Day 1

What are 5 things you wish were in your refrigerator?
Go check. Eat one or more of those things if you've got them.

Tomorrow, I'm going to resign.
Just writing it down feels like a huge affirmation. I don't know whether this will benefit me in the long run, and there are many MANY other steps to take... But this is the first step.
This step I need to take. My goal is home, my daughter's hugs, clean air, blue skies, and space - glorious space away from a job that has become an emotional drain, a swamp, a cesspool.
I could be free. I will be free, I just need to take this step. Other thoughts rush in, clamoring from the corners of my mind, howling dark, grimy thoughts, lashing doubts, desolate oaths. Melodrama in the confines behind my eyes.
This one step.
Just one step.
A step away from--.
A step towards--.
The first step.
