3:42 a.m.

Not sure how this image hit me this a.m. but it feels a bit like how to keep moving forward - what/who is the hub and what are the spokes and...how do we get it rolling.  Budget failed epically yesterday.  I walked up and arrived at Community Center at 5:15 a.m. and got home around 9 p.m.  Glad I walked - especially needed the fresh air and open space on the walk home. BUT I did not turn "my machine" on so did not see emails from yesterday until 3:12 a.m. this morning.  It has taken me a bit to get through them all AND the biggest gaffe yesterday...I FORGOT TO ENTER THE HGTV HOUSE CONTEST OR BACKYARD REDO CONTEST YESTERDAY...Sick about that almost mas than the referendum failing.  I will try to recover.  Entered for today already.  

I was the ballot clerk so except for one break to eat half a sandwich and go the bathroom I was at "my station."  Roiled at the some of the chattiness of the checkers BUT the good news I was ALONE at my station.  Will shoot something off to the chairs of BOS, BOE, and BOF this a.m.  I had most of it written but that was for the referendum passing...

In my inbox from yesterday.  Son was on a bus from Chicago to Detroit.  Guess he flew from CDMX at some point this week and is now heading home.  Swimming lady needs me to cat/house sit May 21-28.  Which I will do.  FEN O&E meeting is being rescheduled from May 18 to June 18 or 19.  CH friends are off to SC HS reunion for the wife and the mountains after that.  They do have a good handle on making life the most it can be.  

Today for me - rescheduled walk from Wednesday this a.m. with family friend, webinar at noon -Psychedelics and the Reimagining of Aging with Abbie Rosner , MASSAGE at 1:30 p.m.!!!, and if I get the gumption - Spring Musical at former school #2 tonight.  I will make that call post walk.  Massage lady came into vote yesterday and I told her to make sure she got a good night's rest last night because I was going to be a mess for today's appt.  :)  Can't wait for Saturday and Sunday to relax into myself.  

You like to be sociable but over the next few days you may decide to hold back a bit when dealing with people you don’t know too well. It’s okay to be suspicious of their motives, especially if your inner voice nags at you to be careful.

You might feel creatively stifled while the Taurus Moon, Pluto, and nodes of fate activate, darling Libra. Though the day will be successful and busy, you'll long for opportunities to express yourself artistically. Find ways to showcase your vibrancy when interacting with peers. Don't hold back if you see an opportunity to crack jokes, improve projects, or bring levity to challenging tasks. Coming out of your shell within professional or educational settings will make it easier to set yourself apart from others. The people around you will be inspired to do the same, and your world will quickly become more vibrant.

 You might feel like your emotions are up in the air, Libra. As soon as you feel emotional, there may be a more structured force telling you to be reasonable. Both camps are valid, so try not to let one overpower the other. Don't completely disregard your emotions in favor of a more cerebral way of handling a situation. And don't let your emotions take control of your actions either. Balance is the watchword today.

AND I have my Chicago shows and L&O shows to watch!  Better get cracking and make the most out of today and the weekend.  :)  Have a good Friday.
