2nd Decan of Taurus

~mellita

I'm not surprised in the least to discover that I'm a whole day late to my posts on the pulse of the celestial decuple. (Let's call it what it is, then—an undecuple.) By God, have I been ever sluggish, and grumpy, and anxious, and bored this past week! It's as though my insides are all prickly, you know what I mean? I can never seem to find a comfortable posture...

I mentioned a few missives ago that I was pursuing some medical interventions to improve my overall well-being. Well, would you believe it? After so much difficulty and run-around from my pharmacy, I thought I had finally received what I requested yesterday morning—only to come home, open the bag, and discover that they gave me the wrong thing! Ratings must be sagging; the producers of my life are testing my patience, so as to heighten tension. (I don't know why they don't just introduce a romance...?)

I sure wish I had other news than that. I'm doing my best to keep reading, and writing, and looking after myself in small ways. I'm sure you all are doing the very best you can, also.

Every alcoholic beverage I've had lately has had a disproportionate impact on my well-being the following day, so I'll have to lay off my favored Fernet con Coca. Tonight, a nice, cool glass of water, ~bartender, and some warming music, if you wouldn't mind. To health...!

Noswaith dda, ~mellita!

Good to see you again, and I too am tardy with marking this passage of time, seeing as we're already about 3 1/2 degrees into the new decan...

My last chunk of days has been pretty much the same as yours, feelings/energy-wise. Lots of tiredness, lots of vivid if not exactly strange dreams...

I'm glad you're doing this for yourself, and I'm trying likewise.

In re huius: I once heard a saying -- "never pray for patience, because then the universe will give you plenty of opportunities to learn and practice it..."

Eh, I never drink water. Fish pee in it.

Hello ~mellita, most of those "beverages" are water anyway, so a little more of that ingredient can't hurt, can it? :-)

And speaking about romances, here's a way to shall I say "induce" them:
