Life on Mars - Another Hectic Week

Sometimes it feels like I have my own private full moon that follows me wherever I go. You see the moon is always full, it just depends on how the Earth blocks the sun from getting to it. Apparently the shadow of the Earth has no effect in tempering the effects of the full moon in our neighborhood. Everyone is crazy all of the time.

Last week was worse than the week before. Seems like I'm coaching the spawn of Satin. The 9 year old swears and spits and torments me. He hates reading. Really hates it. Turns out he might just be dyslexic though. I have a serious bone to pick with his former school if he is. And I do not think that I am equipped to teach him if he is.

Then there is the neighbor who offered me a ride on the weekend and said that she'd have the car after 12. So I discussed it with my daughter about how we would arrange it. Then I find out she'd have the car TOMORROW after 12. When I said I didn't understand that she meant tomorrow, because she didn't say tomorrow, she screamed at me and accused me of calling her a liar. I love crazy people, no really.

They all drink coffee like it's water. Three adults in the house and they go through one 34 oz can of coffee a week. Ours lasts 2 of us about 2 months. How do they sleep? Well you just take the thorazine when you need to go to bed.

I am so looking forward to the next few weeks. My horoscope says this is one of the best months I had or will have in years. Things will culminate into very bad on the 29th. If this is good, I just can't wait for bad. I'm supposed to stay home on that day, but I think I have dinner with my cousins, and I see them so rarely that I don't really want to miss, but I don't really want the roof of the restaurant to fall in on us either.

Have a good week. I'll see you back next one (I hope)

What Evah - Mercury Retrograde

Not that I base my entire life on Astrology, but whenever I hear that Mercury is in Retrograde I tend to pull my head under the covers and just let it do it's thing. There is not much else you can do. Mercury will be retrograde this month from August 3rd to August 26 give or take depending on the part of the world you are in.

I get my updates from the fantastic Susan Miller at Astrologyzone.com and have been reading her for about 15 years now. She's great and always there for me. Get your monthly horoscope HERE

What brought this to mind was all the tweets and FB posts I see complaining about the financial climate and their own personal plight in life. Screwed up listings, bank statements, utility billings, housing, love life, economy and everything in general. Sound like what you've been going through? Mercury retrograde makes it tough to get anything accomplished. I know this is a bitch, but it will be over soon, and you are to learn a lesson from it.

Shit, like I need to learn any more lessons in life. Am I right?

So just put your head beneath the virtual blanket and ride the storm until August 26th. This is one of the shortest retrogrades I have ever experienced, and if my prediction is correct, even the stock market will settle down at the end of the month. And maybe all the websites will start working properly again.
