I just started a new job this week, while there is a mercury retrograde, I have been having nothing but mechanical/computer issues trying to train. I am two days behind because of this -- now it could all be just coincidental, but who knows these days. I know I have a lot on my emotional plate right now too and the pressure of learning a new position is very heavy.

As far as my co worker the judge, I am not sure he knew that about me at all, though I was reading some interesting books that he may have noticed (non fiction). The books he suggested that I read were modern westerns - doubt it fits, purely just book recommendations - or maybe to get me off the Forbidden History/Archaeology, etc. type subjects.

I do know my moods have a direct effect on this SLIder phenomenon - and it isn't easily controlled. I do know that when I had intense loving feelings and I was on a hike out at my favorite spot in nature, I saw a bush bloom into flower (yellow) right in front of me. I think those emotions can reach other frequencies and in my situation, I do believe the plant was responding. I had a similar experience in the past years ago.

Hard to talk about this with people I don't really know. I was doubted of these abilities when I was a child by my mother so it is a hard process.
