Saturn Square Saturn exact and Venus Square the MC....

.....and later in the day Mercury square Uranus.

I am driving myself around the bend waiting for these workmen to be gone. I can't just accept that they're here on the front porch and then the back patio and they've been here for almost two weeks now and I'm allowing myself to be driven crazy.

First Physical Therapy appointment this morning at 8 and I came straight back to the house and have been here ever since. I OUGHT to take trash into town and haven't done it, I OUGHT to do this and OUGHT to do the other and I just sit here in the little back bedroom and indulge my Trump Derangement Syndrome and watch Pondering Politics and Adam Mockler and all the rest saying and showing that Trump is a crazy old man intent on destroying this country and just wish that this crew would pack up all their stuff and be gone. 

Note from yesterday: Somewhere around early afternoon yesterday I was able to rouse myself and put a load of laundry in. Ten minutes after that a plumber appeared and said he had to shut off the water for a bit. I pointed him to the well house, lifted the lid of the washing machine and switched it off.

Thirty minutes later he completed his job, which will make it much easier for me to attach a hose to the outside faucet, turned the water back on and left. I went to restart the laundry that had been sitting in the tub for 30 minutes and it wouldn't turn on. Several attempts but would not turn on. Called plumber, asked him to come back and when he had showed him how the machine wouldn't turn on. He shut the lid and immediately my sheets began swishing around in soapy water and I felt like the biggest idiot of all time. 

I have no business living in a house. 

But this is what it looks like with the horrible pink wall gone. 

And of course the Moon is in the Fourth today -

"This is a good time to retire by yourself to your own private place. You seek and need comfort from the demands of the outside world, and having a pleasant relaxing time at home is probably the best way to accomplish this."

 

So Now the Sun's with Saturn Opposing Saturn

This really is like a living nightmare. And just as I'm about to to go to talk about this morning - workmen everywhere, me stuck in the little back room with lousy Internet and banging noises all over the place and the guys go off for lunch and I think it's safe to put a load of laundry in and I do and then a plumber arrives and tells me has to shut the water off - as I climb back on to the bed a text comes telling me one of the people I used to play tennis with has died, "they think about four days ago".

Chilling words for them of us what live alone. 

The poking and scraping outside has started again. Plumber seems to have left. No idea whether he turned the water on again or not. 

Should I leave this open to chronicle the future events of the day or accept reality and acknowledge I probably won't write anything else and just "publish"?

4:21pm

OK, my solitary reader, whomever you might be (and thank you), have not read this post and so I can add to it instead of having to do a whole new post under the same aspects. If I had any discipline I could set a time for posting and do it every day to the hour. to the hour.  I don't.

My (intercepted) Aries Sun in the Twelfth has never liked having workmen at the house so of course now the Sun has joined up with Saturn there are workmen swarming all over the place and I'm imprisoned in the little back bedroom at LWH where there's lousy Internet. There's lousy Internet all over the house come to think of it but it's the worst here.

Saturn Square Saturn and Opposed to Neptune

So this is supposed to be the roughest time of all, it seems, from the 13th of March or so till the first few days of April. No argument from me.

Just wrote three more paras that the lousy Internet didn't save. 

...and now Venus sextiles the Moon

This is what happens when your natal Sun sextiles your Moon—one day Venus conjuncts your Sun, the next it sextiles your Moon. (Tim Cook has decided there's no such word as "sextile" and keeps replacing it with "textile". If I miss one, please accept my apology.)

Sidetrack: I'm beginning to think that when Neptune conjuncted Saturn whenever that was (the day SCOTUS told POTUS his tarriffs were illegal)and gave everyone on earth the chance to begin something new, the something new for me is getting a YouTube channel going. 

I have one, of course, but I don't know what its name is. I don't think it has one. I did it last year when Trump was sitting there day after day having executive orders read out to him and then signing them and holding them up to show us all he knew how to sign his name and what a clever boy he was. 'Tis my hope that that signature will put him in jail. 

Moving on from that example of my impetuosity to Venus sextiling the Moon today, I'm very happy here at home, hobbling and piddling around emptying the living room and Big Sunny Space for the painters on Monday. I'm on a bit of a roll and don't want to be sitting here inside on this glorious day. So maybe later. 

  It's taken a long time for me to call this house home and I'm happily hobbling and piddling

I think right now I have about 4 Google accounts and am reluctant to trash them as  this blog might be attached to one of them 

Venus Conjunct the Sun, CONTINUED

Personal magnetism - this should be good. 

Well, the cat was out all last night so he's been having a cuddle all morning.

This is kind of in reverse - people staying away - but I was expecting the stucco crew to be here again and they're not, so it feels like a holiday not having to walk around closing the curtains as I go from room to room, not that I do that very much. 

I do have a friend coming by this afternoon, and it always goes well when I see her.

I just wish the being in pain didn't stop me from doing anything else. 

 9:33 PM

P.S. I have to stop being a big baby. A friend I haven't seen for ages texted and asked if this weekend was a good time for her to visit. I said no, not quite that abruptly, but we exchanged emoji hearts and all is well.

Then when the friend I knew was coming came she brought me some beautiful little live pansies that I can put in a bowl easily and have on the back patio table. 

Much more better than I imagined. 

Mercury Conjunct Mars

OK, back to normal haha. 

Quick events of last two weeks: 

My sister died.

Trump took us to war.

My leg really really hurt.

It's the 15th. I started to write this on the 13th, couldn't finish it. 

A Test of Endurance

Chiron square the Midheaven:

This is the second go-around of this and will be over at the beginning of April, just as Chiron moves on to conjunct Mercury and then Venus. 

I haven't written on here for a week and have lost my 90 day streak on Duolingo.

It seems I can cope with anything except physical pain. Last time this was in effect was the jumping through hoops time with all the incorrect DWI information. 

I see the surgeon for a consult about my hip replacement on 3/30.
