No cause for alarm or anything, but I think I just might be losing my ever loving mind this morning.
I’ll venture a guess that it’s something to do with Mercury or Venus or Mars in retrograde (whichever of those retrogrades and messes everything up, that’s the one I mean) because sitting at the counter this morning, lapping up coffee and ruminating on the uneasy feeling growing in my gut, I said out loud to the cat, “Something is wrong.”
The cat didn’t answer, which is pretty normal for Sir Hal. He’s not very talkative in the mornings. So I continued with the coffee and some cataloging, sorting out the pieces of my life into mental piles of Messed Up and Not Messed Up. House? Not messed up – the appraisal is all done, just waiting for the final paperwork. Wedding stuff? Not exactly messed up so much as mildly overwhelming. Work? Eh, maybe messed up, but that wasn’t it.Blast!
Lather, rinse, repeat. I went through it all again and still I didn’t locate that thing plaguing my stomach.
It started last night. The Boy was on the couch doing Trig, I was next to him writing thank you notes and suddenly, like a switch was flipped, I just knew something was amiss. The Dork Lord patted my head, reassured me with “honey” and “baby” but there wasn’t a lot he could do. If I were a math problem, he’d have me all sorted out in no time.
If I wasn’t always right about these things (Impending Doom and I are tight), I’d push the feeling aside and go all in on the Mardi Gras festivities. I’m pretty sure we’re closing up shop early today to, you know, boost morale and enhance our work relationships. Happy hour sure beats trust falls.
Hmmmm. I felt this way on Sunday night for no real reason. Maybe it is the planets or the moon or some other crazy hippie sh*&t that I love to belive in.
So happy for you and the house!!!
I call my Impending Doom feelings Generalized Anxiety Disorder and treat it accordingly. My mother calls her premonitions.

Oh, I hate that feeling. I like to know what I’m uneasy about. Perhaps it’s just the fact that you’ve been stressed lately and things have settled and you’re just not used it anymore? I hope.
Try not to sweat it and go out and enjoy tonights festivities! I understand too what you’re feelin’ and hopefully it’s nothing.
I will share that Mercury, the one who creates all the mishaps, miscommunications and such, will be retrograde from March 30th through April 23rd. Be on guard.
HAPPY FAT TUESDAY!
Oh yes.. getting the feeling that “something bad is going to happen”.. I know it all too well. Got it in January and ended up in the ER a week later with a rupturing ovarian cyst! I remember thinking “just please don’t let someone die!” because everything else is usually dealable. Hope it’s nothing too awful! You’ve had enough of that lately!
Maybe it’s just that all your major projects are coming to a wrap (well, excluding work)! Just thinking some positive vibes for you
I’ve felt that way for the past 2 days. Ugh!
I, too, am a cohort of Impending Doom’s…. That’s one thing about ID, though: you’ll know soon enough. Hopefully, it’s nothing serious – Mercury going retrograde is not supposed to be here until the end of March through the 20th or so of April (I had to look!), so it could just be a sense of the absence of something not going well (i.e., things going mostly right).
Where did my comment go? I don’t think it required moderation lol…
Ha! All comments go to moderation, Miss Carrie. It’s nothing personal
Oh I know that lol I just meant it shouldn’t have FAILED moderation.. it was weird, before I posted that comment mine was gone completely and of course as soon as I sent that, mine showed up again! Oh technology!
Oh, love, I know what you mean. I’m feeling that not so fresh feeling, too. Just keep hearing such anxiety-provoking news. Also, I still can’t believe your stuff was snatched. It’s so scary, and definitely deserving of a little white bedtime pill. xo
Its one of two things, commitment overload or fate balance.
Getting married and buying a house are both big commitments and you are doing both at approximately the same time. Typically they are separated by a bit.
I also feel the fate balance unease of “something good has happened to me so something bad must follow”. For me it has become so bad that I feel relief when something bad happens
I think you are due with the fate world, home invasion bought you a lot of good coming your way.
Are you ready for an alternative explanation of your feelings of impending doom? It was 3 days before the Japanese tsunami. I think you were feeling it coming!
In reading your posts since then, nothing catastrophic has happened to you personally (not that you’ve written about, anyway). Massive life changes, yes; aggravations like peeling paint and missing dress fabric, yes; but catastrophe? No.
I’d be interested to know if you had the feelings of catastrophe after the 11th.
Just my two cents!
