what's in the stars this week?

ffloLast week my boss thought lots of people she knew were having weird communication problems. I saw that Mercury is retrograde & proposed that notion. (I don't actually believe that stuff in a more-than-handy-metaphor way, but I'm all for handy metaphors.)
So this morning I discovered that my refrigerator had been open a few inches all night. The why of it is a little odd, I admit; it had to do with not drying bras in the dryer and finding a handy spot to hang one with lots of air circulation on the handle of a tray that's stored on top of the fridge. I realized yesterday that it's a nice bonus how having a drying brassiere hanging there reminds me (no, not that I need milk) (though that'd be funnier) that I'm in the middle of doing laundry, so I remember more frequently to go down and run the dryer a third time for the clothes it's struggling to dry (poor thing). But having something hanging there does necessitate attending to slinging it aside to get into the fridge, or to close the door properly. Musta messed up on the latter last night some time.
Some things may not have spoiled, but the stuff near the lightbulb---which was on and warm all night---surely has. That stuff was warm to the touch. So much for the brand-new big ol' tub o' Trader Joe's yogurt, and that one hunk of fancy cheese I still had about a third of. The hyperpasteurized milk that woulda been good until 2006 is almost surely ruint now, as well.
But I get to say "ruint," at least.
Anyway, I hope there's no planetary reason I messed up with the fridge and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
anderyn's glasses broke that means little things we depend on are going on the fritz during this cycle of the moon's nodes or this passage of a comet too near Mars. I've got stuff to accomplish today! I canna have't.
(Oh, who am I kidding. I can have it. Whatever! [<--in the earlier-generation non-ironic sense] Nothing's life or death just now, almost certainly.)

but, p.s.,
Date: Nov. 23rd, 2005 02:15 am (UTC)CANCER (June 21-July 22): "If I had to live my life again," said actress Tallulah Bankhead, "I'd make the same mistakes, only sooner." These should be your words to live by in the coming weeks, Cancerian. In my astrological opinion, the smartest thing you can do is to try the iffy adventures you've been postponing and experiment with the chancy turns you've been wondering about. In order to set the stage for your greatest victories in 2006, you will have to learn lessons that these potential mistakes can help teach you.
Professor Pete's Horoscope
Date: Nov. 23rd, 2005 05:39 am (UTC)Aquarius: Boy that seemed like such a cool song back then, but now it seems so corny. And it was so optimistic, but the only thing that lingers from it is people still fall for astrology, and there are still tropical fish stores named "Age of Aquarium" all over the country.
Scorpio: It's Scorpius, dammit! Look at a star chart for once!
Leo: The ship's going to hit an iceberg. Skip the cruise.
Taurus: Don't worry about Orion's dogs cowering behind him, he's got a huge honking club he's gonna brain you with.
Ophiuchus: Yes a lot of people were born when the sun was in Ophiuchus. But astrologers haven't figured this out yet. If you are an Ophiuchus, astrologers have no power over you! Your destiny is your own! You are free!
