Mystic Vixen

if it ends with a donkey safari– you know we’re all gonna be okay

IMG_2526detail from a piece I just finished
Today, Mercury goes direct and all I can say is THANK THE HOLY ROMAN GODS.

I know, I know– you all think this is hooey and in my head and there’s no such thing as planetary disturbance that can affect us mortals here on the ground and that it’s time I stop calling the 1-800-PSYCHIC hotline.

But here’s how I see it.

You know how on the bottom of the ocean there are plants and things that sway in the water? Little fishies and swimming shelled creatures all happily going about their day in their watery wonderland? And then, out of nowhere a motorboat blasts across overhead and in the turbulent wake the little fishies’ dinner plates are scattered and the swimming shelled creatures are spun around like gyroscopes on speed dial and the kelp gets laid flat, only lifting its head once the wild storm has passed?

I think Mercury retrograde is like that. And I am the kelp. Or, maybe the swimming shelled creature.

All of which to say– these past few weeks were plagued with miscommunications, criss-crosses in paperwork and faulty mechanics (chiefly my coffee pot and camera).

NOTE: I am not even talking about the impending hurricane– nope, that’s for another day.

So– what will feature most strongly in my top ten this week? why LAUGHTER, obvs. No less than three clips of my favorite comedian, Maria Bamford, to kick off the list. Enjoy–
