Hi friend,

Everyone's chattering away at the beginning of the week, but you're just going to plug your ears and keep on chugging. You can't hear yourself think with so much commotion. And, as your intuition tells you, the best thing you can do for yourself the first half of the week is to focus and get things done. Maybe make social plans on Wednesday or Thursday evening. On Friday, work is going to be unusually tough. Make an effort not to take anything personally and you'll be okay. This weekend will be full of people making all kinds of demands. Sheesh! Be polite, but don't give up anything you don't want to.
