Today’s hexagram is 60, Chieh (limitations): regulating options and what you give your attention to lets you put more into your priorities (the key is regulation and not just widespread restriction). This is actually pretty apt, considering all the heavier personal crap that’s been troubling me lately. It’s got some changing lines, so the transformed hexagram is 29, K’an (dangerously deep): a crucial trial, that can be overcome by maintaining integrity; but not as easy as it sounds due to necessary sacrifice of things you depend upon or hold dear. And *that* is even more apt, and basically sums up exactly what I’ve been grappling with lately. And it sucks. But whatever. I’m dealing.
Tonight, Greg’s band, Zardoz, has a show at 506 that I’m very much looking forward to. I even arranged to work a half-day tomorrow so I don’t have to drag my sorry carcass in early after being out late. Unfortunately, the weather forecast is calling for a huge winter storm this weekend, so it’s looking like I won’t be able to make up time on Sunday. And also like I’ll most likely be skipping bellydance classes (although if the weather’s that bad, classes will probably be cancelled). I really don’t want to miss bellydance class. 
On the other hand, it would be kind of nice to hole up in the house, play boardgames, read (I am TEARING through the No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series lately, AND just got an awesome first edition of The Kennel Club Mystery that I’m looking forward to), drink hot chocolate, and be cozy in my fleece footie jimjams. You know, just hibernate for a weekend, basically. Maybe have a little fire in the firepit thingy. (It’s not a firepit, exactly, but also not exactly a fireplace, nor a chiminea. Don’t quite know what to call it.)
Here are a couple videos/tunes I’ve had on repeat lately, that are awesome and cheering/cathartic:
