BIG change day for me... :)

First shopping day of my Shoprite boycott/ALDI shopping life.  As I shared with those who follow my angst of shopping. "No cart, so no quarter issue.  Just filled my bags AND I used self check out!  Big day for me and week's "investment" - $18.25.  Didn't need much.  Good week to begin with.  Savings versus same items Shoprite.  $9.46.  ($7.64 of saving is 3.64 lbs of green grapes - on sale at ALDI, not Shoprite) :)  Will not do this every week but was curious today.  Looks like Monday post walk is my new grocery day/time.  Also stopped at Fast Lane and tires were AOK.  Good day all around.  :)"

Perfect image for my yesterday.  I also put BOS, BOF, BOE on my list of silent protests.  I will leave them to do what they do to right the budget ship.  Nothing that I have shared with any of the powers that be has stuck, so I will let it go.  Change = Chance for me to stay in my lane and not be distracted by shiny objects that are not within my reach.  

Had to smile when I saw this in my inbox this a.m. - Board of Finance Meeting UPDATE - The air conditioning is currently NOT functioning at the Community Center and the meeting room temperature is 82 degrees. We are requesting that you log in remotely online for this evening’s Board of Finance meeting if possible.

Forgot to report yesterday that I did my Sunday walk to Unionville and visited with swimming lady about my "assignment".  :)

So Monday - in a form of "first day of the rest of my life" - walk, ALDI, wash clothes, PA DC, read my W&T book.  I read it before, but I don't remember the ending and am curious why I recommended to the library lady...so I am giving it a second read.  

Today - Walk, run dishwasher, CA DC, library consortium speaker - "Reshape Your Beliefs and Unlock Your True Potential with Nir Eyal".  Nothing else on my paper calendar.  

It’s not like you to let your fears get the better of you, but that appears to be the case at the moment. Fortunately, Mars in one of the more secretive areas of your chart will encourage you to do something about it. Don’t suffer in silence.

Dreams feel just within reach as Venus and Mars align, dear Libra. However, you might not get everything you want at once. Fixating on a singular agenda can create tunnel vision and prevent you from seeing alternate routes. Accept opportunities that bring you closer to major goals, viewing incremental wins as springboards to the top. Be mindful to cultivate well-rounded routines while Mercury aspects the nodes of fate and Pluto. All work and no play can lead to burnout and challenge your sense of self. Tensions arise within matters of the heart when the Cancer Moon squares Saturn. Outline new boundaries or shared aspirations if necessary.

Your lighthearted social demeanor could find a hard time fitting in with the general mood of the crowd today, Libra. You might find that you're better off simply locating a quiet place and retreating from the group for a little while. Read a good book or magazine. Plan for the days ahead and let your mind prepare for the things you have in store.

Quiet place and alternate routes...will see where the day takes me.  Have a good Tuesday.
