Something is changing. I can feel it. People meeting behind closed doors, restructuring, unannounced layoffs, people suddenly gone.

I wonder if they are going to eliminate my position. And if I want to fight them about it.

Or whether I should just let it go and move on with my life.

Am I ready to take the leap of faith? And what would my therapist have to say about all that? She's always reminding me to take the middle path, to avoid the extreme decisions.

If I do nothing, is that an extreme decision? If I act, ask, confront, what is that? If I ask my boss what is going on, would she do anything other than deny it? Why would she tell me?

I trust no one.

There is one thing that terrifies me, though: being out of work and in debt. And, like the rest of America, I'm in far too much debt.
