It's now two months since I officially finished my main jobs (tho there was still some finishing off after that). I am just beginning to feel myself winding down. I even read a a book for 20 mins today. Hopefully this means that when I resume work (and I have since started a new very part time one, but I mean a mortgage paying job) I shall be refreshed and ready for the new start, rather than the worn out heap I was a few weeks back.
There's an interview on Friday that I'm excited about. If I am successful it would mean big changes. But change is doable :-) In the meantime I feel I've honed my thrifty ways. I have developed a range of really cheap puddings (tho 14p packet custard probably isn't massively nutritious). The rice pudding I enjoyed at the start of the year has kick started a revival of quick (oven top not in an oven) rice puds of all flavours and can be made with cheap rice rather than anything posh :-) And my soup options have extended too, onion soup is now my new favourite and again a lovely frugal choice.
Time for daily shopping means I can plan meals around whatever is reduced. 10p ciabatta? Yes please!
Staying in the moment isn't always easy, there's a pull to worry about the future. But when I get to be fully in the now it's rather lovely :-)
