Not everyone knows how to give credit where credit is due, so if you feel you aren’t being as respected as you should be, speak up. You might be doing the other person a service by reminding them that you’re part of things too. Certain people need to be made aware of the fact that you’re a force to be reckoned with. If you aren’t given what you deserve, you need to ask for it. Don’t worry that people will think you’re being too egotistical. They’ll be impressed.

If you have a journal, write in it now. If you don’t, treat yourself to the prettiest notebook you can find and discover how grounding writing can be. It’s a great time for introspection.

Is a revolution necessary, or might a little diplomatic work actually accomplish the same ends and with much less upheaval? Figure out a way to tackle this with your partner so everybody benefits.

If you’re chomping at the bit, relief is in sight. Come your next opportunity, you’ll be back to doing what comes naturally — making and saving. Until then, enjoy taking it easy.
