Overload day in my easily overloaded way :)

My sister #4's cat who died on Good Friday, but using this pic as I was just "assigned" to cat feeding while swimming lady is off to see her sister and BIL in Arizona next week...I am not an animal person but glad I had the experience of doing cat related tasks when I was at sister #4's.  :)  It is also the same time that sister #1 and friend from Paraguay are in town.  Maybe good that it is all in one week.  So one week of "connecting" then back to solitude until son is here in June.  Speaking of son - sad about Pistons.  Have to smile at the lack of national support - my TV station that was network to show the game - showed a college softball playoff game instead.  Why would anyone around here want to watch Pistons and Cavaliers?  Detroit SO does not get the respect it deserves.  Double whammy that Cleveland was their opponent.  :)

Getting to my machine at 5:54 a.m.  Restless night - next week AND trying to decide how to approach grocery shopping with Shoprite's abandonment of me and the senior discount.  I will hit ALDI today for grapes, bananas, and bread and then...next week with sister #1 here, but she stays at an airbnb so not disruptive to meal #1 but meal #2 will be a crap shot for Wed, Thurs, Fri.  I will be eating lots of regular people food in restaurants. 

Spoke to sister #6 and #1 on Sunday.  #6 is on double duty time - finishing up school year and working at "the tent".  Just noticed that Lyle Lovett is going to be there this season.  :)

This week - PA DC today, CA DC and library consortium talk on Tuesday, Wednesday EOLD with the 3rd of 3 series with VSED doula, Thursday walk with former co worker from first job I had when I came home in 2006, 1 p.m. FEN webinar, 7 p.m. Rochester DC.  As to "holiday weekend", I am hoping Albany CA DC is still on for Sunday, and I know ZEN DC is on for Monday, and CA DC for Tuesday then with company in town I will miss May 27 EOLD but will hope to be home for GA DC Wednesday p.m.  Company leaves and swimming lady comes home on Saturday so I will be back on my own on May 31!!!  

Do have to go online and make my summer "investment" in my Senior discount pool membership - $25 for the season.  June 18-August 23, 2026  $25.00.  $7 a visit if son decides to join me when he is here.  :)  He is renting a car so we will have more mobility than my MAZDA allows, so we might be doing some visiting.  Niece, sister #4.  We will see how long he has in the area.  

So today - wash clothes, walk, bananas/grapes/bread run to ALDI.  Beginning my head in the sand approach to town politics so not watching BOF meeting...I am over it all.  And do not have the patience to watch the "watch paint dry" pace of how local government works.  They have taken care of it before me for centuries, I think they will do fine without me now.  

Your ruling planet Venus moves into the career area of your chart today, which means you will get many opportunities to move up in the world. Don’t be afraid to take risks, because even if they don’t all pay off enough will to make it worthwhile.

Be mindful of how your conversations with the universe unfold, dearest Libra. As the Moon moves through Gemini, the signs you receive hold significant meaning. Be an agent for change once Mars debuts in Taurus, triggering major shifts throughout the coming weeks. Release what you do not need to ensure the transitions you face are positive. Professional growth could find you after Venus and Luna enter Cancer this evening. Focus on your highest aspirations, forge solid connections, and work toward manifesting your dream career. Dreamy visions may reveal what the future holds while Mercury and Neptune align tonight.

 Discipline and a sense of duty have been major themes for you lately, Libra. It might seem like someone has put the brakes on a current plan of yours. Try not to see this as negative. In reality, this is an important time for you to slow down and plan. Be aware of the passage of time and consider using this period to organize your scattered energy. This is a good time to focus and streamline your life.

Shoprite and town government have thrown me some curveballs.  Focus and streamline - always good advice.  Wish me luck. 6:23 a.m. already and still on my coffee course of meal #1...better get cracking.  :)  Have a good Monday.
