MY MAGIC WAND IS BROKEN - BUT MY SPIRITS ARE NOT


Okay - I must confess I am enduring an incredible bout of bad luck?, ill will from evil spirits?, happy drought.... I have a magic wand and believe it to be malfunctioning... for a few months it was working wonderfully - it fixed computers, helped me find my keys, a great new apartment... but NOW.... I can't tell if the wand is making things worse or just a dud.... In the past week I've...

Had my van break down, bike stolen, keys lost, had my valuable spill out of the back of a van while moving (this led to a tragic moment where later in the evening while drunk I came across tattered pages of a kid's book I'm working lying in the gutter near my old house...

IT was like a corny scene from a movie: last page - main character Nate asks dear reader "how do you feel right now?" Tire tracks across his little face... I cried and laughed as I picked up those pages not directly in front of certain College Street death...

I'm bouncing back - as my DEAR DEAR friend Leslie tells me:

Tragedy + Time = Comedy

Look out Catskills - I'm gonna knock em dead!

I'm still standing but just not as tall - trying to figure out if magic wands have warranties and/or refunds....

You know Mercury is retrograde, don't you?

NO I didn't - but I'm willing to buy that ....

Thanks for the info... I did a google search about what such an event leads to and it sounds just about right...

FROM RELIABLE GOOGLED WEBSITE...
What does Mercury affect?
In general, Mercury rules thinking and perception, processing and disseminating information and all means of communication, commerce and transportation. By extension, Mercury rules people who work in these areas, especially people who work with their minds or their wits: writers and orators, commentators and critics, gossips and spin doctors, travellers, tricksters and thieves.

Mercury retrograde gives rise to personal misunderstandings; flawed, disrupted, or delayed communications, negotiations and trade; glitches and breakdowns with phones, computers, cars, buses, and trains. And all of these problems usually arise because some crucial piece of information, or component, has gone astray, or awry.

It is therefore not wise to make important decisions while Mercury is retrograde, since it is very likely that these decisions will be clouded by misinformation, poor communication and careless thinking. Mercury is all about mental clarity and the power of the mind, so when Mercury is retrograde, these intellectual characteristics tend to be less acute than usual, as the critical faculties are dimmed.'

I guess I'll keep the wand and hunker down for a spell until the planets align more to my liking!
