So this morning I dragged myself out of bed around 6:30 AM, still half-asleep, you know? First thing I did was grab my coffee – can’t function without it. While sipping, I opened my laptop and pulled up that Virgo horoscope for today, May 6th. Saw the bit about money being “steady but needing careful planning” and health focused on “routine and diet.” Figured I’d actually try following this stuff for once.
Starting with the Health Stuff
Right after breakfast, I dug out my dusty yoga mat from the closet. Did like 15 minutes of stretching. Man, my back cracked so loud – kinda scary but felt weirdly good afterward. Then I stared into my fridge. Horoscope said “mindful eating,” which basically meant skipping the leftover pizza calling my name. Grabbed some sad-looking veggies instead. Whipped up a salad for lunch. Tasted like grass, honestly, but hey, points for trying.
- Morning Stretch: Just basic arms-up, touch toes stuff. Lasted way shorter than planned.
- Lunch Salad: Lettuce, cucumber, leftover chicken tossed in. Zero flavor. Must remember salad dressing next time.
Later, got a massive sugar craving around 3 PM. Usually, I’d smash a chocolate bar. Remembered the horoscope nagging about routine. Drank a glass of water instead. Still wanted chocolate.
Then the Money Part Hit Me
Opened my bank app around noon. My balance was… well, let’s just say “steady” felt optimistic. Horoscope advised “review expenses.” Went through my last week’s spending:
- Coffee Shop Visits: Five times. Why??? I own a coffee maker.
- Impulse Online Buys: One weird kitchen gadget I still haven’t opened.
- Subscription Services: Found two I genuinely forgot existed.
Saw that “careful planning” advice staring back at me. Cancelled the useless subscriptions immediately. Set up a weekly coffee budget in my phone notes – trying for two shops max next week. Also, put that weird gadget box near the door so I might remember to return it tomorrow. Felt sorta productive, I guess.
So How’d It Go?
End of the day: Salad lunch didn’t kill me. Didn’t get the chocolate. Saved like twenty bucks by cancelling stuff. My back feels slightly less rusty. Did the horoscope solve all my problems? Nah. But hey, it pushed me to actually do a few small things I usually avoid. Tomorrow? Maybe I’ll even remember to drink more water.
