Everybody hertz.
Sep. 1st, 2003 05:00 pmWhat is it about rainy days that compels me to visit Target? And if that wasn't overstimulating enough, I stopped at the grocery store on the way home. My intention was to have more vegetables in the house but I came home with lots of meat. I'm a sucker for sales and came home to do the mom thing of breaking up the value pack into smaller ziplock bags for freezing purposes. When exactly does one become their parents, or is it a lifelong process that just gets more severe as we get older?
I love running errands alone though, something about moving through the crowds, focused only on my internal monologue as I compare prices and check things off my list. I get jarred when someone breaks into my bubble, like the strange woman who accosted me in the grocery store line to insist I should let her go ahead of me because she only had one item. I couldn't really deal and I'm sure I came off as rude but I just didn't want to talk to anybody, much less her. I felt somewhat reassured after she left when the cashier apologized, saying she's a little crazy and somehow always manages to find him when he's working. I suddenly felt bad for internally making fun of him for his mustache and mullet.
Now I'm home and have some time to regroup. Where did the day go? Oh yeah, I slept for twelve hours last night and woke up shortly before 11 am.
Your Weekly Horoscope for Sept 01 to 07
Dear RAYMOND,
You're really in the thick of it when it comes to getting involved in all kinds of 'mental' stimulus. Those four planets in Virgo are really encouraging you to hold conversations, get in touch, speak to people you have needed to talk to for ages, and become involved in teaching and studying programs. If you ever thought about getting a job in a library, you might just be successful now. The same goes if you had cherished a dream to be a part of a project that catalogues important information, or even a research program. The only fly in the ointment is that Mercury, the planet of communication, is still retrograde. So if you are hoping to hear news of a job or an important contract, you may have to wait a while longer. Plans are notorious for changing at this time. You may apply for something only to find that the job description is not what you thought it was. You do need to take care that you don't get departmental heads in a spin, or cause others to feel jealous of you, or perhaps you of them. Venus makes a square to Pluto, and this could cause some difficult feelings. Not for long - but who needs them at any time.

One of my favorite parts of living alone used to be solo grocery shopping at, like, 4 in the morning, often on the way home from a night out. Grocery stores are total alternate universes at that time. Half the aisles are blocked by inventory being stocked, but OTOH you're more or less the only customer.
