Me and the cat argued Tuesday morning about who had the rights to what pillow, and she kept wanting me to get up and put food in her dish. Demanding, almost. I’d left the back door open, and there was a cool nip to the air. “Gets cool out and suddenly I’m your friend again?” I asked her.
I keep feeling like there’s some kind of imbalance in my life right now, but I can take one glance at an astrology chart, and I can pinpoint the exact location of the malaise and discomfort.
Venus.
Venus is backwards.
Happens once a year or so, no big deal. Plus the Sun is in that mix, too. I’m sure something funny happened at work, but at this time, I’m not allowed to reiterate the story. I grabbed a cup of coffee on the way home, trying to read the fine-ground grinds left over, but reading coffee grounds is not strength.
That sweet Pisces and Cranky Amy wanted food, and so we all went over to local noodle place. Deal is, the noodle stand is close to a pet store, and we had to see the flying squirrels [Australian Sugar Gliders>, the chirping frogs, the ferrets on crack, and then, I had to pony up two dollars for a small rat so I could see a Rock Python have some dinner. That poor Pisces, being vegetarian and all, sort of bothered her to see that small rodent get squashed and then swallowed whole. I was fascinated, though, and it looked like there was a complete second set of teeth along the roof the snake’s mouth.
A guy wandered in, and he was asking about his pet ball python because the snake wasn’t growing very much. I kept ask what the similarity was between that snake and me.
After watching the snake have his dinner, we rushed right on over, and had a bowl of noodles soup. Mine had the “steak” in it, and I gladly pointed out the slices of beef had been raw until they were cooked in the soup.
Made that vegetarian’s night.
And while I making someone’s night, this week’s trivia question just got the nicest win. Stay tuned.
