Somehow, when my mom ordered the tickets for tomorrow night's performance of The Rivals at APT, she managed to leave an open seat in the middle separate our group of 4 into two groups of two with an empty seat between, lol. And she didn't realize until tonight.

Also. before i forget, here are some of the promised pictures from today of my 14 year old baby luck dragon's transformation from shaggy bear to sleek emo child puppy cut. I mean, are you even a Pisces if you don't have your emo phases?  As a Pisces rising with a lot of really close Pisces placement friends/family throughout my life, the thing to remember about a Pisces is that however melodramatic they seem or how quickly their mood changes when you address the issue, their emotions are ALWAYS that deep and genuine whatever it is they're feeling. And they have a lot of intense feelings, all the time. it's one of the things I love most about Pisces placements -- whatever it is, it will be honest and genuine for who they are and what they're feeling in that moment. It's never going to be a false front mask or a lie or manipulative -- it's just whatever they're generally feeling right then in that moment. It may change like waves on water, but it's always authentic and honest of their truth they're experiencing/feeling in that moment.  And I admire and love that clarity and honesty of emoting. It's always honest, no matter how intense it is.  When my dog feels particularly emo, even when she just wants to go inside for her haircut not have me take pictures of her in the hot car, she will use her paws to scratch her bangs over her eyes or when short flick her ears over her eyes to stare out at you through the hair.

After: 

She definitely decided she needed to go outside during the heaviest monsoon like part of the storm after I came in soaking wet from helping my da with moving as much as possible of the tree that broke in the winds this evening and is still partially lying broken over a portion of the garden because it fell right before the rains started. My dog is a true Pisces bog dog loves getting soaked to the skin in rain, snow, swimming, swim fetch, rolling in puddles, flopping in mud... Everything with water except showers. There was a lot of flooding the year she was born, enough to close state parks and everything and on some of our hikes the lake had overflown the road and paths she had to swim while it was up to mid calf on me just to finish our hikes. Snow is her favorite, she is absolutely gleeful to play and be out in fresh snow, but rainy day walks where we both get soaked to the skin are also a favorite of hers. She quite literally has a command, "No bog!" if you see any puddle, especially mud puddles, that you have to tell her before she flops into it, lol.

Anyway, It's amazing how different she looks in her before/afters between her shaggy winter state and when she's shaved down for the summer. (She was born as a black and tan typical Yorkie coloring and at about a year or so old started to lighten up into her current platinum blonde/strawberry blonde in a black/grey tee shirt coloring.)  the first time I picked her up after getting her shorn for the summer I genuinely didn't recognize her thought she was a completely different dog until I looked into her eyes.
