Venus Sextile Neptune

So is it Venus and Neptune sending me off into dreamland and making me light the fire at nine in the morning, wrap myself in the luxurious terrycloth robe a friend who DOESN'T have Venus in Aries gave me and curl up with the New Yorker, or am I doing all of that because after three days of chucking logs down the hill and sitting on a milk crate weeding, I can barely move anyway and apart from going back to bed there isn't too much choice of activity?

Whatever the answer to the above is, I'm pretty sure it was Venus, a couple of hours later, that had me wrestling the top off the jar of chocolate ganache, a gift from a house guest in July, that had been sitting on the pantry shelf ever since. Now that I'm following the Refrigerate After Opening instructions on the label and it's safely behind the eggplant tapenade and okra pickle spears on the top shelf, I'll say only that if you are going to mix chocolate ganache with peanut butter, microwaving for ten seconds before eating is the way to go.
