Attention Libras: We Will Catch Flies

This year, astrologically, Libra’s are supposed to be embracing our duality, our light and our shadow sides, recognizing that both sides make us whole.

I’d rather catch flies with honey but, if you make me, I’ll hollow out your carcass — either way, I’m catching flies.

Recognizing, at this point, that astrology isn’t as much a system of magical prediction as it is a sort of recognition that we’re impacted by the push and pull of celestial bodies as our rocks traverse around the sun. At first, I was resistant. As I said, I’d rather be sticky sweet.

However, the objective is to ‘catch flies’.
The objective, at least for me right now, is to be happy and have a satisfying, fulfilling life.

We’re headed into March at this point.
Yes, the boyfriend and I are still together.
Yes, through the course of life events, there have been some changes in perspective for him.
Functionally, no, we’re no further along toward the goal then we were at this point last year.
Yes, my approach has changed.

Functionally, as a couple, we’re exactly where we were this time last year. It’s kind of ridiculous actually. Some perspectives have changed, but nothing has changed as far as us moving forward so, we’re just not and, to be honest, I’m bored.

I haven’t been writing much because I don’t have much to write about. I get up, take my younger two children to school, take my eldest to work, play phone games in between, get my middle son from school, wait for my youngest to get home on the bus, get ready to go to work, go to work, go to the boyfriend’s and watch TV until I’m ready to fall asleep.
Saturday, I watch a lot of TV and play phone games. Sunday, the kids join me at the boyfriend’s.

Rince, lather, repeat.

I’m bored. Life is boring. My life is currently something that I want to take a vacation from so, I’m planning a vacation for myself.
