Back!
I have been running since we got back from our trip. We got in about three yesterday afternoon, but Kevin had to go to bed right away to try and get some sleep before his first shift started. I went ahead and ran errands while he was doing that, and then with all the getting up with him, going back to bed, then getting back up for work, I didn't have a chance to sit down and post anything. Plus, work kept me pretty busy.
I told Kev everything, and after he stopped threatening to kill Alex, we sat down and talked about a game plan. I suppose it's not so much a game plan as a "Can I afford to quit my job" plan. I did tell him that I had potential job opportunities available to me and then he asked me the big question: Was I really happy doing the suit and tie thing?
It made me stop and think. Going back to work today also made me stop and think. It wasn't just because of the situation Somers was/is putting me in, but when I sat down and imagined myself still doing my job until the day I retired, I became incredibly depressed. Then, I typed up my resignation and put it on my boss's desk. I just walked out of there. I still can't believe I did it.
Kev's asleep now (his first day on the new job went well, he said), but he should be getting up soon so we can have a talk about what I've done. I'm not going to start panicking until tomorrow.

Glad to hear you talked with Kevin.
So, how are you feeling now about walking out? Any ideas on what you might like to do instead of the suit and tie thing?
no subject
I'm trying to think of things I'd rather do, but so far all I can think about is staying home. Maybe I need the motivation of boredom before I can really figure something out.
no subject
When you get desperate, tackle the task of doing all those things that you always put off till later. If your list is anything like mine, it will motivate you to find something else to do.

Does that sound weird?
no subject
But no, that doesn't sound weird. And it's great that you guys have talked about it and know where each other stand.
no subject
Actually, we have discussed it and he's assured me that he doesn't mind if I stay home. His salary is enough to support the both of us (and Wendell), so he says there's no rush for me to hit the job market, as far as he's concerned.
no subject
That works out then. I know you've mentioned that you're enjoying that role. Is it something you can see yourself doing long term?
I've gotta give ya credit for it. I admit, my ideas on being in a relationship have been changing lately but I don't think I could stay home full-time.
no subject
It also helps that I know Kevin doesn't expect me to stay home. He's ready to support any decision I make, and that takes away a lot of pressure and potential resentment.
BTW, Kev told me he thinks you moved/are moving?
no subject
That's nice. You two have quite the relationship.
Oh yeah, I wanted to talk to you about that. That I am, although at the moment I'm not completely sure where I'll end up, but I wanted to let you know I was still interested in doing that skydiving thing with you and Kevin. When the timing works out for you guys, let me know and I'll make arrangements to be in your neck of the woods.
no subject
Okay, I'll ask Kevin when he wants to do it, since he's the working stiff and has to make the arrangements. What're you doing for the 4th of July holiday, by the way? I'm trying to talk him into having a little get together, and if you were free to come up early, I don't see why we couldn't do the diving thing before that.
