NJM7: Mercury Retrograde in These Foolish Things

Some noters suggested that all of yesterday’s annoyances are most likely the result of Mercury being in Retrograde, and I have to agree! It’s just too weird that so many SNAFUs are happening that the retrograde MUST be the answer.

I haven’t yet seen my officemate who’s mad at me. She will be walking in the door any minute. I’m going to say “good morning” when she walks in to see what she says. If she ignores me, then it’s on her. If she says it back then I think we might be good because our disagreement is a stupid one and one I know that she’s eventually going to lose (it’s turf war stuff, meaning she’s encroaching on the area in which I do my development - we simply have to spread out sometimes and TLIC takes up a lot of room! We’ve never had her product category over in this area and it’s very utilitarian and looks like a big ol’ mess whereas mine looks like home decor because it is).

Ah! She just walked in. I said good morning and she just kinda glanced over her shoulder and just squeaked out a flat, “hey.”

I consider that all but ignoring me and I take that to mean she’s holding a grudge. Ugh. This stuff is so stupid and not worth the energy of writing about. She can hold her precious grudge. I’m moving on.

With regards to the incorrect billing and all that other stuff, I think I’ll try to make some more phone calls during lunchtime today to see if I can get all of that figured out. I don’t hold out hope that everything will be resolved today but…hopefully soon.

Medically speaking, I feel good again today! I have to keep Googling whether or not one baby aspirin a day will keep an intracranial aneurysm from bursting…and sure enough, every time I check, the Google Machine says that yes, it provides protection, but that nothing will GUARANTEE that my Lump/Bump won’t blow. So. I just try to remain as relaxed and calm as I can. My blood pressure is good and I’m not doing anything to shake up my brain…so…it’s the best I can do.

But I still don’t feel 100% and I did notice more blood yesterday when I went to the bathroom (but not every time) and my head gets these little sensations that are hard to describe. I know I’m thinking about it waaaaaay too much. I can definitely make myself go insane about this if I let myself.

So I’m trying not to think about it TOO much.

Romantically speaking, I got nothing. I mean, I get texts every so often from the Big Wild Rancher. I can’t believe he’s even still attempting to contact me because I just have nothing really to say to him. I’m more or less avoiding him.

I’m also in contact with some Bumble guy who just moved to the area from Arizona, which is kind of cool since I just got back from there, but he’s traveling for a while now so we won’t be meeting soon. And there are a couple of other Bumblers out there who I’m kind of meh about. But I guess I haven’t been trying very hard.

Maybe this weekend I’ll have some time to try. Maybe not. I mean, I still haven’t even unpacked from The Grand Birthday Adventure…so I have plenty of things to do before I go out on a date.

But a date is more fun. Can be, anyway.

Okay, let’s see if I can get some work done around this retrograde that doesn’t come back to bite me in the booty.

Cautiously,
GS
