Dear Anita,

Good morning.  Bad headache today – combination of the stress plus the longer hours at work – but you know what?! My last day is Dec. 31! Hurray!

Regardless of what we do –  I will be done with this draining job, at least I can celebrate that!

Here are some updates:

My husband was feeling uneasy, as you know, and did feel in a way that we “jumped the gun” in giving notice to his job.  They have been extremely supportive of the decision (his boss the chairman) and sad to see him go.  He felt last week a palpable discomfort.  We decided with my in laws this weekend that the best thing to do is give some time.  This is not the sort of decision to make in a hasty state when you don’t feel entirely prepared.  You know, it may take an extra day or week – whatever it is, but time is time.

Anyway, today my husband went to his chairman and was completely honest about his hesitations about moving, and perhaps interest to stay, etc.  He was happy to hear this (the chairman and said a few things). He can take his time to make his choice, and if he decides SD and is not happy there – he can come back anytime, he will be welcomed back and has a job waiting for him.

The great thing about his position here in nyc is that this chairman has always been great, sure the intricacies of the job are not all dependent on him…

I am glad for this update – and it will put my husband at ease too
