The duplex is sold (probably) (virgos never count their chickens) - beyond unlikely, a man I've never met has been watching me. A neighbor. That part itself isn't surprising (how many times has a dude popped into my life after watching me unbeknownst?), but that he would pop up with my price $ in cash so fast that I didn't even have to pound the sign into the ground is
It's so dead quiet here. My mind goes feral and wanders. (Content censored.)

Staring down the barrel of a new semester and everything busted all to shit with no end yet in sight. Steeling (stealing) myself. The return of tulip week (I had forgotten about it [!] until it roared back, untethered from a predictable cycle unless you count my brewing storms, always at least a category 1 just offshore) is fueling outright rebellion in my soul.

Imagining being in front of live students again, med students, smart students, (slightly) flirting with 100 people at once is my (only?) comfort zone (?). It's been a minute.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You want to bring joy to someone and will be successful as long as you find the right person to focus your effort on — someone receptive to joy and open to you as well. With the right subject, all else falls into place.
🤔 all of that feels correct, except on whom? and why only one whom, necessarily? I'd like spread a bunch of joy all over fuck ...

Us: (rocking like grannies on the porch of the cottage in matching adirondack chairs)
Me (singing quietly): this current time is just one of those times
Her: I love that song
Me: the cottage is holding up, as a crazy decision I made
Her: you've made a lot of good decisions
Me: I'm thinking hard about them, and the crazier ones hold up best, right?
Her: like what was so crazy?
Me: a PhD in English jumps to mind
Her: it's been amazing, your life
Me: Ma, don't say that like it's over 🤨 my point is that it's the endingS plural that I regret 🤔
Her: 🤔
Me: I mean I can't regret A-hole because if not for him, there wouldn't be the kids
Her: right, although he was a cruel bastard, I never hated anyone like I hated him
Me: bullshit 🤨
Her: chuckle
Me: I'm just saying, I can't regret starting because without starting(s) then I wouldn't get the kids in the during(s)
Her: right
Me: so starting(s) are good
Her: I see
Me: and durings are okay, some good stuff happens during
Her: right
Me: so it's just the endings mostly - I should have spent time with Mark at The End, I'll always regret not doing that
Her: yea but you always think stuff like that after somebody dies so 🤷🏻♀️
Me: I should have murdered A-hole
Her: definitely!, a fork right to his balls
Us: gigglegiggle
Me: I don't think that's fatal
Her: not right away

Us: Hahaha HAHAHAHA
Me: I should have given him the hug goodbye, but otherwise
Her: worth it.
Me: totally.
Us: (rocking)
Me: so to review, STARTINGS are good overall, DURINGS can be okay...

Play me a song? Fergie - Big Girls Don't Cry
Well, they do cry when they're so angry that ragetears fly out their nipples 🤨
I've stopped crying, but the fire is just banked.
Maybe Omaha. Or Phoenix. Maybe RIT. Maybe Canisius. I keep turning the options over and going for them all, all at once. I'm under no illusions regarding the place I've given my working life to. I would relish stunned. That this time it's me leaving.
If I built it, I can set it on fire. If I built it, I can build it again. Over and over, I turn those phrases over in my mind like benway balls.

Soltice scopesheena easton - I'm almost over you: Does any person or institution own a part of you? Has anyone stolen some of your power? Does anyone insist that only they can give you what you need? If there are people who fit those descriptions, Virgo, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to fix the problems. According to my understanding of life’s rhythms, you can summon the ingenuity and strength to reclaim what rightfully belongs to you. You can recover any sovereignty and authority you may have surrendered or lost.

What if I were the one throwing life into garbage bags? When the blood tests came back (diagnosis: I am an exhausted bag of mostly cortisol) and I got a horsesize vitamin B12 shot to my ass, wow my temper with some B-fuel has been and is EPIC. 😵💫🔥

Sitting at dawn in my sister's home. Thinking. Thinking they won't die if I walk away. Nobody will die if I walk away. So, what is most likely to kill me? That is the only real question. More of my life as I've been living it definitely will kill me. I'm my own Andy, treating me(yself) like shit and ignoring it when I cry.
Wow it's hard to believe he's the dude who terrorized us over a crumb under the toaster all through my childhood. It looks like duck dynasty fucked a homeless person and had a love hoarder in here, holy hell.
Both my parents are sharp as tacks. No, sharp as shivs. But neither was ever good at keeping their shit together much. Compounded by age and knee-jerk independence. I'll be mulling genetic compound aging knee-jerk tendencies in myself as I hunt for the maggots that surely must be here somewhere to explain all the flies.
