In which Venus is in the 11th house

My ruling planet, Venus, that is. She rules all Librans, and I am triple Libra: my sun sign, my rising sign, and Venus in Libra. (This means that I am a romantic, according to the Elle Decor horoscope page.) Anyway, Venus is in my 11th house — family and friends. Yeah, I’m no astrologer, but I could have told you that.

I’ve made friends with my roommate’s jovial visitors, who brought me a cup of coffee and kindly inquired about my condition without getting overly personal.

I think I get to go home today, and I can’t wait. I miss my cat, my beautiful cat. And my wigs, my cosmetics, my clean white linen and my fancy French cologne. I’ve been here almost a week — it’s time to be moving on.

David the nurse came in to give me my morning check-in, and when I asked about the coumadin, he looked into the depths of his computer and said, “It’s been discontinued.” He didn’t have an explanation. I will still be on blood thinners, but I’m finding significance in the idea that I may no longer have to swallow rat poison.
