It's not golden, it's wierd and it's the future

I'm sitting here feeling just an ickle lost. The visitors have gone, the daughter is off enjoying herself and I am left rattling around the flat without a project to focus on.

Now don't get me wrong, I could be working - there is always some kind of prep to be getting done, but at the moment I am trying to set clear boundaries for myself and actually take a break.

At the moment it's just temporary, Third Party will be back on Monday and the silence will be broken but I know that, potentially, this is my future. I have to say it has freaked me slightly and made me realise I need to get a hobby, a wider set of interests; a life.

However, I am also aware of the fact that when September comes life will be back to it's manic self with piles of marking, a diary full of church "stuff" I could be helping out with and me wondering how to reduce some of "it". I will be back to being mum full-time and life will be just as hectic.

So in the mist of it all I am left wondering how does one prepare for the future without becoming overloaded in the now? Ideas on a postcard would be greatfully recieved.
