Well, I've taken a big step of faith. I put in my two weeks' notice at work. This means I'll really have to get busy doing other things to make money enough to keep the bills paid.
There was getting to be so much stress, drama, and politics at work that I just couldn't stay there anymore. Besides, I started thinking that unless and until I took this step, I'd never really work in earnest on my own and would never take my own dreams seriously.
I may apply for part-time work somewhere to tide me over for a bit. The holiday season is closing in and places generally hire temporary and part-timers to work until after Christmas. In the meantime, I'll keep writing as I've done for the past few years, along with digging into eBay more and doing some more surveys.
All this should be a lot easier to fulfill since I won't be working the wacky hours I usually have to work. But, it also means setting myself up with a schedule to operate at home just as though I were clocking in somewhere. I'm pretty industrious usually, so I think I can do this.
It may be tight, financially speaking, for awhile. I'll be watching every penny even closer than before. And, I'll keep you posted on my progress as I go along -- the ups and the downs of not depending on an employer for a paycheck may act on me like certain detox centers do to addicts. I'm addicted to a regular paycheck and may have withdrawals!
Come along for the ride, though it may be a rocky one from time to time!
