Whatever emerges from your lips on a daily basis is always surprising, but it’s hard to shock those who know and love you. Today’s announcement could come as something of an eyebrow raiser to those who aren’t quite so familiar with you or your own startling style. Keep that in mind and try to be gentle. Just a tad. It wouldn’t hurt to go easy on anyone who’s just now getting to know you. Might make it easier, in fact.

You’re way better off with a plan than winging it right now. Create a schedule for the next few days and stick to it. You’ll need the ammo when dull people come to you with invitations to boring events. Sorry, you have other plans.

Nobody ever really knows what’s going on in that head of yours, and that’s okay. You need that private mental space. But if you’re hiding something from your partner, it’s time to dish. Open up a little more and invite them to a place few have seen.

A quick review of your budget is all it takes to tell you the obvious. But a major overhaul of your spending plan for the season won’t be a wrenching as you fear, if you reassess your strategy now.
