The Return of this Poor Blog

 Jupiter in the Fourth

Time for settling down and putting down roots. So what if one has owned the house for 24 years and is  making the improvements only so it will sell for more money when one is dead? Positive thinking, that's what it's all about. And ONE of the improvements is to help me while I'm alive - remodeling the little bathroom by taking out the old tub and replacing it with a walk-in shower with grab bars, now that I need a hip replacement and can't walk - due to begin today but the astrologer forgot all about Mercury Retrograde so the plumber has a family emergency and probably won't be able to begin till Monday, if then because it's Fourth of July on Saturday so Monday may well be a holiday. 

How's that for a start? 

Shadow Work

Or,

Progressed Saturn conjunct natal north node in Cancer 

as well as transiting Saturn in the Twelfth

An extremely horrible transit and one I'm not sure I'm strong enough to get through. 

Destined to be fulfilled? 

Maybe It's Coming Back

 Could be. 

The Demise of this Poor Blog

RIP 2009 - probably 2026

Reason: Its blogger's inability to withstand pain caused by need for hip replacement and her subsequent collapse into hopelessness and despair. 

Sun Conjunct Uranus

Here's a good 'un - Sun conjunction Uranus and instead of staying in bed all day as usual I actually get out of bed at 9, write my will and wonder of wonders, take a shower. Too bad it won't happen for another year. 

Slip-sliding Away

Life as I knew it, that is. Now I'm to have an eleven foot ramp on the back patio replacing the two steep concrete steps I can't get up or down, now that I have to use  either a cane or an actual real life walker, so here goes the lovely little rock wall  the cat loves to sit on at night and also the big old wooden flower box John made me 20 years ago probably, as it will get in the way of the new ramp.

The plants are all dying in spite of  TWO people coming today to water (by mistake), the snapdragons wilting and hanging on for dear life. As for me, I can start to cry at the drop of a hat — at the drop of anything really as to pick anything up from the floor I have to bend my right knee backwards, hold on to the cane with my right hand and try and do a swoop downwards with my right hand and hope I can pick up whatever it is that's on the floor.

Sun Square Pluto and...

 ...Venus trine Neptune

Both of these perfecting close to midnight tonight but the Venus one definitely winning out so far.

I've now lost my one reader as this is turning into once-a-week-astrology, but it's all that I can do. 

I decided yesterday that I'd start to take Tramadol today to be able to get up and start to take care of this house, but no such luck. I've been awake since 4am and here we are going on 9:30 and zilch. Can't do exercises, can't get back to sleep, can't do nothing. Coming to the end of April and I've been in bed all year.
