General Daily Insight
The Moon is in emotionally responsive Cancer all day, reminding us that home is really where our heart is. But we aren't necessarily lazy, for the Crab can appear to be doing little while it is hard at work. The Sun tenses up to erratic Uranus, heightening our anticipation or stirring up a bit of nervous anxiety. But Mental Mercury's easygoing trine to diffusive Neptune softens the edginess so we can nurture our closest friends and family.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
You have been rather serious recently, and today with the Moon back in your sign, you are deeply in touch with your feelings. But your passions have cooled so you are more than willing to refrain from expressing your desires. Keep in mind that you may be harder on yourself than usual. Look at the facts, but save your critical judgments for another day.

Today:
You may sense a feel of emotional safety, LINDSAY, and thus more able to comfortably express your ideas and emotions. A feeling like this hasn't occurred so profoundly in a while, so take advantage of it by saying all the things that you have wanted to say for a while. Because of the solid feeling backing your words, you will find that you can express yourself in a non-threatening way, and that people respond to you very positively.

This coming week:

Past and Present
This week, LINDSAY, you may be surprised when you see a recent photo of people you used to associate with. The passage of time might not be as real to you as it is to others, as your innate sensitive nature usually has a strong connection to the people and places that have affected you in the past. Venus, currently in your house of metaphysical ideas, squares Mars in Pisces on Monday and you might ask yourself a few philosophical questions about the nature of time itself, once you see how changed your former associates have become in the years since you first knew them. On Thursday, the Moon enters your communication zone and you might go through your address book and update it. That activity may inspire you to get in touch with many of your companions, past and present, to catch up on old times. You should get a lot of enjoyment from touching base with associates you have not spoken to in a while. On Saturday, Mars conjuncts Uranus in your travel sector and you might get an unexpected invitation to visit a family member. Think about saying yes, since a change of scenery might be good for your emotional equilibrium.

Because I'm just that loopy and crazy tonight I did something I haven't done since high school. I pulled out the mic and recorded myself singing on the silly little wav recorder on the computer. Those of you who haven't been subjected to it before have the chance to hear it or ignore it as you will. Since I currently am addicted to the song in the video I just posted, it's that. I'm a bit congested, too, so I apologize in advance.

Just because.

I've missed singing so much, and I've recently been doing more of it again. Once I'm settled a bit somewhere I plan on picking up voice lessons again (not that I've had many to speak of in the past), and dance again. I'm not sure which form of dance I want to pick up, but I just feel so. good. when I'm taking dance. It does far more for me than working out or yoga, and I'm far more passionate about it, given that it's a form of expression and something I did for nine years.

Terribly introspective today, and wanting to spend the entirety of it reading and writing, and not wanting to go to work at all. Unfortunately, I have to work both places today. Damn. I actually did well downtown last night, though. I'm not used to making that much on a weeknight anywhere I've worked (save CiP the first couple of months we were open, and weekday volumes at the Brewery). I miss the Brewery. I look back and realize just how much money I made there--somewhere roundabout $400+ a week (though I did work ~42-45 hours a week there, and it was during the summer tourist season). I went back to school that year with an actual bank account...over $800 saved up (and I bought a LOT of stuff that summer--a three-in-one printer, a digital camera, clothes, ridiculous amounts of food from work and fast food joints, etc.). They closed for a couple of months recently. I imagine they're going through a shifting. Probably a new menu and some remodelling. I hope it picks back up for them once they reopen because it's really a fantastic restaurant with some fantastic microbrews. Dan and I were extremely depressed when we visited my parents when I picked my new car up and it was closed. I was very happy to hear it was only temporary.

Well, off I go to get ready for work now. Bah.

Wow. 16649 steps tonight. Yes, you're going to have to deal with this every night I work until the novelty of doing it wears off.

My throat really really really hurts and nothing is helping it. This sucks.

Stevie Nicks's father passed away a couple of days ago.

I am ready to strangle some people I work with. I was FoH (Front of House) closer tonight, which means I check a designated area of seats. I make sure the six-packs are refilled and done correctly (Heinz 57, salt, kethcup, tobasco sauce, pepper and mustard), that people have swept their section and that their tables look presentable and ready for the next day. We have a FoH closer (who is responsible for checking out most of the non-smoking sections), a bar closer (who is responsible for checking out the bar area sections), and a patio closer (responsible for checking out the people who worked on the patio, obviously). Tonight I signed out about six people. Three of those people were from other sections. I went to check out my area before the manager did an inspect of it and realised that I had checked out all of about three people of my own area and that someone else had done the rest--badly. Very badly. I had to sweep almost the entire non-smoking area (save those I had checked out myself) and fix about three incorrect six-packs. Also, I saw my initials on the board for a couple of people who I definitely did NOT check out or sign for who were not in my area and not one of the other three I checked out. So, A) I'm infuriated with whomever checked the people of my section out and didn't actually make sure things were done properly, and B) infuriated with the people who decided it would be fun to forge my initials next to their names so that they could leave. Just because you're angry that you got a bad section and that it was a section with only two tables does NOT mean you can slack on your closing sidework, Taylor (not like she's actually on here and will read this), and it DEFINITELY does not mean you can forge my initials so you don't have to do it...when I wasn't even closer for your section.

Stupid people.

They had fresh ears of corn on sale at Meijer--14 for $2. I love summer so much. I could completely make an entire meal out of fresh ears of corn only.

*runs off to make a veggie BLT and fresh corn on the cob*

Now I just need to figure out which CD to best compliment this wonderful mix of good weather, yummy food and happy Lindsay...I do believe Heather Nova...probably South :-D

Edit: Okay, so it ended up being Fleetwood Mac's "Say You Will"...today's Stevie's 57th birthday! I hope I look so good when I'm 57...lol: enchantedstevie

So how many of us with gmail end up at gamil.com at least once a week?

*raises hand*

In other randomness...apparently tonight is Reese Witherspoon night. I started out with Election (which I hadn't seen in ages, and it makes good background noise for cleaning), and I just put Cruel Intentions in (for the same reasons)...

...and I still haven't completely watched/returned Vanity Fair. It was due Monday :-P
