Anita Z asked:
I work in a pretty low stressed job (finance/accountant), from 9 to 5 at mid level. I used to work in much more senior roles but realised it was too stresful. I walk to work five days a week as I love the exercise. It takes me an hour and a quarter each way. By the time it comes to Friday evening, I’m exhausted and usually spend Saturday completely relaxing. I don’t have children (I’m in my mid 40s) and wonder how Mothers do it all? I’m in very good health, am almost a vegetarian (just eat some fish) don’t smoke and drink just a glass every few weeks. I’m wondering why I’m so wrecked at the weekends?
You are similar to my wife. She is a teacher, works very long hours and is exhausted in the evening. We decided a few years ago to do different things at the weekend to give her a break. Simple things like gardening, take a boat on the river, take to the hills and have a lunchtime meal. ALWAYS eat out on friday night. The last one is really good as it is our doorway to doing something different.
