I am in California, I am only 40. I spoke to my boss, my co-worker, my husband, my friend and my mom. They all thought it was a good idea, and I know I'm really bad at scaling down and asking for help when I need to.

I put it in an email, so it's in writing, that I'll go ahead and do it, temporarily. Got the email back from them acknowledged. I've been on disability before, I know I have plenty state disability that will cover me for an extended period, like I think up to a year. I've been here 6 years so I would qualifty for FMLA if that's what it should be. I'll find out today.

Sigh. I had a great trip this weekend. I'll post seperately so you can all get some warm snow fuzzies.
