For anyone who believes in astrology, you'll know that these cycles are a bitch.
But as this Mercury retrograde cycle comes to an end tomorrow, I can't remember a period where I've felt the effects more.

| I love my car. |
It's not ideal starting a new job under retrograde, and I didn't get it anyway. But I came back with car problems. My car has handled a 2700 kilometre trip among countless drives on country roads and it decides to go half kaput on a single trip in Mercury retrograde. Go figure.
I should also mention it was the first time the trip took LONGER than the Google Maps estimate.
When does THAT ever happen?!
***
A few days later I was off to Sydney - my taxi was late at 5.30am and I went to a nearby rank to be safe. Then my (6.30am) flight was delayed nearly two hours - because of a de-icing issue on a surprisingly unfrosty morning.
Then my friend's flight in from Melbourne was cancelled and she was put on a flight about four hours later.
And then dinner plans that night went awry because of Facebook miscommunications after a couple of people pulled out.
And THEN the same group flying back to Melbourne had their flight cancelled AGAIN and waited for three hours to board.
My point? Not all coincidence.
On a global scale there was the San Francisco plane crash. Also the big Canadian train explosion.
'Nuff said.
Have YOU ever had a bad Mercury retrograde experience?

When you're told that you have some kind of physical affliction, you can either prepare to suffer or prepare to heal.

The past is over for all of us. The future is promised to none of us. All we get is this one. That's all we get.
St Mark said, "With God, all things are possible." Now what does that leave out?
Everyone deserves our love, and until we start thinking that way, we're always going to have us versus them thinking.
You are in a partnership with all other human beings, not a contest to be judged better than some and worse than others.
What started as a horrible day finding out about the Boston bombings has turned into a great night with a good feed and some very welcome news which I will perhaps divulge at a later date.
I feel like good things are happening right now. And I know it's not just a coincidence.
The April 10 new moon is said to have one of the most powerful planetary combinations, where the next four weeks are going to be dynamic for most of us. Now, I don't rely on astrology to tell me when to cut my hair or anything, but I believe the moon and stars influence things to some degree.
I found this passage online from an astrologer named Kelly Rosano:
The New Moon is action packed. Uranus, Sun, Moon, Mars and Venus are in Aries. The fire power of this planetary combination is unstoppable. We put our passion, heart and mind into our dreams, desires and goals.
Success will be experienced by those who do not allow their fear to eclipse them…
This energy is positive, uplifting and fearless. The universe wants us to leave the past behind. We are to give birth to the new life, the new paradigm and the New Earth. This is a wonderful energy to start a new life.
Now doesn't that sound inspiring?

Finding a place to live is already proving difficult when no-one thinks its important to immediately reply to you. That goes for ordering a simple furniture package too. Which I won't even get all of straight away. A month without couches if I stick with the colour I really want - fun!
Guess there's not much I can do right now. It's times like these that I find myself believing in astrology a bit more and how much Mercury retrograde can affect you (four times a year communications and contracts can be foggy and create hassle). Apparently it finishes by the week's end - thank goodness. Communication with pretty much everyone at some point since returning to Adelaide has not been the easiest and I can only pin this on it. Or just that no-one wants to talk to me, but I'd rather steer away from that theory.
To better things. Returning to Fresh has been great fun and I'll miss it all over again after the next few weeks. Work-wise, found some $2 bargains at Vinnies during a surprise sale - silky black maxi skirt, Target tweed blazer and Country Road black blazer. Yes, Country Road. For $2. WIN. This was after finding other bargains in Sportsgirl.
Then today. I begun what I'm calling The Ultimate Pack. Best to start with clothes before shoes and accessories of course (not least because I'll slowly die trying to accept the fact I'll be leaving three quarters of my shoe collection behind) - and five hours later I feel like I've accomplished something. Whether it'll all fit in two suitcases with shoes etc. is to be determined. But it was so much fun re-exploring my entire wardrobe. Felt like such a GIRL mixing up new outfits. Dubbo won't know what hit it!
Something different:
