Thanks :)
It's been months in the planning/thinking/dreaming stages. I'd love to hear about your ideas, plans, hopes and dreams.

An exciting move! Well done you for identifying the cause and making the scary decisions to change course ( ... )

Thanks :) The parentals took it better than I'd expected - perhaps I have you to thank for that. After you packed up and headed for Europe, my plans must seem far less risky - LoL.
I'm not going to look for any paid work until after Easter - I'm thinking of it as long service leave after 10 years in practice.
thanks too for the link, I'll check it out.

Long service leave! Sounds like a great and fitting plan :) good
Ick with it. I'm still directionless here, but have some paid work to tide me over. Decision time will be around April/May... Interesting times!

Wow! Well done. So glad you're getting out of that job that was draining you so badly. Health and wellbeing is more important than a job. This is going to be such an exciting change. Going from two incomes to one income is always a challenge, but sometimes it's necessary to switch to less money in order to gain happiness.

I'd love to assist with the cabin fever prevention plan. I know what it's like to go from full-time work at an office to being at home and feeling a bit directionless. Especially if most of your friends are still working full-time. I also struggle to get out of the house more often and be social, so we may be able to find some mutually beneficial things to do :)

Thanks :) Every day I am happier with my decision.

Definitely up for social activity - I haven't even seen your new place yet!

Other ideas I've had include walking to my local library to read the papers of a morning, plus going to the gym for classes more regularly - I've been mainly using the cardio machines these past many months.

Now that Mum is living in Auburn full time for a year, I might also start going to Stormhold Monthly Bash again - it's near to their house and I can visit them at the same time...perhaps around dinner time! I haven;t been doing any SCA activities for a very long time, and I might be ready to dip my toe back in.
