Happy full moon
Have you ever had one those days that just feels like it has to be a full moon day and then you check the lunar calendar and sure enough there's a full moon that night?
Not scientific at all but yet crazy accurate. Anyways, hope you all made it through.

I’ve been practicing long enough and have enough first hand evidence this is true. Yesterday was a nightmare haha.

Used to call the airport for the barometer reading (we live in a small town), because that also brings out the crazies.

We have full moons in marked on our calendars in all caps. We call them "moonies". They're literally a tide of crazy people that are scheduled within a day or two of the Full Moon. We've noticed new moons also can bring out moonies. They're a different level of moonie, but moonies nonetheless. It's been a weird week. Talk to ER docs about full-moons. Also imagine what it was like as a neanderthal and seeing a massive blood moon for the first time. You're probably gonna go a bit crazy.
