Waning Moon
Saturn Retrograde
Mercury Retrograde
Rainy and cool
Yesterday was a day of ups and downs and frustrations — I’m having a rough Saturn retrograde and a rough Mercury retrograde. I’ll have to ride it out. Hopefully, I won’t have this migraine stabbing me through the left eye the whole time, either.
Didn’t get enough of my own work done. Can’t really discuss the frustrations in detail, because there’s no way I can be diplomatic about them — I’m better off venting privately and getting on with it.
Made chicken and dumplings for dinner last night — needed comfort food!
Meeting last night was good — lots of laughter and fun.
Have a stack of books on Impressionism for research, and rejuggling the priorities of the longer project.
I can take on one more critique/editing client this week — if it’s booked this week. So email fearlessinkworkshops-at-gmail-dot-com if you’ve got something you need edited or critiqued.
Also, these are the last days to sign up for “Prolonged Engagement: Developing the Series”. Information and registration here.
Rehearsal is here tonight, so I’ve got to rearrange the furniture in the living room and set up the props. Should be fun!

I’ve found that retrogrades, while they do make their presence known, can be beneficial to some degree. Saturn slows everything down, but reaffirming commitments usually gets things going again, as does doubling the efforts. I use those slow times to restart stalled projects or get a marketing plan shift into operation. I think Mercury retrogrades can be transformative in a way — it’s a time to reassess and refocus energies. For the most part, I pay little attention to retrogrades and push my way through. Sure, the frustrations come, but I figure I’ve no choice but to keep on swimming no matter the current.
