And then there is home repair... :)

Well, that got my attention.  Toilet flush lever.  A piece of plastic that has lasted me 15+ years.  Broke today right in the mid point of landlord's 2 week vacation...  So I reached out and he said I could go up to his apt and get the new part and take care of it or manually flush it until he got back next week.  So I put on my big girl pants and went upstairs to his storage closet and got the new part.  Also good that landlord's family owned a hardware store so parts are never an issue.  So I got the YouTube going and...no go for me and the parts.  So I called family friend walking partner and she said she would be by and she did and now all is fixed.  She was the first and last number in my "phone a friend" rolodex, so VERY grateful she came by AND is handy.  It was onward and upward from there to walk, W&T book club.  

I am very humbled about my helplessness at times.  Oh well.  

Balance for the day - I could not take a morning walk because I was too distracted by waiting to hear back from family friend as to if she could help so I did not want to be too far away from apt in case she got back to me.  So post repair then I planned that I would do the long walk to W&T book club.  And the lift came when my son called right before I headed out for book club and I talked to him for a big chunk of my walk.  Book club - only 2 others showed up.  Perfect.  I am thinking the lady who lives in the house I grew up in will pass on W&T after her final word on any one from my family getting to see our old house...  Not a problem for me, but I am thinking she might not feel the same.  3:33 p.m. when I walked into the apt post book club.  Left the apt 12:41 p.m., home at 3:33 p.m.  :)  Standing strong in who I am and my power.  Insert praying hands emoji on that one.  :)

Lots of ramp up for this week - NC friends' visit Thursday.  Computer upgrade for the Windows issue. Drive to visit cousin.  Which will necessitate gassing up car.  Money is going to be "a thing" for September and first week in October.  I will go back to strict austerity post Oct 6.   

Today - walk to Unionville, plan shopping list for Shoprite.  Click off coupons for S&S for sister #1.  

You must stay alert over the next few days because the planets warn that someone will try to use your name and reputation to get things for themselves that they do not deserve. You may be generous by nature but don’t let others feed off your success.

Prioritize solitude and quiet as the Gemini quarter moon and Mercury square off, dear Libra, urging you to follow the voice within. Your intuition grows when stillness is embraced, allowing you to decipher where you must let go or invest more. Positive changes to your love life and social sphere emerge as the hours pass, thanks to the help of Venus, Mars, and Chiron. Get creative with your plans, gravitating toward activities that provide new experiences for everyone involved. Exercise restraint once Saturn stirs later today, especially if you have chores to complete. The energy shifts while Luna enters Cancer and squares Neptune, encouraging you to relish the last peaceful moments of the weekend fully.

Try not to take things too seriously today, Libra. Realize that the best plans are sometimes the ones that were never made in the first place. Keep the lines of communication open and don't discount things that sound off the wall at first. Dream big and don't restrict yourself by thinking that your radical ideas have no basis in reality.

I am daily all over solitude and quiet.  :)  Will see where it takes me today.  Have a good Sunday.
