2 Days after my resignation

I woke up about 6am again even though it is the weekend. The cats rose also and joined me. Hubby kept sleeping – this is his luxury sleep in, he has to go to work later in the day. This morning I created a new spreadsheet which now accumulates each category of spending on a yearly basis so that I can also see how our annual spending is going, not just our weekly and monthly spending. There are a few categories that seriously need to get reduced if we are to slow our spending down to cope with my resignation- will have to have ‘that chat’ with hubby when he is in a good mood. Watched the week’s round up of Business Review – how crazy is it that the Christchurch earthquake can cause so much havoc in people’s lives but will end up improving NZ’s GDP. The way we measure ‘wealth’ is seriously screwed. Spent the rest of the day cleaning with white vinegar as a few girlfriends are coming around for drinks before we go out to dinner – haven’t told them yet about resigning. (Can’t really afford to go out to dinner either!) Mother in law dropped around with some onion seedlings and fresh lemons – I traded with lettuces, my porch is absolutely covered with lettuces at the moment, all of them are ready at the same time as they all grew from self-seeding. There will have to be a lot more planting over the next few weeks to help with food. My mum has spare soil – I might take over some of my seeds and seedlings and plant them in the empty spots in her garden.
