First Steps....

Well, I took the plunge. Yesterday, I handed in my letter of resignation. Today, it was publicly announced. In just over two weeks, I'll be unemployed, for the first time in over a decade.

Granted, I'm pretty well prepared, I think. It's still scary, though.

It's both fulfilling and daunting to see what started as a pipe dream over three years ago coming to fruition. I remember thinking "If this still sounds like a good idea in 6 months, maybe I'll actually try to do it." Here I am three years later, doing it.

I'm so overwhelmed with things to get done, it's hard to know what to do first. I've got to get a few things fixed up around the house before I leave it in Melissa's hands. I've got to get the FOMO invitations out. I've got to get my finances squared away, bill pay set up, etc.... I've got to get the word out and start hunting for climbing partners. And I know I'm just scratching the surface.

OK, enough random blathering. There probably won't be anything else here until I hit the road....
