My morning routine - have to smile :)

Waking up, making coffee, writing in my bedside journal with time I went to bed, when I woke up and any dream recollection, reading for as long as it takes me to drink one cup of coffee, then to the office after refilling my cup and putting on my parka and wrapping my legs with a fleece blanket like a sarong, checking email (and hope not to let myself get distracted by shiny objects), writing my blog, then checking a 8 websites, then linked in, then go with whatever gets my attention from my morning thoughts. This would be the time I watch my Wednesday shows, Thursday shows, TMZ daily show  :).  Was drawn to recount that this morning.  4:07 a.m. as we speak and I am on blog/second cup of 4 of coffee.  Coffee is followed by two more "courses" - next grapes and a banana.  Then a "rotation" - egg and toast one day, pancakes (add water mix) the next.  Rinse and repeat.  Word games  - LA mini crossword, WAPO mini and regular, 32, 8, 4, 1 wordle versions.  

But back to yesterday - lots of writing in the a.m. after the meeting I was in Wed afternoon.  Might be firing myself from my blog volunteer job.  We'll see.  Great walk. Great lentil soup meal #2.  Contented day.  No negative or "less than" connotation for contented in my mind.  I did watch and share another great GeriPal episode.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmLO5CDuKFY&t=1847s  What smart people talking about things that are so important to so many.  Shut my machine down early yesterday.  

Today - nothing on my paper calendar.  But yesterday filled in nicely so I will think the same for today.  Have to decide whether I head to Shoprite for the 3-day sale again this week...hate that when they get me with something but bag of oranges and dozen eggs...! As I wrote to family friend yesterday:  Oranges AND eggs per the email this a.m. $2.99 and $1.49, respectively - 🍊 Orange You Glad? 🥚 Egg-cellent Savings for 3 Days Only  Might walk to Shoppes on Saturday with a satchel. 

But back to today - write, read, walk.  Didn't hear from son yesterday, maybe today.  

It may be tempting to use questionable tactics to get your own way but you must overcome that impulse and play things strictly by the book. You are in such a commanding position at the moment that underhand methods are simply not needed.

Focus on what you can remove from your plate, rather than adding more steps to your agenda, dear Libra. As the Virgo Moon aspects Mars, Uranus, and Neptune, find growth through calculated moves instead of spreading yourself too thin. Peers will recognize your efforts once Luna enters your sign and aligns with Mercury, marking the perfect time to self-promote. You should also be mindful of what you do not know, filling in the missing pieces with thoughtful questions. Build confidence by embracing what gives you power and releasing self-doubt when Pluto stirs this afternoon. 

 Discussions about religion could come up during your day. A recent rush of intuitive revelations could cause you to want to expound on your beliefs, but this could backfire. This isn't the day to try to convince others of anything. This also isn't a good day to think in terms of getting away for a while. Kick around a few ideas, but make definite plans later.

I will stay within myself today and be mindful of all I do not know.  Feel fine with that.  No one is dying to hear my thoughts on anything today.  I will leave others in peace.  :)  Have a good Friday.  And to use my boomer saying - Man, this week flew by!  :)
