Sometimes it happens that way. Everything at the same time. It will ease eventually. Good luck with the interviewIf you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

Thanks DIA - much appreciated as I want all the luck I can get with this!
You are absolutely right - the end of last year was a kind of fallow time with little going on, and now things are moving, but the pace will change again. Also, I was just saying to a friend that I'm finally realising it's not the number of things you have going on, but whether you enjoy them or stress over them that makes the difference. I officially decided I don't care about a couple of the work related bits, they are much lower priority than my personal goals and so even though I'm not doing those things as well as I could - that's absolutely right.
As we said, if it doesn't support my real goals it doesn't get any* of my time

Now you're exaggerating. I can see ready meals on the shelf and exactly what's there through the plastic just by shifting the outer layer. I don't necessarily want dating profile photos without outer layers...Debt free May 2016... DFW#2 in progress
