I love Margaret Attwood's books. She's a very charismatic lady to listen to speaking as well if you ever get the chance to go to one of her book events. I heard her speak recently about Hagseed, which was brilliant, and actually pretty funny and lighthearted in places for her. I laughed out loud quite a lot through that one. Handmaid tale is a dark old journey!
Re the plan, if yiu intend on eating later when you're relaxing, could I suggest a small snack to tide you over. Anything that you can do to dispel those HALT triggers in fact. Hungry-Angry-Lonely-Tired. They can spell disaster on an evening in. X
