One of the problems is that these days, I'm too exhausted to write in the evenings.
The other problem is the garden. I get de-stressed by taking a walk round the garden after work and seeing what's happening. It's still dark when I get home just now, so this method of relaxing is as yet denied me.
This may be part of the problem. I just see my whole life sliding by as work, work, work. Don't get me wrong: I love my work, but... When I took on this job, I deliberately went for one that was under-achieving so that I'd get a life. I'm now working at an appropriate level, with no financial recompense for the added stress, and my work-life balance is suffering. The good news is that there's a good chance this is fairly short-term...
