Gemini (May 21 — June 21)
You've got your nose to the grindstone. So much so, that your energy and vitality is being consumed. Raise your head this week and look around. Opportunity is in the air.

Gemini (May 21 — June 21)
It's quite natural that you are anxious about a task of some kind but you must not let it get to you to such an extent that it paralyses your ability to think or to act. Others can panic if they wish but you must stay calm and make the best of a challenging situation. Great things are expected of you.
It's freaky how sometimes they are dead on. I hope they are.

Useless things I want to do
Like I have time or energy but here they are, not necessarily in order of importance or priority:
- move over remainder of Amazon.com wishlist to Amazon.ca wishlist
- catalogue our library of books
- catalogue our library of music (CDs and vinyl)
- organize house (guess that's not so useless)
- organize attic in particular
- move gingles (that would be the guinea pigs to you) to second floor in small bedroom which then necessitates rearranging the bedrooms (and attic)
There you have it.

Dreams
What's with the repeating dreams anyway? All my life I have had dreams that repeat over and over and over again.
There is the I'm back at school and don't know what day it is (my high school had a four day schedule) and can't find my time table not that would help. I'm running around trying to guess which classroom I should be in and hoping I can tell by who is in the class. Oh, and I've missed half the day already..
or
a variation on the above which includes the parts as describes as above: I'm in high school taking the courses I never took in grade 13 such as math (actually it is only ever math) and I'm failing miserably. However, I have already gone to university and obtained a masters degree. The rationale in being back in high school?? Something about taking courses I should have taken then and getting better marks... The weird thing is that my classmates are ones I actually did go to high school with
or
I desperately need to go to the bathroom and every single toilet has an issue. Either the water in it is right up to the edge of the seat so if I sit I'm in the water - or there is no door on the stall or the floor is digusting. Last night I dreamt I was working in a coffee shop and needed to go to the loo and the ones available in the mall were as above so my co-worker takes me across the street (surprisingly which is Yonge Street) into a music store (kind of Long and McQuade's style) and we go down the stairs to the second part of the store and she points to a door which leads down yet another set of stairs to the store's private bathroom. Somehow it's okay to use it. So I go down to discover the toilet is a hole in the ground (complete with a toilet seat).... oh and the other variation on the toilet too full, doesn't have door, floor is disgusting is that I'm naked.
or
I'm chewing bubblegum which I want to spit out and it won't go. So I'm pulling wads and wads and wads of bubblegum with both my hands out of my mouth and its neverending....
There are others but those seem to be the most common....
of course there was the one when I was in my early teens (and no longer living at that house) where I am being chased through our house on Mandarin Crescent by a huge snake. The dream always culminated in my standing on top of the kitchen table surrounded by thousands of snakes (or at least the big giant one that had been chasing me)
I came to a conclusion as to what that dream was about but perhaps I get into that in some other post.....
They are just a kind of mind numbingly mundane stressful dream that when you are in them you can't get out....

Blast from the Past - Always 5 Acting as 1
Wow - finally clips from my all time favourite show when I was in middle school... One of these days I will have to order the DVD's on Amazon...I remember Mike F drawing a picture of the Phoenix as the title page of stories I was writing in Mr. Law's class. God he was a good teacher. I miss him but I don't miss the awkwardness of those days - for awkward I certainly was.
Music totally reminds me of Star Wars - it's definitely got that heroic timbre to it!!
G-Force! Fearless young orphans
Protecting earth's entire galaxy
Always five, acting as one
Dedicated, invincible, inseparable
