It's closing time...

Yep, it's closing time...somebody's beginning end...that song, however it goes, kept running through my head. I've made the big decision. I've volunteered to take a package in the next layoff. It seems inevitable. Sooner or later... This way I at least have some control over where and when and how.

And, with Tony's support, I'm going to try and write. And be poor, I suppose.

It's freaking me out some, but I think it was something I needed to do. You can only take so much. We've had years of miserableness.

Now I've got to re-prioritize. I've put off the NaNoWriMo and I'm going to work on my "real" novel -- the one most likely to be published. I'll get about 4.5 months of paid time. I think I could finish it in 2...
