Mercury Square Mars and Opposed to Uranus

 

>>>You’re making great progress in earning back your streak!

Well that was Duolingo, and today is Boxing Day, 12/26, and this is a pitiful attempt to catch up with this poor little blog. 

I've earned back my Duolingo streak, but that had nothing to do with the 19th, which is when I think I gave in to the fact The Thing would still be in my car on 12/20 when I was supposed to drive to Tucson (three hours away) to pick up my surrogate grandchild,  S, who's been here for six days now  spending the festive holiday season with me. 

So with Mercury opposed to Uranus I admitted to myself The Thing would still be in my car when S arrived and the sensible thing to do would be to accept J's gracious offer to drive to Tucson with me as a passenger and drive back to Silver with me and S as passengers and give up on the fight to get The Thing out of my car. 

I must have driven to Deming on Thursday 12/18 when the Sun was trine Mercury for me, which I'd taken as the perfect day - exactly a year to the day that the first Thing had been installed in my car because of the DWI from 11/1/2024 - to get the second Thing out of my car, the second Thing being a device that required  only blowing instead of blowing and humming at the same time, except I hadn't looked at Device Removal Requirements so when I got to Deming (an hour away) Interstate Transmission told me they couldn't take IT out with approval from ITS manufacturer and I had a temper tantrum and drove back to Silver. 

This will have to do as a catch-up of this blog and now that Christmas is over I'll do my best to (hah!) to keep it up to date.
