Well as of next week I am dropping down from 37.5 hours to 27.5 hours! Mon-Weds 9-5 Thursday finish at 2pm and every Friday off!!!! Hooray!! I’m aware I will lose money but I think the fact I won’t be overcompensating for my stressed out life means it won’t be as big a loss as i think. Being a nurse I can also decide to do flex-hours on an agency later on. I am hoping to spend these extra hours investing more time spent with family and friends, getting chores done ahead of the weekend and achieving my writing goals! I’m sooo excited about this! I feel more in control of my life already and am sure I will be a mucher nicer person to be around, less stressed and more effective in my job.Not to mention a better wife and step-parent!!
