Eerie...

As most of you will know, I'm a bit of a believer in horoscopes. Or at least an avid reader of them.

I think it might be a typical Gemini thing.

Anyway, today (being Thursday at 1.20am... I've stayed up to watch the episode of Glee I started downloading at midnight*), I am going the the funeral of my dad's cousin. Kathleen. Lovely lady. I hadn't seen her in some years, despite residing in the same city as her for almost 18 months. My bad. My big bad.

Anyway. I just checked my horoscope (as I do), before turning off the laptop and going to sleep. This is today's horoscope:

"Family members will bring joy or happiness into your life. You may discover you have spiritual interests in common that bring you closer together. There may, in some cases, be financial opportunities with family members, or gifts of value coming from family members."




"Gifts of value coming from family members."




Eerie.

Why?

Because Kathleen, having never married or having children of her own, has left my brother and I some items of antique furniture (from our paternal grandmother's side of the family) in her will. Some rather valuable items.

Sometimes, a horoscope is just right on the money. Figuratively and literally.

Yep. Eerie.




* Glee tonight. Loved it. Covers of Mellencamp (well, when he was John Cougar), Rick Springfield, Sammy Davis Jnr and Ethel Merman. How could you not love it?!
