I wonder which transits were activated today. My low tire pressure signal went on just a minute before a car pulled out across lanes directly in front of me. Luckily, my brakes and the brakes of the car coming the other way worked. Turns out I had a bolt/screw in the tire. Yaaaay.

I miss mass-market paperbacks. Maybe it’s just my age, but they just felt better to carry, and they smelled bookier. Plus, I could fit more of them on my shelves.

If you’re dealing with grief and loss, it’s either the best time or the worst time to read The Honey Witch by Sydney J. Shields. I’m not sure which. Let’s just say I sobbed. A couple of times. And the acknowledgements were somehow worse (as in, made me cry harder).

I’m not sure what’s going on today, but literally everyone was super nice to me. My overworked mechanic voluntarily stayed late just for me, two cashiers lit up like I was their favorite customer even though I *know* we’ve never interacted before and one complimented my top and purse, one lady 1/2

My husband just said “Leos don’t have good hand eye coordination.” And I laughed. And then I realized that I don’t know a single Leo who does have good hand eye coordination? Is this actually a thing? I know there are definitely Leos who are coordinated, but are they the exception to the rule?

Accidentally hit the microphone while in my notes app. Room was totally quiet, not even a fan or refrigerator humming. I didn’t say anything. I clicked it off so fast that I don’t think I even breathed. It transcribed “no.” Ummm….

Sometimes I think I don’t have much in common with my husband. Other times, we’ll be watching a walking tour of Grimentz, Switzerland together, see a snow plow, and simultaneously point at it and yell “ooooooooo!”

Half listening to a YouTube video, and I hear “How do I kill ants? Tarot!” He’s a bit of an odd duck, so I’m waiting for an explanation. Terro. He said Terro. 🤦‍♀️ (for non-USAians, Terro is a pesticide brand that specializes in ant poison.)

When I was a teenager, I could and did watch tv, listen to music, & talk on the phone while doing my homework or reading a book. I miss that. No wonder life feels like it goes faster as you age. When you can only do one thing at a time & often rest between those things, you can’t accomplish as much.

I think I finally understand the people that used to hate on the Harry Potter Everywhere (before it was broadly known that Rowling is horrible), because I’m feeling the same about Wicked. I don’t talk about it because I don’t want to yuck other people’s yum, but I’m getting it now.

Was super tired last night and had a plumber coming today. So OF COURSE my brain decided that last night was the perfect time to start processing childhood trauma. 👍

Noticing a lot of details in Halloweentown that I missed in previous watches. Like, when the kids arrive in Halloweentown, Sophie says “it’s the bad thing.” Even though she’s not referring to a person, the bad guy is in the next shot.

Just checked my journal to see what was going on around the new moon in Aries, given the full moon in Aries tomorrow. I opened the bag of frozen spicy Buldak dumplings. I finished that bag this week. 😂

Feeling very agitated. Been trying to sleep for 45 minutes, but having multiple arguments and presentations playing out in my head. I finished my book earlier today, so I THOUGHT I’d be able to sleep at a reasonable time, but nooooo.

Just realized that I enter my 8th house profection month the day after the next eclipse. I don’t know if I like this. (I am cautiously hopeful about my next profection year? Venus ruled.)
