that it is only T,W,Th with the HHH weather but I appreciate her offer. 

It will be easy to get frustrated with people who don’t share either your ambition or your energy but it won’t change a thing. If you want to get ahead in the world you must replace those individuals with people whose dreams match your own.

The Aquarius Full Moon rises early this morning, dearest Libra, putting you in the mood to party! Rally with your favorite people, fully embracing the freedom and fun that emerges when their chosen family surrounds you. A desire to make your mark on society also comes into focus, and new creative collaborations may arise. Bring sweetness to your interactions this evening while Chiron stirs, and take steps toward soothing any rifts that have soured essential connections. Close out the night by tending to your health once Luna drifts into Pisces and your solar sixth house. 

You may want more freedom in a certain situation, Libra. Perhaps it's your emotions that you want to distance yourself from, or it feels like someone is smothering you. On the one hand, you long for company and intimacy to fill an inner void. On the other, you resent having to be so needy. Make sure you're whole before you sink too deeply into a relationship.

Good cosmic guidance for today.  :)  Have a good Saturday.
