Lobster fest day

Old sign, but you get the idea - The 44th annual Canton Volunteer Fire Company Lobsterfest takes place August 21–22  $40 per ticket...The only time I ever purchased a ticket it cost $20...  Lobster, ear of corn, cup of chowder and a soda.  Family friend always invites me to eat with her family and her husband's company's location supplies them with 10 tickets so that the Fire Dept can use his lot to park cars in.  So I ate with them once, then just got a ticket yesterday and pick up my meal on Saturday, and this year husband will drop off my meal on Friday at my apt and my plan is to pull the lobster meat out and have lobster roll and sides on Saturday.  We will see if all pans out as planned.  

As to yesterday - did my MEA online submittal, no posting seen on their social media - guess my stuff did not make the cut.  :)  Met family friend and her gang at the reservoir and then did my regular Thursday route. Spoke to son as I walked.  He is taking on a class with Per Scholas.  Not sure of the end game on that but just piecing together things that have come in front of him. 1 p.m. Psychedelics in End of Life Care, 2 p.m.  O&E blog committee meeting.  Heard from TX/NM friend.  She will be staying with me on Oct 21, 22. Her family will be gathering in town. Will see if there are only NM as of then.  Fingers crossed on the sale of their TX home.  

Today - 11 a.m. online wrap up of this week's MEA exercise.  I am sure they will hope that we all sign up for their onsite event in Sept...not an expense I can take on.  Oh well.  Aging with privilege is not my situation.  Walk post that meeting. Be available to receive lobster dinner.  :)  Rest of my paper calendar items for weekend - Saturday LA DC at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sunday - Death Sangha 1 p.m., San Diego Hemlock Society VSED discussion 4:30 p.m., Albany CA DC at 7 p.m.  Will walk to Unionville pre Sangha.  :)

Venus in your sign opposes Saturn today, which among other things suggests that you won’t get along with certain people no matter how hard you try. So don’t even try. If they don’t want your friendship that’s their loss, not yours.

Ask for support if you need it, dearest Libra, as Venus and Saturn face off. A fear of inconveniencing others often causes you to keep personal struggles under wraps, but internalizing these issues will only create distance in your relationships. Trust that the people around you are strong enough to help shoulder burdens too heavy to carry on your own. Simply confiding in a sympathetic companion can do much to elevate your perspective, thanks to a helping hand from the Sagittarius Moon. You may also feel validated by friends who have gone through similar experiences, and will benefit from the encouragement they provide.

Emotionally, you may feel as if you're running up against a brick wall, Libra. It could be that your first reaction is to drown your sorrows in drink. Escapism is only a temporary remedy. If things slam in your face today, use this as an indication that you need to take necessary action. Don't keep bouncing around from one thing to the next in order to avoid the obvious. Face the music.

Looks like I need to monitor my interactions if any arise.  That is one thing about my life - interactions are limited.  I guess I will let my "sadness" about MEA not posting my stuff go.  :)  No drink for me.  Focus.  Wish me luck.  :)  Have a good Friday.
