Planning

[mallorys_camera]

All those hours at the gym? They're paying off. Six months ago, it was hard for me to carry a 20-lb cannister of kitty litter. Now, I can tote one with no effort at all. Effortlessly toss it from hand to hand!

Take that, Entropy!

In general, though, this will not be the trend—as Ichabod reminded me in a longish phone conversation yesterday.

I am a grasshopper; Ichabod is an ant.

Periodically, we have Discussions About the Future: What are you going to do when you begin peeing on yourself?

Sometimes, RTT is inducted into these conversations—though RTT is a grasshopper, too, and thus not terribly helpful.

Fact: I will be 73 years old next month, so I am looking at a future where I will grow weaker & less competent & at some indeterminate point dependent instead of independent.

What do I plan to do about that?

Ichabod, God bless him, is big on plans. I was never taught how to plan and have not a single earth sign in my astroloogical natal chart; thus preparing for unpleasant inevitabilities is not my strong point. Though I do recognize the necessity of planning for unpleasant inevitabilities.

Does anyone ever imagine they'll grow old when they're young?

I sure didn't.

Meanwhile, on the venue today: Remuneration & Adrienne's website!

I kinda want to see Mickey 17, Bong Joon Ho's followup to Parasite (which I ❤️LUV❤️ed) but that would require driving home in the dark—which I know longer feel is quite safe for me to do (see lamentation above on getting old.)

Lordy, P. There's a ton of folks in there 80s doing fine. You're definitely going to be one of them.

[mallorys_camera]

Maybe. 😀

Might be worth checking your progressed chart, can be weirdly reflective. I looked at mine, and with Uranus 12th house plus Pluto 1st house conjunct my (now Virgo) ascendant and each other, makes weird sense given the past few years. My natal chart had one earth placement, but with New Progressed Improvements, I have all this in Virgo and Taurus MC too. See how wise and sensible I have become!😉

Oooohhh, that's an interesting thought. I will check my progressed chart. I'm fairly certain there will be earth sign placements & some unfortunate Saturn aspect to my natal configurations.
