I'm still waking up really early and still thinking about work stuff, even though i left!
Someone told me a long time back that the worst thing for your body is to go from full on work days with all the associated stresses and pressures (and rewards) to ... nothing. its a massive body-shock. I have a lot planned to do for just this reason... I'm currently building a kitchen, then I'm building a walk-in closet, i will be helping the builder with the car port, sorting out the pool, doing the garden etc etc etc.
lol more than when i was working full time, but its work at my face without unnecessary pressure.
