Horoscopes, Birds, and Authors Galore

My horoscope for the day: You've got to watch yourself a little more closely today, though that may not be easy. In fact, you may get too lost in your own internal shenanigans to notice when someone steps up to confront you.

Say, what?????

I suppose that means when I'm sitting and plotting with my eyes closed, my hubby will enter my office unheard and scare me. Okay, so I'm forewarned.

In the meantime, I'm watching two beautiful finches eating the seeds from the purple coneflowers. They are such beautiful and determined birds.

Not much to share today, it is Monday, after all! Be sure to check the listing of Author Interviews and Guest Bloggers I have lined up beginning in September.

Horoscopes: Boldly Busted

My horoscope for the day says: You may feel as if you've hit a wall in your career path, but you need to keep from giving up. It may be that you need to make a bold change, but now is a better time for thought than for action.

Bold? I looked this word up in my Thesauras which states: audacious, forward, brave, impudent.

I don't believe I'm a bold kind of person. With that in mind, what kind of change would I make?

It's a good thing I don't really believe in horoscopes! Oh, I know that some things about our sun signs are right in line with our personalities, but come on. A printed horoscope for the day will vary across different medias according to:  the AUTHOR! Yep, and that's the truth. Printed horoscopes are written by someone just like me. Someone who has to sit down and write, pulling the words, one at a time, from their brain. It's fiction.

But, it's entertaining. So, what's not to love about that?

Follow My Horoscope---No Way!!

So, I read my horoscope each morning on my internet home page. This morning it says:

Exercise could be on your mind -- spring is almost here, after all -- and your head is in the right space to get started on a new fitness routine. You should be able to make it stick long enough to count.

Um, not!! It seems every time I start an exercise regime, which consists of walking (usually on the treadmill) I wind up with something painful that debilitates me. A few years ago, I had a pain in my hip area, but I kept walking, pushing through the pain, and eventually wound up with bursitis that literally kept me in my chair for a week. I couldn't walk. Last year I tried walking on my treadmill and a pain shot through my foot which prevented me from doing any serious exercise walking for several months. Two months ago, I started walking on my treadmill again. Yep, pain in my foot. I tried to ignore it until I reached the point that I was limping so badly I could barely walk up our steps. Sigh. Finally, I went to the doctor and had an x-ray. Diagnosis...arthritis and bunion. So, what's a gal to do?

When All IWant to Do is Go Back To Sleep...

...but I have to get moving and go to work, there is only one thing for me to do. Read my horoscope. My horoscope for today:

New ideas are coming your way today -- maybe too many of them! It's a really good time to take a break from your preconceptions and see if you can get a jump on the next big thing.

I sure hope this applies to my writing, not my job, although I am ready to move one. Just four more months.
