So this is a time to be thinking about the various ideas I've encountered lately, the most striking of which is finding out the carport I want installed will cost about $3,500 and arrive in six months time.
I'm now wondering why I have *workmen* friends coming today to clear the ground where the carport will go. Much to think about.
As observant readers may well have noticed, my interest in astrology is waning somewhat, but when I got home for the third time yesterday I went straight to astrodient and was somewhat reassured by their description of the current aspects for me - "A Frantic Pace."
Truly, it's not often I leave this house three times in one day once I'm home after the first expedition. It's only four miles from town, but that's eight there and back before I do whatever I'm in town for, and that seems for me to be enough for any 24-hour period, what with climate change and carbon footprint and all that.
But, when you go to play tennis and then to Walmart, and then back to the house midday to regroup and gather up the UpWords game to take back to town to Javalina to play with a friend before going to Toad to meet another friend (already more activity than I usually have in a week), but go back to town WITHOUT the UpWords game, immediate changes are called for.
Instead of going to Javalina, I brought said fellow-player back to the house, where we had a somewhat frantic game with me texting the person I was due to meet at three and bumping the time forward half an hour or so several times. Game over, I won, fellow-player taken home and early dinner companion met at Toad at 4:15. No complaints from her.
Back to the house time #3 at about six and straight to astrodienst. Praise the Lord that for me today the Sun is directly opposing the MC, supposedly a great day to stick around the house and clean up a bit. So far so good.
...take a break! Yes! Yes! I am SO ready for a break and I don't know and don't care if Venus in the Fifth has come along at just the right time - what am I saying? Venus in the Fifth has come along at exactly the right time, with my house rental over in a week and 14B being a livable space and the rain and the not-having-to-turn-the-fan-on and all the plants that are so happy and Eddie taking that great big pile of trash off to the dump - it's absolutely time for T Venus in the Fifth.
But not till tomorrow.
This is definitely valid, as I was so pleased that #5 changed out the water softener that's been the bane of my existence since about 2003 for a whole house filter, fixed a few little things around here that needed fixing AND hauled away a huge amount of trash that I've been trying to get to the dump for months that I kept thinking I wanted to throw my arms around him and hug him, which was obviously something he wasn't expecting and gave me no opportunity to do. Good thing.
Transiting north node to natal Uranus, that is. I think the theory is that the less upsetting this transit is, the more you are on the right path and need to keep on going.
Right now I have Wimbledon on and muted, watching all the commercials with Federer. The temptation is to go and find his chart and see what's going on in his life right now, which would be a really good way of avoiding opening Final Draft and working on something for next Tuesday.
....which in my case is in the first house. Not there exactly yet - Saturday, I think - but as it's the nodes I can give myself a couple of days (weeks) here and there.
So - the old Big Sunny Space has become inhabitable, with things vaguely where I'd like them to be and no (visible) boxes on the floor to weave around. Well, one. The closet has a door, as does the bathroom, my counter space is beautiful, the MacBook Air sits on top of four thick books so the screen is at my eye level and I have a keyboard and mouse that I'm almost used to. I do keep hitting the n instead of the space bar but not as often as when I first got it.
There's a list of friends to write notes to, that I keep overlooking, and I have to call the propane company and find out about this winter saving price thing, but there's nothing nagging at me day and night.
Time to discuss Lemon Sky now in Playwrights' Forum. There's a sentence I haven't written before.
