Think of yourself as an ambassador at the week's outset, as you build alliances and show everyone the very best you can be. Exercise diplomacy. It'll get you further faster than being bull-headed. Wednesday and thursday are banner days in all areas. If you don't have a companion, you may end up with one now! Take in some art and culture this weekend. You're inclined to laze about, but get out and experience the best your locale has to offer. You'll be glad you did.
