So what was going on yesterday?

Everywhere I went people were fighting - including me. My husband and I had a huge fight about money and our sick cat in the morning. I got in a screaming fight with a 71 year old woman on the bus on the way home. I actually told her to fuck off and called her an outrageous bitch - which she was - seriously, I don't usually yell at anyone, let alone 71 year old ladies on the bus. And everywhere in between I saw people fighting and yelling at each other.

Monday was my flare day; everyone around me seemed ready to implode. I wanted to run away.

I've seen many others say they experienced the same thing yesterday, so I'm blaming the solar flare(s).

this will give you time to recalibrate your binoculars and get ready to go again later.
No biggie, but, when it stations (stops) it can "cause" excess irritation.

another pooped on the carpet, and one of the four peed on the carpet. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats.

Today one of the cats hawked up a hairball on my bedspread.

Perhaps the universe is trying to send me a message of some sort.;

Quark and Rigby sigh.
My couch pillows have covers Thank god! LOL!
And I tryied cleaning the house and washing all the pillow covers and they kept peeing on them! seriously for four days it was like playing Wack a mole. Find one pillow wash it and they would pee on the other pillow. I finally lost it and paddled some pug butt!
Then I gave up on having a clean house and caught up on all the cable T.V series I have been missing. I feel much better now.


My cat Church however did pee on the dog food vats yesterday.....But you can't really swat a cat on the behind.sigh. They are all faster,stronger,smarter then Me and I'm out numbered.

If your critters are peeing in naughty places, they might be trying to tell you that their bladders hurt. In other words, they might have bladder infections.

A veterinarian told me to try giving the affected cat or dog a tablespoon of plain lowfat yogurt a couple of times a day for several days. This can help clear up a mild bladder problem.

I've been doing this for years, and it works like a charm.

My dogs and cats adore yogurt, but if yours resist, try putting some on the paws and they will lick it off.

Are you using something with enzymes to wash the pillows? I use Oxy-clean because it breaks down the faint urine smell, which can become an attractant for the animal.

One more thing. Once in a while one of the cats will pee in a bad place to register a complaint. Usually this happens when we go away for the weekend and leave our adult daughter in charge. I've been laying a flannel-backed vinyl tablecloth over our bed before we go away, to discourage the cat complaints.

Yes, I know, some astrologers think 3rd house = small animals, 6th house = large animals, but in my experiences, house pets and problems with same fall under Virgo's reign. Mars Rx in that sign will probably augur in animal health issues.

Honestly, I'm amazed I got through the day without killing myself or someone else, so I'm going to go ahead and forgive myself for one incident of uncharacteristic name-calling to someone who was extremely, extremely mean to me without provocation.

It feels awesomely, supremely, ugly bad to fight with your twin flame.
Do! Not! Like!

But it does help a bit to know we weren't alone in our misery.
