Passion
Unrelenting
strange and full of contrasts
often egoistic
aggressive
noble
broad horizon
unexpected reactions
spontaneous
unlimited ambition
no flexibility
difficult and uncommon partner
not always liked but often admired
ingenious strategist very jealous and passionate
no compromises.

I am not qualified to judge this, but I will anyway. I think it's way off the mark. I don't have much ambition - though that's because I've fulfilled all the important ones - and I'm very predictable these days. I may well be a difficult partner, though; that seems likely. I don't think I'm very jealous and passionate, unless by passion they mean deep and solid rather than tempestuous feelings. I don't do drama anymore. And yes, I'm inflexible. Sure I am.

Schedule

12:15 - go to get my legs and armpits waxed (why does underarms sound more polite than armpits?)
16:30 - put second coat of primer on bathroom tiles (I'm covering up the flaws, and it's eight hours between coats. No showers today!)

Unspecified times today: Finish tidying the library, which I cleared this morning. Hang today's laundry up to dry. Post a few letters. Cook a stew. Change the bedding and do more laundry. Tidy the main bedroom and the dining room.

Depilated

Underarm waxing hurts. Really, really hurts. However, it's done now, so I can be beautiful for my wedding. Ow ow ow.

The legs weren't so bad, and I just hope that it doesn't grow back before the wedding, because I really wouldn't like getting it done again. The woman who did it was very professional; she ripped it all off quite quickly and got it over with as soon as possible, which I much appreciated, because it couldn't have been made pleasant.

Bye bye furry feminist principles again.

Next step: facial tomorrow.

So much to do, so little time

So I hung out the laundry, painted some of the pipes in the bathroom, bought stamps and posted letters, got my depilation done, and drank tea.

I still need to paint the first coat of topcoat over the primer on the bathroom tiles, eat lunch, cook dinner, go to a dancing lesson, sort another load of laundry - especially the bedding, please, Ailbhe, remember the bedding - and find somewhere for the piles of books that won't fit in the library to go. I suppose it was only a matter of time before we ran out of shelf space in there. Perhaps Rob will let me ditch his TV and shelve that wall. There's no way I'll get the bedroom, dining room and kitchen tidied today. I have a dancing lesson, too.

How the hell do I create so much clutter? I suppose Rob helps.

Astrology Schmology

Freewill Astrology said to me: "Isn't it time you expanded the parameters of your favourite game?"

And the answer is no, it bloody is not. I have put a lot of effort into hauling my parameters in to here, and I'm not letting them expand again until I have the mental, emotional and physical energy to cope. *snaps fingers at nose*

Hey, the war is over!

We told you so! We won! Now stop shooting at us!

Wine and dine me, wine and dine
But wait until the drinking time
To tell me now we must not eat
We must not sleep
We must stay...
            ...awake...
                    ... until the night has ended
Until the day is come
Until the cooking's done
Wine and dine me, wine and dine
alone.
