By the third week of going back to work, Sharon was becoming well and truly absorbed back into the rat race, in the nicest possible way.<\/p>\n
She walked into the waiting room at the Station on the day of the T-square, and Marjorie (an 80 year old who every day swam, then commuted to London to do half a day\u2019s work) said \u201cHave you noticed how everybody is rushing?\u201d<\/p>\n
Sharon had known Marjorie for years before she retired, and always marveled at her regime.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes I have\u201d Sharon replied.<\/p>\n
Marjorie elaborated: \u201cI have been forcefully brushed past by commuters and nearly knocked over by schoolchildren in their rush to get to work and school\u201d<\/p>\n
Sharon sympathized \u201cMmm\u2026hmm\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOnly I have noticed you don\u2019t rush\u201d Marjorie went on.<\/p>\n
Sharon laughed, \u201cI am the slowest person I know\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cReally?!\u201d said Marjorie<\/p>\n
\u201cOh yes, people have been known to cross the road to avoid walking with me, and my hubby William always walks 10 paces ahead!\u201d<\/p>\n
It seems that in the real world everything needs to be done immediately, mused Sharon.\u00a0 This anxiety had manifested for her as a knot in the stomach consisting of this collective angst.\u00a0 With her Taurean Ascendant, it was even difficult for the Uranus-Pluto square to shift the immovable object, and she was looking forward to three days of returning to her own pace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
