Wasted Weekend

I am feeling a bit better; sometimes I just get overwhelmed by life. I get angry and frustrated when it seems like everything always has to be so hard. I needed to get a lot of work done this weekend that didn't get done. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day for me and I can make some progress.

Amber and Chris seemed to have a good weekend, so I am really happy for them. I think they are a good couple - they will both just have to decide if they are ready for a commitment sometime in the future. I think their personalities mesh well, and they look good together too. They are both good people individually. I wish them the best.

Mike and I get along really well and have a lot in common. I think he is used to being alone most of the time and internalizes most of his feelings while I am used to being in a close relationship and sharing everything. Other than that, there aren't any big struggles. We have both been hurt in the past and are both scared, so we are taking things slowly. He knows I am still dealing with feelings I have for Mark. I know he isn't going to be able to open up to me all at once. We have time; there is hope.

Some excerpts from our romantic horoscopes:

Libra and Pisces make great friends as well as lovers. These two Signs are very compatible, making for a truly smooth-sailing love affair. They understand one another: Both can be indecisive and tend to work in multiple directions at once. Libra abhors conflict and will do almost anything to avoid it, and Pisces possesses great empathy and can forgive out of understanding for their partner's position. Libra is ruled by Venus (Love) and Pisces is ruled by Jupiter (Luck) and Neptune (Illusions). Under Jupiter and Neptune's rule, Pisces is intensely meditative, philosophical and internal. Under Venus's influence, Libra is in love with love. Libra is the Sign of Partnership and always is more comfortable when in an intimate love affair. These two Signs together combine their heads and their hearts to solve all problems -- a winning combination. The best decisions are made with both the emotions and the intellect; this relationship tends to be extremely flexible and progressive. Their only real trouble may result from their tendency to slow down to the point of stopping when they get together.

Not that I believe in horoscopes, but it is interesting to read. I compared with my horoscope compatibility with Mark, and both were pretty dead on:

Aries and Libra are directly opposite one another in the Zodiac -- 180 degrees apart. Each Sign possesses qualities that the other lacks; combined with Libra's natural yen for harmony, this can be a relationship that enjoys great balance. Aries is the Sign of Self while Libra is the Sign of Partnership, and the differences continue: Aries is impulsive, excitable and ready to jump right into something new and exciting, while Libra is indecisive, peace-loving and prefers a calm, smooth approach. These two Signs share the great sexual attraction common to all Signs opposite in polarity. At the same time, though this pair's connection is amazing when it's good, it can be extremely challenging when it's bad. Aries is ruled by the Planet Mars and Libra is ruled by the Planet Venus. This is a great match, as these are the Planets of Passion and Love, respectively. Venus and Mars go well together as they're the two sides of the love relationship coin. Venus is about the beauty of romance while Mars is about the passion of romance. Both Signs want to be in charge, but Aries uses force and sometimes intimidation to get what they want while Libra uses charm and sometimes manipulation. Compromise is essential to this relationship's health. Diplomatic Libra has a much easier time with compromise than does Aries, who strongly dislikes yielding to another person, viewing it as submission. Libra may have to give in more often to Aries's wishes in order to keep the peace that they so cherish.
