Dilemma

So...I have this little 'dilemma'..well it's not really a dilemma..more a 'what should I do?' moment...
My work contract comes to an end in December; i've been working for a charity for nearly 3 years now and it's been one of the most challenging and enjoyable jobs I've had. So as the ol' saying goes, 'all good things come to an end' or something like that...I now find myself in the position of starting 2010 sans boulot...I've come across lots of really great jobs, and to tell you the truth I really want to apply for them but then I think of the following:
1. I have sooooooooo much work to finish off before December and if I don't, no one else will
2. I want a break once my contract does finish
3. I want to try doing something completely different

However, not having a job will mean:
1. Being bored ( I know what I'm like)
2. One less income ...OUCH! No more impulsive buys
3. Me turning into a couch potato...hmmmmmmmmmmm...

I'm trying to just go with the flow and see where Allah takes me..kismet, fate, destiny, whatever you call it..I hope it leads some place inspiring...
