One End is Another Beginning

In keeping with my trend of not updating much, it has been a few more months since my last post. Here is what is new.

I quit my job at Soho 3 weeks ago. The endless hours and stress took a toll on my back that I couldn't stand any longer. Ibuprofen, even in quantities far beyond what is usually recommended by a doctor, gave absolutely no relief.

I have always worked in spite of back pain. This is the first time I have quit a job because of it. Its not a step I ever wanted to take, but it seems that it was inevitable that I did. The condition only seems to worsen the older I get.

I have felt a lot better in the last 3 weeks, though I realize that I need to maintain a certain level of activity in addition to rest. I hope I have recovered a bit and dropped some of my immunity to ibuprofen, so at least it will provide a bit of relief when I need it.

Ideally, I'd like to only focus on my freelance design company, but the reality is, I cannot make enough money to support myself only doing that job. I will need to find another job, probably part-time again, to at least be able to afford the place I live and to feed myself. I do, however, also need to make sure that this job is one that puts less strain on my back. This may not be very easy, but we will see.
