Sometimes Mercury Retrograde Works In Our Favour

Mercury Retrograde happens about +hree times a year. Mercury Retrograde #tw0 started on May XIV and will end June III. To those of us who practice astrology, these times miscommunications, confusion, delay, frustrations, email blunders, undelivered love letters and frazzled travel plans.

Thus far, I was a poll worker on May XIV - There were district changes and lots of confusion. There were times when members of the same household ended up in different districts. Thankfully, the voting polls for the districts in my town all operate in the same building. This was not the case for many of the voting places in our county. Some voters would go to the place that they always went to vote only to be sent someplace else across the county.

I ordered books in April that still have not arrived. I contacted the seller and now they have to do a lost package inquiry. I hope I have time to read the books in time for our Book Club on June III, the last day of the Retrograde.

I have been on a weight loss adventure since Winter Solstice in order to qualify for hip replacement surgery. I am now within 12 lbs of the goal to qualify for the surgery. So today was one of those days when I was REALLY tired of my own cooking.

I called my girlfriend and told her that I had a coupon for two burgers and asked if she wanted one of them. I drove to Hardees and ordered the burgers. I paid for them in the drive though with cash. I noticed that the cashier gave me the wrong amount of change. I opted to let it slide. I noted that there was a woman with a carload of behind me. I told the man at the window that I wanted to pick up her tab and paid for it with my card.

When I got home, I noticed that there were several containers of fries, chicken nuggets, and apple pies. I immediately headed back and pointed out that I picked up the wrong order. The woman was parked outside away from the window obviously waiting for the right order. I hope they let her keep the burgers. They let me keep the bag with the wrong orders. Most of the food in the bag is on my "no no" list. I ate a half container of fries on the drive home. I haven't eaten fries in several months.

When I got to my girlfriends home, she helped herself to one of the apple pies while we pondered on what to do with the rest of the food. I finally contacted my who was at work. He has been having a rough time financially to the point where I've had to put together a couple of care packages for him. I let him know the situation and let him know that I would be delivering him some food.

I stopped by Hardees and picked up a prime rib sandwich for him. Mama NEVER lets her baby go hungry. The gentleman at the window commented that I was their best customer that day since I had been there +hree times that day.

I thought it was awesome that a random act of kindness (paying it forward) provided meals for at least six people today. I know that fries are not the best food choice for someone on a weight loss journey but I DID throw away the buns on the burger. It was kind of a bad but not an outrageous bad

Recently my Doctor informed me I needed more salt in my diet............ I left heading straight to Mc Dezzz for a large order of fries for the trip home. My Viking ancestry imbues me with a deep love of Mercury's musings that "Beserker" sets in and the boundless energy flows.

So you ate some fries, one day off your diet is not a sin and most likely will kick start you back into your weight loss. Sometimes it's nice to splurge a little.

Good to see you, it's been awhile.
