F*ck Off, Mercury (boy, bye)

OK- so we talked about what it actually means for Mercury to be in Retrograde… but now that we’re right at the end of a very HELLISH three weeks of this nonsense, I figured I should just rant it out. Little did I know, when I wrote my Mercury Retrograde post, all cheery & optimistic, that the next 21 days of my life would just be a total fucking mess.

I also know for a fact I am not alone in this as I have seen (shout out to Snapchat & Insta-stories for letting me the ultimate creep on peoples lives) people’s washing machines explode, blenders blow their lids, hard drives crash, etc. etc.

Today, in my world, was pretty much the cherry on top of a real shit storm few weeks. 

I woke up later than I planned, but wanted to get this post live first thing. So… I started writing, picking photos, the whole thing (it’s a long ass process to write a post), but then I needed food & also needed to get ready.

By the time I was done getting all that taken care of, I had to leave to my appointment so I brought my computer with me to work in the car between commitments. I do it all the time, NBD.

I get to my car to realize I left a damn candle in the car & it melted all over all my passport & passport renewal documents. Now, I was going to be late to my appointment cause I had to spend an extra 10 cleaning up candle wax.

I get on the road, make it to my appt, luckily it was with my healer so she helped calm down all my energy… but sadly, it didn’t last long after our meeting

Next stop was Orange Theory & I was early, which means, I would have time to write this post. WHICH I HAVE LITERALLY BEEN TRYING TO DO ALL DAMN DAY… BTW.

Parking was a bitch, but I had 20 minutes to kill which was more than enough time to wrap this up. Grabbed my computer… & it was dead. OF COURSE. I considered throwing my computer into traffic.

So, I sweat it out in OT & went home to take a shower… which at this point was all I wanted to do for like the next 3 hours… sit in a hot shower with water pouring down my face while I sob at all my stupid white girl Mercury retrograde problems.

Oh but no, the crying came far before I made it to the shower.

Long story short… The dog pissed on the floor, I slipped in it, & slammed my foot into the sharpest corner of the most dangerous table ever.

The flood gates opened & didn’t stop for a while. I sobbed like a little bitch for a solid 10 minutes & it felt SO GOOD.

Holy shit, why does it feel so good to cry sometimes?!?! When in doubt, just fucking cry it out. Boom & we’re back!!!! I got out that much needed nasty energy, Mercury will be back in it’s rightful place tomorrow, my toe will be saved, & I FINALLY AM PRESSING PUBLISH ON THIS GOD DAMN POST.

Hallelujah & sorry for all the profanity, but ya know… MERCURY brings out the worst in us.

P.S. the only good thing that happened during this tough time was the arrival of this pink sweater I am rocking- swear to all of you, it is the most buttery soft amazingly slouchy garment to ever touch my skin. Not even sure how it’s possible for something to be this soft. Shop shop shop it below & thanks for listening ;).
