So, a few times in the last week, I have prepped supper early.

One day last week, I just chopped some stuff, no big deal, but it was helpful.

Yesterday, I cooked part of our meal earlier in the day so I could just reheat it later.

And today, I have made the whole meal by 10am and I am just going to assemble and heat it this evening.

This process feels really spacious.

Yesterday, my husband had to run an errand after work and supper needed to be about 30 minutes later than usual.

Since I had the main part of our meal cooked, it made sense to wait until he arrived before assembling everything else.

So, at the end of my work day, I had time to read and have a cup of tea before getting supper ready.

It was only a little bit of time but it felt huge.

And it really helped me separate the parts of my day.

Now I have to figure out how to make that happen more often.
