So, I'm not a complete believer in astrology, but I often find that I can draw relevant conclusions about my life from the things it says. For example, this article: The Full Moon And Lunar Eclipse In Capricorn Mean Serious Business.
For the last couplefew weeks, I've been edging closer to dropping alcohol from my life again, as I've been making progress with the new lifting routine, but drinking seems to be holding me back. Also, I can't handle more than 3-4 beers anymore without getting a hangover, so that tells me my body can't handle it.
Anyway, the full moon/eclipse is on the 16th of this month, and I've got maybe 5 more 'beers' in the growler I had filled this weekend. I'm making the decision to not buy any more alcohol, and when this jug is gone, I won't have any more for a while. How long? Not sure, but I think maybe 2-3 months. Depending on how I feel, and the lifting progress, I may extend that. Also, depending on my depression, I may cut it short. I hope not, as I seem to have been doing fairly well in the last several months, but who knows.
As an aside, Bo was in town with her husband this week from Connecticut & I got to hang out with her Saturday night. Was good to catch up, and it turns out she's trying to move back here, so I may eventually have a friend for social outings (although social outings for her tend to be centered around drinks. She actually works for a distributor, so I guess it makes sense!?). Anyway, I'd brought up how I hadn't heard from Viv during the holiday week, and she asked me if Viv had an iPhone, because mine is an android and apparently, it's well-known that messages have a tendency to disappear when being sent between the two platforms.
I did text Viv yesterday to see if she wanted to hang out around the firepit, and she was all "OMG Ur alive!", and I was really confused. She said she never heard from me & was disappointed. I told her I messaged twice, once on Tues, once on Wed, but got no reply, but she said she never received them. Anyway, I'm wondering if it was the platform issue that caused it. Either way, I guess we're going to try to figure out another time to hang, when she's free & her kid is being watched, etc...
Also, I had tried again with my dating profiles a couple weeks ago. I got up the nerve to write to a few people; one never replied, one immediately asked for my number to start texting (the way it was worded felt very suspicious), and one actually blocked me for doing nothing more than expressing my interest & asking if it might be mutual. (I know she blocked me because I have an anonymous profile on the same platform & she was still visible there.) I just don't understand why she couldn't have just replied "sorry, not interested" & left it at that, rather than blocking me!? I mean, this has happened to me on more than a couplefew occasions! Anyway, I think I'm finally realizing that dating platforms are not the way I'm going to meet someone. Of course, I've no idea how else I might, but I really do think that I need to give up on the online method.
