Interesting Astrology

Mars, the warrior of the zodiac, has hardly felt at home in diplomatic Libra, where it has impatiently set up camp for the last month or so. However, all the passive-aggressive behavior caused by this transit comes to an end on August 23, when Mars moves out of Libra and into Scorpio (the sign it co-rules with Pluto), bringing relief. "Relief" could be a slight exaggeration, though, given the Mars-Scorpio tendency toward vengefulness and an inability to forgive and forget. Fortunately, this pairing also produces relentless determination, which, if focused on worthwhile projects and goals -- rather than paybacks! -- can bring impressive results!

However, before Mars and Scorpio can shift into high gear, dreamy Neptune will come along for a couple days of indecision and inaction. First, on August 24, Neptune pits itself in direct opposition to the practical, no-frills Virgo Sun, at which point your spirituality, artistry, and compassion will butt heads with reality! Then, on August 26, Neptune sidles up to Mars, a transit that can lead to panic if your resolve fails you. However, if you can turn your attention back to those Neptunian traits dulled by the Sun only two days before, you'll enjoy a surge of Mars-fueled energy!

Tis a Day in the Life . . .

I'm trying to not offend the back gods, mine seems finally to be on the mend, it feels fine right now, finer than it has in days and days.  I hope this nightmare is behind me.  Now to pay the medical bill.

I'm just chugging along, I stopped looking for work because we can't afford gas for me to go to interviews.  Plus the one agency that I really want to hear from hasn't contacted me so I don't know if they will help me or not.  I need to go back to using a relative's address in Houston when I apply for work, I'm pretty sure no one is going to hire me living out here in the boonies.  But we'll see.  I don't give up.

So Tired . . .

I'm so tired of things going wrong.  Breakers going out in the house causing us to have to live in an overheated house for days and nights at a time, and Mother's horrendous attitude.  You know I don't believe we're going to have one stroke of good fortune or luck as long as she lives under this dark cloud of despair.  But she's been there all her life.  Anyway, I'm just ready for a happy change.  A good turn.  A fortunate moon, something.  I did win $3 on lotto last night, turned that money in on 3 Texas Two Step tickets, first time playing it, it could mean $200,000.00.  But we'll see.  Mostly I just needed to vent.  I hope the heat breaks soon, but I know it won't until October.  So here's to October, and a fortunate moon.

This Is Not Good . . .

It's Sunday and I can't watch racing.  I don't really care for the road race, but still, it's racing.  SO I have to keep up using lap-by-lap on nascar.com.  What the deal is there is something broken in the connection in our subdivision, our cable company is switching to all digital (as is everything electronic) and there is a fault somewhere in our area and they probably won't have it repaired until mid next week, if then.  I will tell them this:  if it's not done by Friday they will lose a customer.  The only real problem we had with Lake Livingston cable/internet is that it went up too high on the bill, but we've not caught a break with either Satellite or Suddenlink, so we may go back.  I don't care either way I just want my damned television back.


In other news, well, there isn't any.  It's hot, there is a tropical storm in the gulf (Debbie), and our temps have begun to tease the triple digit mark.  Ain't life grand.  It's not so bad in the morning but starting at around one o'clock it starts getting hotter and the acs help but not as much as I wish they would.  Anyway going to go now and find something to do, more blogging elsewhere, likely :).

Procrastinator Extraordinaire . . .

I had designs on getting up today and getting stuff done but pooped out mid-day.  Oh well tomorrow's another day.  I did go out and check the garden and watered the back part and my mini rose, we're not due more rain for over a week now so I better get regular about watering or I'll lose everything.  I really need to get something going NOW for winter.  I'm not losing another garden to frost.

I Wish . . .

I wish I were left alone more.  I'd like to be able to take Mother somewhere for a couple of hours a day, a couple of days a week, so I could just have some time to myself.


I wish I could get myself to do more with the time I've got.  Finish a novel, get this weight off, landscape the property.


I wish life was much more uncomplicated.  I wish for more money and more freedom.


If wishes were horses, dreamers would ride.

Bleh . . .

I'm so disgusted lately.  All I'm doing is getting fatter, I'm not doing shit, I feel like shit.  But I'm working on it.  I can't sit here and do nothing forever.  For one thing I'm going to clean this room again.  Get outside in the evening and walk.  Eat cleaner.  Lose this weight.  Finish my novel.  Market it.  Sell it. Start my life, again.  And on that, on to getting it done.
