Originality isn't about inventing from nothing; it's about how you remix what moved you. This New Moon in Virgo invites you to rework with purpose. Make it yours.

I do like remixes. 

As he is languishing, I scored a set of dishes from Cheekdavegas. I kept the kid stuff, and some of that could move to him - beds and toys and tiny tables shall be in abundance, and God knows there isn't a shortage of kids.

He's gotta get thru his sobering process, which isn't 🪄 but going well. 

And I gotta get through my this: the closings / owning 2 houses for 1 month. 

We have our own battles. But both are going well. (knock wood) 

Looking ahead, here comes the parts where we can help each other. I am going for home for him without much needed from Polish storage (unless wanted!), where lurks Xmas decor and cool pyrex but also every kinda detritus and mom(-in-law) guilt trip imaginable. After he gets through this, as much FREE TO as I can put in front of him, that is my desire. Antidote to STUCK WITH. 

At the moment, he is a prisoner in his own skin, chemicals fighting chemicals, body fighting body. That isn't fun. When he can turn THAT corner, I don't know if he crests a hill, looks across his most recent life valley and thinks "I oughta burn all that shit down ❤️‍🔥🌩❤️‍🔥 'cept the littles/dogs". That might really be just a me thing lolol. I have to accept that my flight/fight temper might 'come to' holding smoldering guns (so my perception that someone filed for divorce to marry him more, shorten that leash to a choke collar is #triggerhappy). He seems only ever endlessly angry or disgusted or frustrated re himself. 

Since that seems likely to continue, these pathological SHAME spirals he gets into, I am trying to get in front of the material form(s) that I have seen that take, down to dinner plates. #nipitinthebud

tomorrow - kyle mckearney "trouble in a world without you" - we have both felt that, I think it's fair to say, thinking what I can show back up with that redirects any kinda Dying to other outcomes. 

Another (better?) game for your sober thought time:
