Mercury stationed R conjunct Jupiter

If you're going to try to start to post every day you may as well do it on the day Mercury
is stationed almost directly on your natal Jupiter - I live to serve, and all that.

Today I was rejected by the Actors Studio for the 2010 - 11 Playwright/Directors Workshop - scarcely a surprise as the minute I sent my application demanding an English director and three English actors I knew I'd, er, made a mistake, and my Apologetic Addendum of last week would make no difference whatsoever; I listed the house for rent on Craigslist; I made an appointment for a cleaning at *my* dentist; I made an appointment with a PA for my *free* Medicare physical; I called the Fire Department to see what if anything I could do about the big high fence a neighbor has installed, blocking my view of the road; I called the utility company about removing an old electrical box that blocks access to *my* house; I went to the dump; I tried to help a neighbor understand the concept of cut and paste (see I live to serve) - unsuccessfully, unfortunately; I called my mortgage holder to tell them they were mistaken in their belief I am behind in my property taxes; I did so many things I've been procrastinating about for weeks if not months I'm a little stunned.

But I posted something on here. Ten points.

If You're Posting Again After Five Weeks...

... you may as well do it on the day Mercury squares Uranus and opposes Mars, as though you had any control over it. Where have I been? Nowhere. What have I been doing? Nothing. Not quite - I've been redoing all the things the handyman did wrong while I was in California, then putting all the furniture back (he did floors), then having J here for ten days which was great but just a little bit trying because I ran out of medication and almost had a nervous breakdown when my client in New York kept calling to ask if I'd finished the flap copy for him and J was asking me all kinds of questions about what kind of latches I wanted to use on the gates he was making for me (hey, I'm delicate) - then J left almost two weeks ago and since then I've been doing basically nothing. Maybe it's called "relaxing" but as that's almost an unknown concept I'm not sure.

So Mercury squares Uranus this morning and I get a phone call telling me the child I babysat for 45 years ago has been matched with a two-year-old in Nepal for adoption. That'll do for that manifestation. Now I just have to stay up till 11:27 to see what happens when Mercury opposes Mars. Fat chance.
