I accidentally made my coffee too weak. Noooo!! ...maybe I should get a french press. That would be awesome. For now I might just make some stronger coffee.

Ugh, I'm so tired.

Humans consume one-fourth of the world's photosynthetic outpout. Psst: eating lower on the food chain can help with that one. So can recycling your paper, and not having babies.

From the usual Free Will Astrology:

Before I suggest to you what your next assignment should be, read this passage from poet Adrienne Rich. "Whatever is unnamed, undepicted in images, whatever is omitted from biography, censored in collections of letters, whatever is misnamed as something else, made difficult-to-come-by, whatever is buried in the memory by the collapse of meaning under an inadequate or lying language -- this will become not merely unspoken, but unspeakable." What I hope you will do in the coming week, Scorpio, is rescue from obscurity any important thing that is on the verge of becoming unspeakable. Be a retriever of that-which-is-about-to-disappear. Be a rememberer of that-which-is-close-to-being forgotten.

Okay then, here goes: Jarrod and I really did love each other. There were a lot of good things going on in our relationship, and I'll always have a lot of fond memories of things we did and places we went and conversations and laughter and love. It wasn't enough to keep us together, but that doesn't negate any of it. And whether or not some of you liked him, or liked our relationship, please remember that right now is a hard time for both of us.
