Rob, as per usual, is more on-task. Except that he, too, is a few days late.

"Dear Dr Brezsny: I need someone to rescue me! My therapist fell asleep during our last session! Even my mother won't return my calls! And the man I love just told me he's not emotionally attached to me and is planning to marry a woman he's known for six weeks! I'm smoking too much and drinking every night and crying myself to sleep. I'm afraid I'll end up as a middle-aged cat lady wearing a housecoat and sponge rollers in my hair, drinking gin straight out of the bottle! I need some bright, wise soul to restore me to health and wholeness and hope! -Lamed Lioness." Dear Lioness: According to my reading of the astrological omens, there's a special person who'll soon be in a perfect position to rescue you. That person is you yourself! The same thing's true about a majority of your fellow Leos: They're on the verge of becoming their own saviors. Any minute now, you'll all know exactly how to convert your breakdowns into breakthroughs.

Well, all of my ex-boyfriends, actually.
Come on, I've heard about your ex-boyfriends... Let's consider the source of the information, and then once considered let's ignore it as not a good source.

Besides, I'm closer to being a middle-aged cat lady than you are...

In the interest of full disclosure, the entire sample of ex-boyfriends is not a large one, in fact, N=2. I don't do a lot of the dating thing.

And while one of them is certainly not a great source for balanced perceptions about the world, the other probably is. Davin used to tell me that I was inevitably going to be a cat lady because I wouldn't ever be able to put up with anyone long enough to marry them. This is likely to be true. It certainly has been true thus far.

I was hoping that my current arrangement might allow me to circumvent this tendency, though. More data is necessary.
