What the Stars Say* in These Foolish Things

Today’s horoscope:

Loosen up the emo armor and see what happens if you let yourself be a bit vulnerable today. Your M.O. is to use clever (and often sarcastic) banter as a shield, and while it does keep the “wrong” people at arm’s length, it can also shut the “right” ones out. Today, as boundary-hound Saturn attempts to work out its differences with sincere Venus, take a gamble and share something from the heart. Don’t worry about sounding clever or intellectual; the point is to be sincere!

And this is the last part of my monthly horoscope for August:

If you are single, you find yourself now in one of those rare years, when you are the favorite of Jupiter, the giver of gifts and luck, making you the sign most likely to find the right person for you. You also have Neptune in perfect harmony with your Sun, making the love you find deeply inspirational and life changing. You have a stellar chart for love – all you need to do is step out and draw that special person to you.

So the thing is, I can’t give up. I won’t give up! I know it’s difficult and I know it’s not even probable at this age, but I still believe that there’s someone out there for me…and I want that more than ever right now - hence the many, many men I’ve been going out with lately.

And yes, it’s discouraging and yes it makes me cry sometimes. But I’m just so sure that I was meant to be a part of a couple that I can’t let this go. I don’t want to be alone. I just don’t. Even though I love my alone time and I love to travel alone…I’m not meant to live my whole life solo.

I got a very good night’s sleep last night - even though I woke up a few times and my sleep tracker says otherwise. I fell asleep around 7pm and didn’t even take the dog out for her nightly walk (bad mom!), and I woke at 10:30 and again at around 2, but I didn’t get up until 6:30, so all-in-all I got most of my rest back from the crazy weekend and beginning of this week. Took the dog for a super good walk this morning!

What a weird time.

I’m sitting here in the office and it’s approaching 5:30. I’ve been waiting for an answer from my boss on something since 8:30 this morning and I can’t leave until I hear something …and then I’ll have to compose a fancy email once I do. I’ve heard from him on other items today, but this one is a super tough one and it’s going to get ugly once I send out the answer that my boss will (hopefully) ultimately give me. But I have a feeling I’m going to have to wait until like 7pm to get an answer out of him. He’s sitting in his office right now with the door closed. This is super annoying.

Update: Literally had to track my boss down as he was leaving the office! He was about to GHOST ME with regards to the information I needed to get out tonight! Seriously? Who thinks I have ghosting PTSD??? [raises hand]

I’m going to close for now because I have run out of things to say for now.

xox,
