beladona Memorial Be warned:in this very rich environment where you can immerse yourself so completely, your emotions will become engaged -- and not everyone is cognizant of that. Among the many excellent features of SL, there is no auto-return on hearts, so be wary of where your's wanders...
Today is the 22nd day of the 4th month and the 113th day of 2016. Today we are celebrating:
"In God We Trust" Day -- in 1864, Congress passes the Coinage Act of 1864 that mandates that the inscription In God We Trust be placed on all coins minted as United States currency.
The moon is full as of 1:24AM EDT today. This is known as the Full Pink Moon, heralding the appearance of the moss pink, or wild ground phlox—one of the first spring flowers. It is also known as the Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon, and the Fish Moon. While there are currently four planets retrograde, which is a bit unusual, and this is the smallest full moon of the year as we are one day away from apogee, no amount of planetary influence is going to turn it green. Unless you believe the moon is made of green cheese, that is.
Oh those Romans – 238 was known as the Year of the Six Emperors and on this day, the Senate outlawed emperor Maximinus Thrax, citing his bloodthirsty proscriptions in Rome, and nominated two of its members, Pupienus and Balbinus, to the throne.
OTOH: I am dragging today and feeling on the old side. My head is aching and feels like it is stuffed with cotton. My eyes are swollen, gunky and watery – very high pollen counts and having the windows open at night will do that to you. My legs ache and the muscles feel sore this morning – it was one of those arbitrary nights where I woke up every couple hours with painful cramps and walking about, taking aspirin and drinking water just didn’t to help much. I can’t tell you how much I wish I knew exactly what triggers these episodes – too much caffeine? Wearing the wrong shoes? Not getting enough potassium? Planetary alignment? -- so that I can avoid it happening. And there continues to be tech issues with work email that exacerbates the dullness of the tasks that have to be completed today [this is why it is called “work”, neh?].
OTOH: hey, it is Friday! It is jeans day at work, it is payday, and the weekend is beckoning from just over the horizon. In exactly six days I start vacation and the countdown to the much-planned trip with the family stands at WDW - 7 and counting. And, as vain as this may sound, I have been enjoying parading about in my new-found obsession – Lularoe leggings [thanx to my daughter!] -- and feeling rather slender [wow that is a word I very seldom would use when talking about myself] enough to wear some outfits this week that I haven’t had on for a very long time.
And you know what? Just writing that out made me feel a lot more chipper!
