Fork in the Road

Writing about feminism, relationships, gender, identity, fiction, poetry and life by a Bay area questioning, sarcastic, warm-hearted, tech diva who was once married and monogamous for many years and then took a new fork in the road --a much more interesting and unpredictable fork.

Tired and questioning

I have been on the road forever this month. Lots of travel for my job, and lots more coming up.
I was hoping to see R tonight, my one night home, but he's running a fever and I can't risk getting sick, not with what I have to do this coming week.
So I am home, glad for the free time, but feeling troubled and confused--probably because this is the first quiet moment in, oh, two weeks!

I have some things I have to figure out and they are hard and on my mind--
I am unsure whether I am better off looking for and taking a staff job, or continuing as I am (I own my own small business).
Business is good right now, but the future is always uncertain (One friend's response to that was "So, look for a job if things slow down!).
The big dilemma is what kind of life I want to live--
Right now my life is exciting, but finances can be uneven, there is lots of travel and unsteadiness, but great stimulation.
A staff job would be more low key but provide not only security but steadiness--the ability to plan to go to yoga class, for example.
Problem is, I am more drawn to the stimulation, but wonder if I can change.
It might be a big adjustment, but a good one, to focus on building a life, cooking dinner, exercising, hanging out--instead of this crazy treadmill I enjoy so much.
I dunno.
I seems hard to make that decision--I am kind of addicted to the excitement and risk of my little business--and to helping clients solve their problems.
