So yes, Mercury started its retro journey yesterday and by 11.30 a.m. I was a complete and utter wreck - a shadow of my former self lol. This one really came in like a raging bull. It began first off at 7.00 am when I was trying to phone Ireland to book hotels for our forthcoming trip. People kept banging the phone down saying they couldn't hear me. I was hoarse from shouting 'CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW...' I had to dial each hotel at least four times before I was eventually heard. I had a busy day ahead of me so decided to put the dinner into the slow cooker, but first the pressure cooker to tenderise the meat. I knew I wouldn't have time to cook it later. I had an astrology client coming in so did a quick tidy around the house while the meat was tenderising and low and behold when my back was turned, the pressure cooker started spewing out this vile grey gunk. It was just like Mount Vesuvius with the steam rising and the noise deafening. I threw two dishcloths at it to shut it up but no, it was on a mercury retro mission to destroy my stove, and my life. The steam dislodged the plastic guard from the stove, which duly fell off in my hands. As for the mess...I'll be finding bits of it next summer. That had all happened by 9.00 am but there was more...WORSE to come. I had a 9.30 appointment with my personal trainer. I flew into town, put the money in the parking meter - enough for an hour at least. When I came out I had a bleedin' parking ticket on my window! In the blink of an eye I knew what it felt like to be a pressure cooker. All that steam inside and needing a bit of release! I got into the car and turned on my christmas CD and fast forwarded to the Pogues and their 'Fairytale of New York'. We sang along together 'You scumbag, you maggot, you sweet lousy faggot...' and it was great. In the corner of my eye I spotted the ticket monster. He had a big smile on his face as he was having a bonanza morning. (Ticket monsters and computer doctors benefit hugely when mercury is retrograde). I have to blame my own fuzzy thinking as I was sure I had put in at least an hour's worth of coins. As soon as I got home, I went out again to bring Victoria up to the University. Then back for my client. who had emailed me to say she was running late. Of course, I hadn't got the email because Mercury being retro, communications go gaga. So I was late picking Claudia up from school, and late getting into the office with Kevin. RUSH RUSH RUSH - Everything to do with Communications today, was everything Mercury retrograde had promised...Forewarned in my case did not help me one single bit!! Ah well - tomorrow is another day...
Talk Soon!
