Today's thought

Actually, it's my horoscope:

Today's New Moon falls in your 11th House of Long-Term Goals, luring you to think about the distant future instead of the next few days. But instead of kicking back and slipping into a series of daydreams, it's best to take the bull by the horns and methodically build your ideal fantasy one concrete thought at a time. Planning is very useful now as long as you are willing to follow through with the work later on.

Since I'm on vacation until January 5th, now is an especially good time for me to do some planning. In between my mad social whirl, of course. I went to a long "hang out around some munchies" party on Christmas day, and yesterday I went on a hike with Wilderness Women in the morning and attended Kung Pau Kosher Comedy in the evening. Today I get to have acupuncture and do a little shopping and my laundry.

As for planning, I have some questions to resolve about my Times Mirror pension, which is being held by the Tribune, which has just declared bankruptcy. And eventually Jim's old flat will be ready for occupancy, and I'll have to finally decide whether to move downstairs. And then decide when to retire, and what to do with myself then, etc. That is to say, "build my ideal fantasy." Off to the drawing board.
