What do you need to be someone like?
Someone that looks a little more local, and speaks the language. It isn't very good here at the moment.
Please take minimum 1-2 days of doing things that you want to do FOR YOURSELF/keep putting off because everything and everyone else is more important.
I will schedule those things into my days, but the first few days I plan to "potter around" like my granddad did in old age :)
With the kids being older and doing their own thing more I'd be cramming so much project work and may actually get more than this one block I'm working on done then.
Are you enjoying the time to work on projects more?
Ahh. I get half of that.
Pottering around is good :D
I don't actually have time to work on projects more, as while the kids don't need me for everything now I'm still the primary mode of transport while licenses are being worked on (that's a whole other pile of grey hairs). Plus work plus volunteering plus the usual house nonsense.
