Accuracy - a good strong 9

Reserve a little down time this evening to process your thoughts and recover from an emotionally challenging week.

This was an emotionally challenging week. Good news, I decided to leave the job that has been driving me crazy but bad news, I have to tell the coworkers that I feel bad about leaving. Good news, job interview this morning but bad news, I'm recovering from a fever blister from all the stress (if he noticed he was too polite to mention it. Have you seen the new Tide commercial - where the guy is in a job interview and the stain on his shirt keeps talking over him whenever he tries to talk? That's what I felt this fever blister was doing.) Good news, another agent is interested in my book but bad news, well ... asking someone else's opinion always has the risk of being bad news.

Accuracy - A possible 10

Working with someone else can make life more meaningful for you. Flying solo doesn't sound too attractive now, so seek out competent associates who will contribute to your cause. Remember, you don't have to know everything to succeed.

Well, well, well. Queried another agent today who wants to see a proposal. Could this be my competent associate?

Accuracy - 8

Smile, and prepare for a very enthusiastic yes from the person you've been working up the courage to ask a certain favor of.

Ok, so last week I was supposed to have coffee with the Rock Star Mommy but Alicia got called back for the middle school play (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - Alicia plays a reporter) so we rescheduled for today. This morning I emailed her to confirm and her husband broke some ribs and punctured a lung in an icy fall this past weekend! I felt horribly guilty for asking any time from her with a punctured lung in the house.

So I emailed her my number in case she did have some time and the Very Cool Rock Star Mom called me this afternoon and couldn't have been cooler. She was the epitome of a Rock Star Mom! I didn't even have to ask the favor I wanted to ask (the name of her agent) she offered it right to me.

I have been meeting the COOLEST and most GENEROUS people lately!

Sidebar: I put some highlights in my hair to hide the gray and I am totally afraid to dry it because it looks like I have stripper hair.

Pay close attention to your dreams, but wait a few days before revealing them to others.

All the horoscopes I read today were vague and freaky, but I liked this one because it reminded of the strange dream that Alicia told me she had last night.

A new writer friend of mine came over and he had a monkey and Alicia got to play with the monkey. Then she and the monkey ended up cavorting on a beach together.

Not sure why this cracked me up, but I do wish I had a writer friend with a monkey -- imagine the possiblities!

Now, according to my clairvoyant friend Camille, we are everyone in our dreams. So Alicia is...her mother, a male writer, and a monkey.
