(Clears Throat)

 It's been a while, and things have changed.

First let me say, I quit my job after only 3 months of working. I have my reasons and they are valid to me if not anyone else.

I'm no Spring Chicken. I thought I could just go right back to work after 14 months of not working or doing anything close to work. No. My body told me who IS in charge.

Ling story short...I was in a lot of pain. Though I was only working 8 hours a day, I was out of the house for12 hours. I would wake up 4 hours before my shift started and it only takes me less than an hour to get to work. I would come home, shower, eat and be in bed by 6:30pm...only to start it all over again. Days off...I would wake up at 5am and not even leave the house, sleep off and on all day and still be in bed by 8:30pm. But that didn't work.

Two weeks ago I started getting these pains on the left side of my chest. After 3, 4 days the pain would shift to the right side of my chest. I had a hard time sitting up and even getting out of bed. So, I took it very easy. Now the pain is on the right side of my lower back, close to my stomach. I don't know what it is or what is causing it but taking it easy seems to be working out right for me so far. This is why...

I've made up my mind. I will no longer work a 40 hour work week when I do decide to go back to work. Not only that, I don't think it's healthy for me to be living in New York City any more. If I continue to live and work here, I will go back to the same old routine day in and day out. So...I've decided to move. I have a place in mind and I will let those who care about me know where I've landed.
