No Shake Shack but the day worked. :)

Got this from cousin yesterday.  We will try and connect before the weekend is over to see how her first semi-retirement summer is going.  As to the balance of the day - blog work on a new article to submit with the assist of the "editor".  Recreational walk.  Transportational walk to/from pool.  Sister #1 arrived after a trip where getting used to her new car offered some challenges as to phone/car communication.  I have not entered that realm of technology.  :)  I am still plugging in a Garmin GPS purchased in 2014 into the "cigarette lighter" plug in my 2007 car with roll up windows.  Not a problem that there have been times when my maps were not quite right based on new configurations or exit numbers...close enough for my very limited travel.  We went to At the Rooftop for dinner not Shake Shack.  Oh well but it was fine.  Then to Beau's for soft serve ice cream.  Then to Fresh Market which we promptly walked out of with their front and center produce selection from Taylor Farms.  I am sure all was OK, but showing up at a party with a bunch of Taylor Farm salad offerings might not be "the thing"?  So we back tracked to Shoprite and used my phone number to get her some savings.  But savings are not an issue for sister #1.  :)  She does not even look at the receipt!!!  Que barbaro! :) Then back to apt.  She is sleeping up at the landlord's/her high school classmate.  Landlord and landlady are at their beach house and sister #1 wanted to have AC available just in case. 

Today - regular walking may not be part of day...will get swim in.  Then off to sister #1's mini high school class reunion.  It is going to be a small group so it should be OK and it is 3-7 p.m. so no late night.  Tomorrow - thinking sister #1 will take off before I leave for my walk to pool...will incorporate my Unionville walk into the week ahead at some point.  Alameda DC at 4:30 p.m.  Sunday is closing day at the pool...seismic shift in my life and times in this seasonal scheduling change.  I do have to smile when these seasons surprise me every 3 months.  :)

Got my auto/apt insurance renewals...I think I am too lazy again to do what it takes to switch...I am one of those people who find financial relationships "sticky" as to seeing ease in moving from one plan to another...I will take another look at it after the weekend.  

If you don’t like what partners and colleagues get up to this weekend, then remove yourself from the scene and do something on your own. The planets warn if you follow the herd, you could end up on someone’s dinner plate.

Promote inclusivity and give the people around you a chance to shine, dearest Libra. You'll be a beacon of light for those who wish to be seen as Mercury and Jupiter unite. Luckily, you won't have to fight very hard to command the spotlight once Luna enters your sign. However, a harsh square with Mars could stir up conflict with anyone who sees you as a threat. Put up guards if you sense someone is trying to intimidate or agitate you. Keep good company by your side as the Moon aspects Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus to repel negative influences.

Today you may feel very creative and ambitious, Libra. You might want to use this energy to work on an artistic project, or you may choose to channel it into such activities as organizing your home or workspace. If you plan for it, there should be plenty of time to do both if you have a mind to. Make the most of the day.

Not sure how my cosmic guidance will lead my day, but here goes.  Will see what the presence of people not normally a part of my day brings to my mind and spirit.  Have a good Saturday.
