sunday

Friday morning I announced my two week notice at my job!
I'm going to take that year off I'm always talking about but never doing. I can't think of a better time than right now!
My hands were shaking when I put my resignation letter in the 3 mail boxes I needed to put them in.....I almost chickened out.................and then throughout the day I had moments of regret.........I've been employed since I was 15. To not work is scary for me. I worry about all of the what ifs! The biggest one being health insurance. My Cobra is good for 18 months. So while I had moments of worry and regret, mostly I feel excited and happy about my decision........
 Soon before mom passed away  I was talking to her about a decision I was wrestling with.........she said life is short, to go for it. So while I was wrestling with the decision to quit for a year, I kept hearing her say "Life is short. Go for it!"
I  worry about boyfriend. I'd like to spend a lot more time with him........forever.......but who knows how much time any of us have......    So
I'm going for it...........one year off......maybe a little longer!
And then Billy you said something a little while back about new experiences.............it struck a cord with me. I've lived a pretty sheltered life...... And I've played it safe most of the time.......well I want new experiences.............we're making a list boyfriend and I......of what we want to see, where we wanna go.......the trip there will be half the fun and filled with unplanned experiences..............unfortunately we have to do chemo and radiation first...............our eyes and minds though will be on our list .........and then finally we will go!
My last day of work is the 13th!

I was summoned for jury duty. Haven't done that before!
I don't have to report until Jan. 5th. We'll see!
