Charm and Sex Appeal

I read my horoscope in the newspaper every day. I’m amused when there is some congruence with the reality of my life. But I’m even more amused at the incongruities.

Take the last few days, for example. On Saturday, horoscope writer Jeraldine Saunders told me, “Your need to indulge in sensual animal pleasures and expensive playthings can be a focus point but might be a point of contention, too.”

Somehow sensual animal pleasures and expensive playthings don’t seem to fit my current lifestyle, living, as I am, among nursing home patients and others with dementia. My husband who is far away and slaves away to support me should be relieved.

Then, today, Jeraldine told me, “Charm and sex appeal are your calling cards today, and you may even be a bit embarrassed by the stir you create. Beneath that, however, you offer solid friendship and loyalty.” So far (but the day’s not over), none of the nursing home residents has seemed to notice my charm and sex appeal. But if anyone did, I guess I would be embarrassed.

Guess I’d better behave myself.
