  • Re: Wifey hasn't noticed

    Speaking of dialect, is it just me, or is anyone else picturing a coverall skirt when they hear the word jumper? I don't think that's what's meant here, but that's what it meant when I was a kid in Michigan... Then I did a search and mostly what appeared was pictures of sweaters, which makes more sense.

  • telyni's MAP

    Intro/triage here.

    This is a condensed version of my MAP. I wrote comments for every single one of the individual items in the six areas, so I have way more material than I'm going to post. First I'll summarize where I'm at in each of the six areas, then list the red/yellow/green items I need to work on with how I need to improve, then list the action items I've got so far, split by daily items, one-time short-term actions (to do in the next month or so), and longer-term goals. I'll expand individual items later as needed.

    1. Physicality and Health
    There's room for improvement here, but mostly to turn up the intensity and turn on the greens. I'm already at the weight I want to be and I've been doing some exercise, so that won't be red for long. I just need to step it up a notch and add strength training to get more toned, so I've set a daily goal here. I also need to restart the supplements I had been taking. It's just a matter of remembering to take them every day.

    2. Money and Materials
    We're in good shape financially, with no debt other than the mortgage we're paying down well. We have some habits of buying too much in bulk or because it's cheap rather than because we actually need it, and there are a few things we need to fix around the house. For one thing, he agreed to get a new kitchen sink very soon because of how long I've been talking about how our current one is terrible and needs replacing (stained, leaky faucet, etc). The big energy drain here is the way we don't deal with clutter. I have trouble because a lot of things aren't just mine, so I can't unilaterally make the decision on what to do with it.

    3. Displaying High Value
    I mainly have to stop downplaying my strengths quite so much and avoid getting too annoyed over stupid little things (PMS doesn't help with this!). I'm getting lots of parenting practice with the little one. And I need to kick up my wardrobe and femininity a notch. I've never been much interested in typically feminine things like makeup and fashion, and I'm still not, especially when it comes to putting chemicals on my body. Fortunately, my husband prefers me to look natural. That doesn't mean I can't use a touch of those things to improve my look a bit, though.

    4. Relationship Comfort
    The main things here will be to stay at a higher energy level and avoid being lazy about things, and focus on doing interesting or useful things rather than hanging out on the computer so much. My husband seems pretty content with the relationship, on the whole, so I just need to be more proactive about doing things. This may actually destabilize his comfort levels for awhile.

    5. Personality and Preferences
    I have a quirky personality and plenty of interests. I'm INTJ and enneagram type 5w4. My Romans 12 gift is teaching. I'm an introverted seeker of truth and knowledge who loves to share that knowledge with others. I just tend to enjoy my interests passively through reading or gaming, so I need to make sure I'm getting actual downtime when I need it. If I reduce computer time in favor of projects or actual relaxation in accordance with the previous section, I should be fine here. I will also work on completing tasks rather than letting them sit around tying up mental energy. I can be kind of scatterbrained if I don't make a plan and follow up.

    6. High-Energy Sex
    This will be the hardest area. I've never faked an O, but I've never had one either, so I wouldn't know how to fake if I wanted to. I think my husband has more interest in sex than I do in general (and certainly enjoys it more), but he doesn't communicate specific wants to me, and doesn't do much to trigger responsive desire in me. Aside from trying things and continuing to work on finding my O, I guess I can't do too much here until I make more progress on the other areas of the MAP.

    There's a real Japanese dish called oyakodon that's basically chicken and egg over rice. "Oya" is mother, "ko" is child, so it literally means "mother and child bowl".

    @try_red_pill Maybe mowing while wearing a weighted backpack. I think putting weight on the mower would just reduce fuel efficiency and/or burn out the motor.
