for virgo this week: Could you get access to a crane with a wrecking ball? How about a chainsaw or sledgehammer? Metaphorically speaking, you may need some heavy equipment to do all the demolition work that's necessary right now. Among the structures that could be due for destruction: a mental block you've been preserving out of perverse nostalgia; a prison cell you lock yourself inside on your off days; a half-built bridge you're no longer interested in or capable of completing; a pedestal on which your fallen idol used to stand; and a door you nailed shut in order to seal yourself off from a person with whom you still have unfinished business.
This is my idea of exciting reading these days. I’m all about Energy Star appliances. Scintillating.
TH passed his last inspection today, the sewer is good to go. So it’s official, we’ll be moving before the end of August to Whiteyton. Meanwhile, Big Mama Red is having her first showings this week and is fetchin’ lots of attention, as cougar and hippie-dippy though she may be. People slam on their brakes going by her. Lookers aren’t takers, but the Taker will love her and rightfully so.
Meanwhile, OJ is sometimes on the phone learning about urban homesteading mortgages and the rest of the time she’s tweeking. She needs full throttle on her own Will. Which is fine. I just didn’t want to be her new foil. So have a roommate or not, move out or not, pay your rent or not, do Whatever You Want - that’s what she wanted, to be able to do Whatever She Wants, without any kind of beholden-ness. I feel for her, cz she didn’t know that Freedom is demanding too. Ha, understatement. She is walking around in her underwear 24/7, kinda addled. Welp, I hate to say it but sometimes you do just gotta shake off your mama. (And sometimes you gotta shake off being nothing but one.) (At the same time.) (Addled or not.)
