Solidification of plans.
This morning,
At the fork in the road, we’ve taken a good step, I think.
Very, very close.
Practical: 7/10
Physical: 7/10
Giver: 6/10
You are a XPYG–Expressive Practical Physical Giver. This makes you a Roving Spouse.
You are magnetic, charming, and impossible to resist. You have no problem with approaching the opposite sex — it just comes naturally to you, and the thrill of warming up a stranger is one of your great drives. Still, very few people really know you. You don’t just *feel* misunderstood — you are. You are probably nursing a heartache that you never let on.
You’re calm in a conflict (almost *too* calm — a more emotional partner may wonder why you’re not more engaged) and quick with affection. Fighting makes you uncomfortable, but as you avoid direct conflict your frustrations can manifest in the cold shoulder and passive-aggression, which is no better! Still, you make a loving, doting parent — giving more love than discipline — and your children prefer you.
Like an XSYG, you put so much thought and effort in what you give to your partner that you feel dismissed and unappreciated if you don’t get the same in return. You also give and think so much that you can also talk yourself into cheating — physically or emotionally — and this can lead a cycle of conflict, guilt, conflict-avoidance, chilly atmosphere and then more cheating. But you’ll stay with your partner in the long run from guilt and a desire to please.
You’ve got to open up! You express and give so much of yourself in other ways — don’t be afraid to express what’s bothering you.
I’m only being so hard on you because you remind me of me.

Into the fray
Wedding stuff – the amazing, morphing guest list. Never shall it remain constant.
School stuff – three classes signed up for, one more and I’m full-time. Places to live scoped, outlook good. Still no FAFSA PIN, time to start bugging them.
Work stuff – meh.

Horoscope
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Beginner’s mind” was originally a Zen practice. Many artists and thinkers now use it to stimulate their creativity. To achieve this blessed state, you dispense with all your preconceptions and enter each situation as if you’re seeing it for the first time. “In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities,” wrote Shunryu Suzuki in his book, *Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind,* “but in the expert’s there are few.” As much as I love beginner’s mind, though, I have an even more important assignment for you this week, Taurus: Cultivate a *beginner’s heart.* Approach every encounter with love as if you’re feeling it for the first time.
Bombshell
Pending financial aid and a couple of job opportunities that have made themselves known to me, this is the plan:
Return to MSU in the spring semester, with a full-time load of classes.
That’s right, I’m going to go back to school and finish my degree.
Lookee here!
I got to see the save the date cards, as
I’m getting a lot accomplished today, like yesterday. I’ve got over a third of my checklist checked off, and it even has stuff from past lists on it. Last touches to the novel before I get it edited. *grin*
