Thank you, gorgeous.

I don't think I adequately described what would be involved. Round the clock accountability. Lunch, if lucky. Stopping work at five, if lucky. Weekend hours just to stay afloat and innumerable meetings. And, an account team that I worked with before and have zero respect for.

And that's why I feel terrible right now. Because people would do anything for this kind of money, yet this is no longer who I am. My husband, who supports any decision I make would have to take over everything that I'll have to drop around our home, and he has no idea what he'd be taking on. And, he's still working until the end of the year, yet with a fraction of the intensity that I'll have to put in.

Truth be told, when you get older, and your dreams have shifted dramatically, four months out of one's life is a big deal.

But that said, I will take it one day, one hour at a time. I don't want to let anyone down, least of all, my friends here.
