VIRGO - Patti's birthday today, woulda been. She was never not trying to teach someone a lesson 🤦🏻‍♀️ lol. Yesterday, my PCP told me a horrible story about a young woman who blew off her monitor (that ring is $400! to replace, and do I really understand HRV any better? god damn it), it is ugly and flashes red if you were to dance, as she wished to do. This story was to impress upon me the seriousness of muscle loss. "I could punch you as hard as I could, I mean not YOU but.." We stared at each other a couple seconds, neither the blinking type. She settled for the push against my hand thing and a bunch of bloodwork. I lock my jaw, lock my stare, lock my everything, I LOCK UP, like slamming and locking the door behind me. I hoisted a book-box yesterday for Mover Dude to demonstrate that if his guys can't keep up, maybe be should hire women? The September virgos are different. They begin long slogs of miserable rain like today, with Xmas as a distant and sufficient reward. F that. I either got the last summer festival/hurrah of some kind or I did not. And this year, I got a dying dad and me hundreds of miles away, both of us alone, both fighting for what is left of our self-determination. If I could, as harder as it would make everything on everyone, I would order up snow, wind whipping ice water, sideways sleet, hail - today. Teach the appreciation of Augusts, before the blood runs cold. VIRGO You're not trying to teach anyone a lesson, but your example says it all. How you move, speak or shrug off nonsense becomes a model for others. You lead by living. Keep going; people are watching and learning.

I am going to pull up tacks and scrub floors and box up the Judaica there. And begin to choose boots here, what shall be sacrificed. Hey Dad, ya know that kinda guy who thinks he knows what God thinks, how much you hated That Guy?, he's on your side of the veil now, feel free to slam his head through the wheel/wall of incarnation, send him on his way to pretend he isn't part Black by pretending to be Jewish (for Jesus) somewhere else, Palestine perhaps; tell him to pick a lane and screw your courage to the sticking place.

The book I didn't find, Shakespeare, the one that dude should have read.

song to tbd, currently listening to victory - avett bros
