I think I managed to unlock a whole new level of peak Libra sun with Pisces rising today 😂 

Also,  if you don't just miss my face and you've been missing my overthinking and crazy stories,  you're just gonna have to keep missing me.  Life's been coming at me fast and everything's piling up at once again.  It literally took the entire drive to Art Institute (including downtown Chi traffic) to tell Crissy the story of my "weird but good" Thursday and then my parents creating excessive unnecessary drama of their own making that just left me completely emotionally/energetically shot....  

But on the bright side, after the 8am vet visit for my cat and dog, I now have 10:30am plans to meet up with my cousin Sabra and cousin-niece Vivian on Friday at the zoo to see the new baby otters!!!! I haven't seen Sabra and Viv since before covid shut everything down AND I haven't met the baby otters yet!!! 

Anyway, I've got to run to take my dog to get her summer cut (FINALLY!! It was a very long wait from when I called til getting her in and if not today wouldn't be able to get her in until after July 4) and then taking my grandma to get her hair cut.  Then dropping my grandma with my parents to babysit her (which will be fun given how stressed they are today,  especially with our database crashed post server updates) while I go pick up my dog who will be kenneled until I can get yo her,  but my parents were not keen on me leaving grandma at her haircut to quickly pick up my dog... And my uncle doesn't want to drive over to have dinner with grandma on his day to do it so I was asked to take her to early dinner which means I might not be able to get my dog by the time they close if I wait til after getting grandma settled.... 

But anyway,  my dog is so excited for her summer cut to go from shaggy teddy bear to emo puppy face!!!  We've been counting the tomorrows down for nearly a week and she's been impatient for me to take her since sunrise when it changed from tomorrow to today.  😂 

P. S. In vase you've never seen it before, this is my "fuck around and find out" face 

P. P. S.  In classic Mercury retrograde fashion,  one of my exes emailed me out of the blue middle of last night. (he's in France, so it was his morning)  Haven't read it yet.  This is the ex that my dog accidentally set me up with at an outdoor symphony picnic at Concerts on the Square when the people behind us were speaking in "our secret language" that only I and the French news use so she excitedly had to meet them.  He was a 30 year old former war correspondent investigative journalist who changed careers to teach English at a lycée in Marseilles and who was here taking his kids for their live-in family foreign exchange summer project.  But it's been like 6 or 7 years since I last talked to Philippe and the subject line is "A million years ago" So your guess about his email is as good as mine. 😂 Also,  the relationship never had any serious issues except that he didn't handle long term long distance without the physical well and I couldn't just re-locate to France and e couldn't get a longterm visa for here. And also yeah I know,  I have an ex named Philippe Le Breton (not the elderly politician, though they're related he mentioned once)  from Marseilles that my dog set me up with - and to make it even more cliche, he also recited me French poetry from memory (Lamartine's Le Lac) beneath a full moon sitting with our feet in Devil's Lake while a high school violinist serenaded us their practice Bach sonata right before our first kiss.  I guess that's also pretty peak Libra sun Pisces rising for a first kiss,  lol. 

As I've said,  I admit my own cliches. But even for me,  that was one of my "Sooooo where are the sitcom cameras? Is this even real life?!" moments for me.  it was so improbable a date and first kiss, even in my life.... So that's been done before if reciting me poetry in French while sitting by a lake under the full moon with violin music softly playing was your plan.
