Mercury Retrograde always makes me feel like this one in the picture, although without the safety harness. I am grateful that this wasn’t my worst MR of recent years (the worst was when we had to move during it in 2021), but I definitely took some hits.
Mercury turned yesterday, and this week, I will attempt to climb back up and land on top of the cliff and keep going. There’s a new moon at the end of the week, and that should help.
What’s your intent for the week?

Ink In My Coffee 
My intent is to get back blogging and working on novel this week. You mention moving during MR… and that’s just what I’ve been doing THIS one!!! And yeah, it’s been something. I’m so glad to hear we’re moving out of it now.
I’m coming over from Melissa’s blog… 😀
So nice to meet you, Deborah, and welcome. Oh, I feel your pain moving during MR. I had hoped to get it done earlier, but that’s not how it happened. I wish you peace and rest as soon as possible. And good luck on the novel.
I hope things improve! My intent for the week is to get back to exercising. Now that I have pain relief at hand, that will make a huge difference. Also have decided to no longer send out more queries for my novel and to focus solely on my current WIP.
Sounds like a good plan. And glad you’re feeling better.
