I'm having a hard time adjusting back into our old life after vacation. Leaving for holiday break with a salary dispute hanging and coming back to a less than ideal resolution has me uninspired at work. On top of that, I miss being with Asher. We spent three weeks straight together and every time we are together things are so much better. I hate not having weekends with him and I hate having conflicting schedules on the weekdays. I mean really...hate.
Since coming back, I noticed that at work I can't breathe the air (my nose is stuffed, I sneeze all day long). I'm back to clenching my jaw from stress and my stomach is twisty over deadlines and little administrative tasks that have to be done, now. I've had three days of headaches after three weeks of none. So I wonder...
What do I do with this feeling?
I feel like I could invest time into GraffRoots, sell with Asher, market his artwork online, set up a screen print operation to start producing shirts for him. Do something creative myself, maybe jump back into wedding planning.
I know I'm lucky to have a job, especially with the economy. And a dispute over a couple thousand dollars shouldn't make me want to throw away a lot-of-thousand dollars. But I can't help feeling like I need it, we need it. Shake this feeling off? Or begin to think seriously about taking a very big risk.

This is so hard. I've been in your place and have been to scared to quit my job, but I often wonder... I guess the best way to test it is to take on more with Graffroots and wedding planning without cutting back on your day job. It will suck, but it might make things clearer for you as to whether it's worth the risk.
Thanks for not saying "ARE YOU CRAZY?". You are right, work on it now to see if it is even possible. I talked to Asher about it last night and usually he doesn't like to make "future" plans but we were both on the same page for this and he was super excited too. So we're going to scrimp and save and plan and start and then....we'll see!
it is hard, but I believe you will choose the best way for you!
