Is this how it's gonna be?

Horoscope from Free Will Astrology for Leo, Week of June 19th:

A 6.7 earthquake rippled through the northwestern United States recently. No one felt it, though, because it happened in slow motion, unfolding gradually over a two-month period. Are you ready for the metaphorical equivalent of this temblor? It will subliminally shake your foundations until your birthday. Whether it ultimately relieves or aggravates deep-seated tensions will depend on your attitude. If you regard it with fear and resistance, it will amplify your existing level of stress. But if you vow to enjoy the ride, it will rock your world in the best possible way.

Monday was just plain yucky. So much happening and not happening. Tuesday, was. . . better and yet not really, somehow. Slept in and missed the cleaning extravaganza. Aunt Trisha and cousins Kelsie and Tyler showed up. I haven't seen Kelsie in maybe a year, and Tyler for even longer. We all got settled on the porch, in the smooth heat of what's left of June. Then someone noted that we hadn't seen Don's cat Smokey all day. Don went to look for him, and found him. He was curled up under the bathroom window, looking so peaceful--but not breathing.

Smokey was 18 years old, and had been wasting away rapidly in the last month. He had made friends with the new puppy, and we were feeding rich catfood to him, trying to put weight back on him. But I guess it was just his time to go. Don is acting less upset then i'm betting he actually is. We got the cats when he was two. I don't think it's hit me yet, but I was also expecting it these days.

Grandpa G came over and dropped off the Greentab. He said hi to everyone, but he avoided eye contact with me, quickly left saying he had a meeting to get to. While it saddens me, I'm not going to get upset by it. Or at least, I'm going to *try* not to.

Once again, car-finding isn't near the top ten priority in the Pollack House. Earlier in the week, mom had said we should try to get me a car this week, since I'd go off to Erie on Sunday and when I'd come back everyone but Liz would be out of town and there would be no car to use. Tomorrow is Wednesday, and while I've made lists of possible used cars from the classifieds, I have no loan, and no money. So I'm trying to give up for now, although the car fever is upon me.

The true brightside is that on Sunday I'll get to go up to Erie and stay with Dave's family for awhile. I hope it will be a positive thing, and I won't overstay my welcome or anything like that. I just need out. And I'm SUPER psyched to get to see Dave for awhile.

Super super psyched. I can't express how happy. So hopefully, I can just focus on that and scrreeew whatever happens this week.
