thefleet's Meanderings

Thursday 10.16.2025

I turned in my two week notice at work Tuesday. I need to take a moment to reflect on this because it will be important for me to look back on later.

My mom's cancer has "significant growth", doctor's words exactly. I've not been doing well myself. I've been getting an average of 1-2 migraines a week that often last more than a day. It's been more than a little bit difficult to be reliable at work or otherwise. So I decided to quit work for now. I'll get a part time something to keep me from going stir crazy and to help give me some pocket money.

My husband will be able to support us, we will just have to be careful about spending. We've been too lackadaisical about money regardless lately, so this might be a good thing.

This also puts me in a position that I need to figure out what's next regarding my career. At my current job I was on a certain path. I haven't exactly burned that bridge, but I don't think I can go back to the company at this point. It feels like more of an opportunity to work on what I really want out of life rather than feeling like I lost something.

I might have more thoughts later, but I needed to put all of this into words.
