I gave my notice. 1 month. It's been exhausting, draining, scary. I have been at my current job 16 years. Now that I actually got myself out of the wondering place and into the decision space, I have to start dreaming and visioning of the future. Something I don't do much. I have been stingy with dreams.
List of Drama:
I am going to have to pull money out of retirement to move. That is really frightening, but the only way. If I have a good saving plan I should be okay.
I also really need to find a tax god(dess) who can help me deal with my irs situation. Remember when I had my account levied? Arrgh, Anyone know a really kind tax lawyer who wants to help a singlish mama, not get fed to the machine? It is just really hard having no safety net, etc. I envy people with kind parents.
The Company that shall remain nameless keeps changing my start date and because I have a signed offer letter, this last go around, I put up a small amount of fuss. They wanted to extend my date 2 weeks, and that gives me over 1 month with no income, so that won't work.
We went to the bay area last week and didn't find an apartment. I am going again the week of 6/16-6/18. It is really intense.
I got through the anniversary of my Mom's death. It seems hard to imagine it's 4 years now. I seem also to be having this big life shift at the same time if year that she died. Not unconnected I think.
I am getting a lot of attention and kind words directed my way as the parents at work realize I am really leaving.
The attention is hard.
I am trying to decide if I will see Andrea before I go. Can't decide if i's good for me or not.
I am eating too much sugar.
I am really working on "Til There Was You" by the Beatles ( It's really a Meredith Wilson song), Toxic by Britney Spears, and "Dream A LIttle Dream of Me" on the uke. I found a new uke teacher in the bay area. So, that's good.
