I read my horoscope for December on Christmas–I know, I’m slow, but it isn’t something I do every month, so it rarely occurs to me to check. My sign is supposed to have all the planets in alignment for a super fabulous month and the end of the month–from the 27th on–is supposed to be particularly wonderful.
Cool! I thought. And while the month wasn’t what I’d call super fabulous, some nice things had happened and it was only going to get better. I couldn’t wait. I’m still waiting.
Today wasn’t a horrible day–not really. It was just a day filled with minor frustrations. Until this afternoon. First, it started snowing. Not a lot, just enough to really mess up traffic. The wind was icy and strong so I was freezing as I headed out to my car. Of course, I had to dig out the brush and clean off all my car windows and then I let the car warm up and plugged my iPod into the converter so I could play it on the stereo for my drive home. I knew it was going to be a long one and I wanted to listen to another lecture from the Berkeley earthquake class. The adapter wouldn’t work. I fiddled with it even when I was on the freeway.
No, I didn’t have a car accident, thank God, but I managed to cut my index finger on both sides–top and bottom–just above the knuckle. To say it hurt is an understatement. The pain was excruciating. It doesn’t hurt as much right now–more sore than anything else–but typing isn’t all that easy for me. Not good when I need to write. And blog. 
I’ve never been a huge believer in horoscopes–at least not the general kind that aren’t personalized for each person–and after my experience this month, my opinion isn’t changing. :-/ So I might continue to read them now and then for entertainment value, but if I hear again about the super fabulous week I’m supposed to have, I’m going to be extra careful!
To end on a better note, Digital Inspiration picked its Most Useful Web Applications of 2008. I haven’t had a chance to check out any of the sites/apps yet, but I’ve got the entry bookmarked so that I can do that when I have more time (and can move my finger better).
