OK, I have a question. What do you think of horoscopes/astrology? I tend to base my beliefs on science, but it's fun to read horoscopes and see if they match up with what's actually going on in your life. (And thinking about this always reminds me of Michael Scott.) Anyway, I just realized Mercury was in retrograde from Sept. 17 through Oct. 9, and damn if those weren't some of the toughest weeks I've had in a long while. Not just for me, but for a lot of people I know. It just seems like everybody was getting dragged down by stress, challenges, communication breakdowns, and plain old bad luck. Did you feel that way, too? In fact, I kept thinking to myself that Mercury was probably in retrograde. I should have checked then! Luckily it seems like everybody's lives are calming down now, and I'm so grateful for that.
Things to do this weekend:
- Get matched with an adoptable dog (and OMG look at these wet dogs!)
- Check out Halloween costumes you can make from old bridesmaid dresses (genius!)
- Celebrate trench coats
- Go for a hike
- Binge-watch "Law & Order: SVU" (it's good for you!)
- Take great Halloween photos with your phone
- Read an awesome essay about vulnerability and trust in blogging
My plans for the coming week:
- Go record shopping
- Make something in the slow cooker
- Work on my plank (ugh)
- Watch Imagine Me & You
- Sew a dress for Thanksgiving
- Clean out a crammed junk cabinet in our living room
- Plan a camping trip with my brother and sister
