Patience

There are good days and there are not so good days. Today is a not so good day. I'm been trying to decide on when I should give notice to my employer. Today I feel like I just want to get it over with and tell them that I'm leaving but the smart thing would be to wait a few days. My original plan was to talk to my boss on July 1 and tell them that my last day would be July 31. I know that I'm giving one months notice and I'm required to give only 2 weeks notice. But my boss has been good to me and I think it would be a good gesture. A co-worker of mine suggested that I wait till after the July 4th weekend to give notice. Her reasoning is that since it's quite slow at work right now, they may ask me to leave immediately. I don't think so but I can see it happening. The good thing is, I really wouldn't mind leaving earlier. I've been saving the past two years and I've kept my overhead really low so that I have enough saved for the next 8 to 12 months. I also can pick up more massage shifts if it ever happens. I think that a part of me is not ready to walk away from the money. If I stay until July 31, I can easily save an extra $2000. At what point do we say we have enough or do we always want more? Going to work has been getting harder and harder. Physically I'm here but mentally and spiritually I'm definitely not. July 1 is only 8 days from now but it seems like its months away. Why do I even waste my time thinking about it and just let time fly by. I know that day will come but it doesn't seem soon enough. Why am I making such a big deal out of this? I feel like I'm carrying a heavy load and once I give notice, that load is lifted. I think I'll wait a few days.
