WORKING FROM HOME AND HEALTH BENIFITS

I HAVE BEEN WORKING A 40 HR WORK WEEK FOR THE PAST 9 MONTHS SINCE BEING DIAGNOSED WITH THE FIBRO, AND ITS GETTING TO BE TOO MUCH. I HAVE AN HOUR DRIVE TO AND FROM WORK EVERYDAY, ALONG WITH STRESS AND NO TIME TO MYSELF ANYMORE. THROUGH ALL OF THIS I TRY TO DEAL WITH THE AWFUL PAIN AND EXHAUSTION ALL THE TIME. I THINK IT WOULD BE MUCH BETTER IF I TRY TO WORK FROM HOME. I WAS CONSIDERING EBAY, CRAFT SHOWS, CONSIGNMENT, ETC. IF I LEAVE MY PRESENT JOB I WILL LOSE MY HELATH BENIFITS AND DON'T KNOW IF I COULD AFFORD THEM ON MY OWN. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY SUGGESTIONS OR WOULD ENJOY HEARING FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED A SIMILIAR SITUATTION. THANK YOU!

BUT.... I feel like my visits are not what they use to be. He...

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
