We get an extra day this year! I haven’t done anything special with it. I haven’t felt that it was an extra day.  It was a Friday though, so that made it feel good.
Traditionally it’s a once in four years opportunity for women to propose marriage. I missed it! Can’t say if I wanted to get married […]

My dad told me on Saturday that he’d had a skin cancer cut out, that he had to go back about, because it was one of the nasty ones. I know there are medical terms for these things, but I am clearly not a medically minded person, so bear with me. I immediately burst into […]

My new found teacher, blogger, buddy Frogdancer wrote a post tonight that I plugged right into.  Her post ‘Frogdancer gets soapboxy’ had the effect of getting me up on mine. My teaching rounds were a nightmare. It all came flooding back to me when I read it. I didn’t go down the usual school to uni […]

Mercury moved forward today but it will be March 10th before it gets back to where it was before it began going backward. This full moon is in Virgo. The eclipse intensifies the energies.
