Conflicts with parents were more squirmy and squabbly than intense, fortunately (I was visiting and am making a point of doing so, since my mother has cancer and I’d like to err on the side of spending too much time with her). More like “Argh! You talk to me like I’m an idiot who lives under a rock! I live in the boonies but HELLOOOO, we have internet and radio here.” But this time I said it out loud and to the point, and it didn’t lead to a big fight over nothing this time.

So, um, I guess I’m getting a lot of emotional work done these days. But it doesn’t feel like work for some reason. This resonates with what Eric was saying about emotional laziness in today’s post on Virgo moon trine Cap Pluto. Maybe not laziness in the sense of denial, but little effort? I had an algebra teacher who used to exhort us to “Be Lazy!” in the sense of creating fewer steps in our problems.
