I'm mostly okay, although I feel like I'm coming down with another cold tonight. I'm just about to try to go to sleep (try again). I was under my quilt, wishing that my mother was awake and sitting there with me, so that I could lay my head on her shoulder (like I did the day before Bertie died, when I was sick, and my back was out), and the next thing I knew, there was a banging on the door at 3am, all frantic. It woke my parents up, and it turned out to be the police patrolling the neighbourhood: they'd noticed that the van doors were open, and wanted someone to make sure that we hadn't been robbed (that's been happening locally). Everything was fine, but I think it's weird how that happened as I was wishing my mother was up. I've been sitting and talking with her since.

I was hanging out at another board, here and there. It has nothing to do with astrology, but guess what I ended up talking about? I PM'd one of the people there, a young guy - Virgo Sun, Aqua moon (a switcheroo on your own placements, I think), and I let him know about LL. I've also been working on a photography course, and trying to garden a bit. I met a new-to-me huge spider, that had me letting out a really undignified shriek last Monday (a while after I'd let another one out when I accidentally picked up a worm). I wondered how many neighbours clued into the fact that a city girl was gardening. I tried again earlier, since we got a handful of plants that had already been started, but I was tired and PMS'ing, and there were spiders *everywhere*. After saying, "Oh, not another one!" after I sent yet another one scattering, I just stalked inside and got in the shower. I think the spider was either a Flower Spider, or a Crab Spider: a huge white body, like an egg sac, but brown head and legs. Scared the crap out of me. There are a lot more than I remember, and I've become used to things like little wolf spiders (or jumping spiders) and the skinny ones running around.

btw, I think I asked about you on your birthday thread. Did you have a nice one?

We get our new forever friend, a fat chocolate lab puppy Monday. Thunder will make a great mentor and we`re excited to get him. I had to quit fostering when he got sick so we decided to have a for keeps puppy.

I`ve been taking some time to pull my thoughts together as well. trying to understand why some people think to defeat is the only way to win. Limited thinking and it makes kind people act so stupid. What ever happened to win-win situtations? Anyhow, thats my pondering and guess it`s for greater minds than mine. I`m glad you are back in the groove here. Hope your moods are more up than down and go ahead vent, it`s good for what ails us .
