About the only thing I got done today was making cookies for the ritual tomorrow. I have been depressed every since I looked into writing my resume. And then suddenly I had this inspiration, this sudden thought - what would happen if I just decided not to work and to concentrate on my true vocation, priestessing? What would Tom do, stop supporting me? Not very likely. He has been supporting me for thirty years. I talked to Tom about this. He was definitely not thrilled about it. He felt that we need the money. Our expenses are greater than our income. Yet he would accept it if I really decided not to work. It was a heady feeling. I could just not to it - just not go to work.
Later in the day, Tom learned that there wasn't a new project for him at work for some time but they had an onsite job that he could do for two weeks. Now he was depressed. He really hates having to get dressed up, get up early, commute into Madison, work all day at a company, commute home. That's why he is self-employed and works from home. He told them he would think about it and give them an answer on Monday. As it turns out this was not the best day for me to come up with the idea of just not working.
