I had a blue day today. Didn’t get much sleep due to the howling wind the night before and while I was lying there I started thinking about work which got me even more wound up until I couldn’t sleep at all. It didn’t make for a great start to the day! It’s hard being at work at the moment being a middle management boss with severe budget cuts – I encouraged my staff this week to think of our team as a family on a strict household budget trying to make the best of the situation rather than letting the financial situation win over us. It’s what hubby and I have done at home over the last few years. By the time I get home each night I am pretty exhausted by the stressful work situation I am presently in. Hubby was there to pick my spirits up at the end of the day – I had no motivation even to eat but he sorted out dinner and cooked Bolognese mince and nachos. Having staple ingredients in the pantry/freezer is essential for blue times – it means you can make a meal to cheer yourself up without getting tempted by takeaways. Watched a $1 rental DVD (hired during the week when they are cheaper), made a shopping list for the morning and went to bed happy to be facing a weekend and a few days break from work.
