I had been thinking about finally doing it for a few weeks. The mess of everything else going on in my life and with my family has calmed down a bit, and has started to make more sense, and the time just seemed right. Finally told more of the people in my life (in the form of a Facebook post, of all things), wrote a simple letter of resignation, had a short talk with my boss, and that was that. It was quick. Painless. By far the hardest part of it all was psyching myself up to just go talk to him. Got his blessing and that was that.
So now I have to get serious. I have to get my stuff around home in order. I have to do some things I've been putting off. I need to decide on where I'm going first and start making plans. A lot to be done in the next three weeks or so.
Feels ... weird. But good? But weird.
July 8, 2017 is the last day at work.
Onward.
