back in the saddle again

or at least on the bus, so pardon lack of capital letters; it's a bit cramped, and my hand/wrist/arm movements are restricted.

this is my first trip back to new york since moving up to cambridge and my new domicile almost two weeks ago. while i *should* have come back down last weekend, as there's still so much to do in the apartment, i simply could not summon the necessary energy to do it and decided instead to go back around the corner and spend some time with sweet pea on the saturday night, as my employer and my job were away for the night; not a great idea, as my head was still swirling with the events of the ha ha holidays.

It felt very uncomfortable to be back at the scene of my crimes <ha ha again>, and having sweet pea almost ignore me didn't help. god knows he's never been the cuddliest of critters but at first he would barely let me pick him up, which did nothing whatever to elevate my mood and made it clear to me even one's pets join in the fun when Saturn is stationing opposite one's Venus. When employer and job appeared unannounced on Sunday morning I  could scarcely remove myself from the premises quickly enough, and hoofed it back to the novelty of my own room with a door, where I managed to lose myself again in black and white films noir for the rest of the day.

the good news? a second counseling session, during which i was not so distraught i could hardly speak, allowed me to get a lot off my chest re being cast as the villain of the piece, and while I'm nowhere near the stage of engaging in playful banter with my employer, I can at least manage to speak to her without choking.

sheesh - with that as the good news, it makes one shudder to think what the bad might be, although the good news there ha ha is that there really isn't any; it's now two weeks that i've been separated from sweet pea so it isn't news. o - the monthly 750 dollars it will cost me for my door isn't exactly cause for celebration, but there again, i am in love with herbert lom. i think it's my scorpio descendant.
