Mercury Madness

Mercury is in retrograde most of this month, which means everything's going to be all messed up. Have you felt it in your house? We've been double-Mercuried here. It begins with miscommunications and machines breaking down. Both my home phone and my cell phone became in -- or is it un ? -- operational on the same day. I have been loading software into my computer, but my computer is not being all that accepting. My TV broke. I got a new one. It didn't get certain channels at first, but then, magically, it did. I bought a WONDERFUL Kodak digital camera -- old dog, new trick -- and put all of the info that goes with it away VERY CAREFULLY, so carefully that I am yet to find it. Same goes for some medical papers I had held onto for months, put VERY CAREFULLY on my desk two days ago, and they were nowhere to be found yesterday morning when I needed them. My mother and I got lost on our way to Smith Farms for produce, but I don't think that counts because we get lost everytime we go beyond our errand boundaries. I have forgotten every password and user name I have, and in tracking them down, realize I don't have the password and user name I need to get into the 'help me" section.

Please let me know if your July has been upside down. I'll take personal responsibility if it's just me, but I'm blaming that quirky Merc.
