Thanks, But I'll Sleep When I'm Dead

"Even a Taurus needs to take life at a more sedate pace now and again, and according to the planets both your body and your mind could do with a bit of a rest. Relax and enjoy the coming weekend."

O.K. Yesterday I was supposed to go out into the world and change it. Tomorrow I'm supposed to be back on the couch, watching true crime shows. I guess I do need a break. 

From my horoscope. I'm sorry, New York Post, but I can't change gears that quickly. After all, I am a Taurus.

Humility, Uber Alles

"You need to broaden your horizons, especially if you are one of those Taureans who generally prefer to stay close to home. Get out into the world and learn how to make a difference. People need your brand of integrity."

 I can do this. I'm about to get in the car and drive to Greensboro, Georgia. As in golf courses, Ritz Carltons, and Friends of George Bush.

There's a fancy consignment store there and I need a ballgown to wear if I get an extra role on Single Ladies as an "upscale, classy, conservative old money" party goer next month.

Even though I am venturing forth deep into Republican Territory, I won't forget my roots.  And if even one of them mentions politics, I'll talk New Deal. 

The Apollo Mini-Mart

"Something that was an issue before won’t be an issue as from today, most likely because you no longer take it seriously. As the Sun changes signs so your awareness will deepen, and many “problems” will cease to exist."

I am not going to worry about money. I am not going to blog about worrying about money.

I'll have the Gas Station of my dreams, and as a result, 10,000 lottery tickets. And my daughter is home to help amuse the cats.  

Million Dollar Baby

"You need to get clear  in your mind what it is you most want to accomplish. If you have a well defined goal and a sensible plan then you really cannot lose. Does that sound too simple? But life is simple."

So is the lottery, if you chose the quick pix. I always plan to buy four lottery tickets per week. You can't win if you don't play, right? But there's something so very unappetizing about the place they are sold. Guess I'll just have to suck it up and get over there. Today. 

Last month someone won a million dollars on a scratch off. As seedy as this place is, it has powerful mojo.

The Waiting Game

"An investment you made a long time ago may well pay off today. Don't let anyone tell you that you don't deserve it. You deserve everything you get, and you'll get even more towards the end of the week."

O.K. Irving Berlin, help me out here. Since I "Got no silver, got no gold," and  "what I got can't be bought or sold" , I'm a little puzzled.

So for the next three days, I'll wait with baited breath for the Windfall of Windfalls. 

Meanwhile, I'd better feed the cats.

Gray Gardens

Dec.2: "What other people are doing may be interesting, of course, but what you are doing is of life changing significance. Don’t be afraid to put your own needs first today- because they will benefit many other people, too. "

Two of my friends have one man art shows opening this weekend. Another is completing a featured story for a major magazine.

Now as for me, and my needs?

I needed to work, cast as a nurse on Crew 6, but the job got cancelled. I needed to post things on Ebay, but I didn't have time. I needed to stock my booth at the flea market, but I couldn't face it.

And I needed to take my cat Paris to the vet, again. She's very sick. Apparently with a virus that surfaces in multi-cat households, due to stress.

So now I need to take Little Bit back to the Humane Society, and I need to drive Edward to Rhode Island, where he may just benefit someone who will adore him beyond measure.

Maybe in my next incarnation I can simply be a cat. Now that's a significant life change I can accept.

Meanwhile, I need a pillow to cry into. Make it a nice arctic goose down pillow, with German fabric.

 

 

The Secretariat of Couch

"No matter how much others may try to persuade you that you will achieve more in the long- term by backing off a bit now, you won’t listen, and quite right, too. If it feels good, do it- and do it fast."

Thank God! I can go back to escaping my responsibilities by watching television 24/7. Sofa, here I come.
