I wrote a little while back that this self-enforced dry spell has left me utterly underwhelmed: not only do I miss my red wine, but I haven't felt any net improvement in myself.
Well, maybe I am starting to notice a difference in the last couple of days. I won't say I feel any better physically -- quite the opposite if anything, and there's the lack of energy and motivation -- but I am feeling a little happier, a little more relaxed. Big problems don't seem quite so big. I've melllowed out slightly, tuned out perhaps.
OK, I'm also on holidays which could well explain all of that.
So, we'll see. Next week it's back to work, back to school and child care. Nat is starting a new job, which means an extra day in care for the kids too. And the whole routine on those days is stress and effort all the way. I'm interested to see how I'll react.
