I love Sunday mornings

I get to have a lay in, I get up, have breakfast and coffee with Katie, casually do zumba for 30 minutes in our lounge... It's pretty awesome.

I submitted the first 3 chapters of my dissertation for feedback on Friday, so until I receive the feedback I am taking a break from it for a few days. I am trying to get all my post and prep  work done over the weekend for the week ahead, leaving me time in the evenings for dissertation and post work. Or going swimming.

I'm trying to ensure that I get occupational balance in these last few months because it has already become stressful with us all feeling that there aren't enough hours in the day. So for me that means ensuring I get time to vent and reflect with the girls (usually on the drive home everyday), spending time catching up with people (by phone or skype), going for a swim, doing an exercise video, going jogging or cooking. I don't want OT and the dissertation to take over my life.

We've been told we need to start applying for jobs soon... Which is a scary thought!! I've joined NHS jobs, and have been looking at local government jobs too. It feels weird as for 3 years all I've wanted to do was just hurry up and be an OT and now I'm soon to no longer be a baby OT it scares me.

On a completely different subject, I made parsnip soup yesterday with the vegetables Suzanne grew in her allotment. It's yummy!!!!
