Mars Sextile Mars

OK, I'm supposed to be feeling energetic and vigorous and my physical health will be quite good (hasn't been for the past few months and probably won't be for another year or so) but I did open the four Christmas cards I've had for a week and respond to two of them so I guess that passes as energetic and vigorous. 

It was rainy and overcast and I thought it would be a good day to stay home and get started on what needs to be done for Thursday but I let S persuade me we should go to Deming and get the THING out so - big mistake letting her sleep late -  I called INTOXALOCK and made an appointment for two. 

Took a pair of reader glasses to Van Dram so I'll be able to see when I'm driving, returned the Vivai or whatever they're called shoes that were too small returned the Danskin tapered leggings that were too big, bought Sushi rice at the co-op and set off for Deming, and here astrology truly comes into play because I didn't write this yesterday and today - 12/30 - I have Mercury trine Mercury and at 7:28am  have already sauted (?) garlic and added pork ribs and they are cooking away and I'm about to try to make shortbread and refine the shopping list and Mars sextile Mars will have to wait.
