It's Another (Manic) Monday

Put parentheses on there because it's like that's not how I really felt about this day. Unlike the past few weeks, I'm sort of smoothly taking this day... like it's just another day... not really that it's special, it's just that I'm looking forward to be able to once again moonlight and earn some dough out of something I'm fond of doing... and that is making my brain work. =p

So, how's my work day gonna fare. Here's how, according to Shine:
Push yourself a bit at the beginning of the week. You know your own challenges best, and you shouldn't let fear of making a mistake hold you back -- there's much to be learned (and gained!). Workplace connections crackle around Wednesday and Thursday. Cement some important relationships, but also make sure anything more than businesslike is appropriate and under control. On Friday and over the weekend, a little reorganization can bring big benefits. Look especially closely at methods or strategies you've been using so long, other options seem crazy. They're not.

For the week, accordingly, it's gonna be like this:
You are poised on the brink of greatness at work (and in most other parts of your life) on the 1st and 2nd. Get ready for a pretty heady ride! Your work life may never be the same, once you've shown everyone at the office what you can do. Wow! Let your oh-so-impressive brain do its work on the 5th and 6th. Your intellectual curiosity just can't be beat! Romance is the ticket on the 9th, 10th and 11th. Your ideas really rock their world on the 15th and 16th! (Here's a hint: For best results, don't get into unnecessary scrapes with your colleagues before you present your stunning ideas). Experiment on the 20th and 21st. After all, that's the secret to truly innovative thinking. Organize on the 25th. Whether it's a business retreat or a new ad campaign or a networking picnic in the park, take advantage of these lazy summer days to bring people together in the great out of doors. Celebrate good news on the 28th and 29th. Spend on the 31st. But don't overspend. Financial health is a key to career success.

And for the year:
Now that Chiron is finally coming out of your work sector this February after an extended seven-year saga of pushing every social insecurity button known to man, your work environment should be considerably less painful. If you've had trouble with co-workers or employees, you'll finally feel like you're getting some thicker skin compliments of Neptune moving out of your work sector between April and August. Use this planetary reprieve to take a more detached attitude towards all of the drama.

The absence of Chiron and Neptune in your work sector facilitates renewed confidence in your talents. You can stop second-guessing your skills and put more energy into furthering your assets. With a major eclipse pattern hitting your career sector in June, you can expect monumental changes to occur in your professional life between June and next January. This is the year for your hard work to pay off. Plus the lessons of compassion and heightened sensitivity you've learned over the past several years will only work to serve you in reading people's subliminal motives and assess who is a true ally and who to avoid at all costs when doing business.

Between the end of January and June, Jupiter comes back to bless your sector of legacy and other people's money. You'll likely be gifted with a considerable karmic jackpot in the form of a donation, gift, inheritance or loan. Do you still have issues receiving? Now is not the time to look any gift horses in the mouth Virgo. You've more than paid your dues with the amount of free help, guidance and other such service and now it's your time to receive and replenish the well.

So help me, God.

Once more hearing the sounds of a nearby school commencing classes. Sigh. 'Hope my husband gets hired in the job he longed. I honestly desire to see him in his teacher's uniform, doing what he loves, being looked up on by people, because I know that's what he truly desired.

My prayers....

A half month more and I'm seven months on the way. My husband would like to change our new baby's nickname... he can't be called similarly to Marky. Great relief for me.

Ten more days and I'm turning 25. Not really thinking about it, though. It's a Thursday, a work day, so I hope my husband allows me to just let that day be a quiet work day. And then, we'll be celebrating on the Sunday following. =)

Thank you, Lord, for the life you gave. =)

By the way, we had a fun time at the big mall yesterday. Got irked by my aching leg, though... perpetually standing really isn't the way to go for pregnant people. ;p But Marky had a grand time. He rode that virtual reality stuff, where he assumes that he's on a car race, and sampled some rides at Storyland. He was so mesmerized with the lights and the noise and the play atmosphere! Me and my husband could only look at each other in content. We wish we could give Marky more of mall times and play times.

As for our forthcoming baby, I think I'm gonna start buying stuff for him this week. Stuff on my list include:
>> One big pack of disposable nappies (preferably in 40s... torn between buying EQ or Pampers)
>> New mittens and socks
>> New pair of shorts (even just 2... he could share with Marky when he's back from the hospital)
>> The essentials (baby oil, 70% alcohol, cotton, Sanitex/feminine wash, adult diapers)
>> One can of infant formula (will buy this during my last trimester)

Will probably start shopping first for the nappies, the baby oil, the alcohol, and the cotton. And then, I'll go look around for the clothes at the shopping mall nearby. Then, come my 8th month, I'll be shopping for things I need, specifically the feminine wash and the adult nappies. I'll try my best to save for the can of milk, so that Daddy won't have to worry about that any more when I return from the hospital with the new baby.

And this, dear Jesus, I pray... please keep my new baby safe, happy, and healthy,
just as You did my dear little Marky.....

God speed, everyone.
