To work or not to work.

I miss working. I miss being in a rush. I really miss going to work.
My mom referred me to her boss to work in her back office to do inventory reports. My mom asked me if I'm okay about it and I said I will think about it first.
I have so many things to consider. Of course, my health issue, then my being lazy at times. Also, I am thinking if I'm going to work who will take care of Basty's uniform? His baon? His school? Who will look after him if I'm going to work.
I'm also considering the salary. It's enough for my medicine and other stuff. I can pay my health insurance ahead of time. I can also pay my Social Security. And by chance, I can save and finance my online business at the same time.
I'm really having a hard time thinking about it. Really. I mean. Hard time.
What you think?

When I was younger with three boys to raise on my own, I worked so hard.. I took all the jobs that I could possible get.. for 20 years, I only had 2 to 3 hours of sleep a day ..seven days a week ..
So I can relate to what you are going through right now ..Whatever job you can get while you are young and able, you must take because when you get to my age (60) , you need more money but you work less .. I wish you well ..

I would have gone for it. Experience matters. The moments that you will live there will become your stories and these will be things you'll speak with great enthusiasm for years to come.

@JustBhem do you have to be at the office, or can you arrange to do some of the work at home?

If I'm in your place, I'll consider working again.

I know that you have made a lot of considerations regarding the work you are referring too. I don't much about other things like your medication needs, kids needs, and other areas of consideration. Nevertheless, I am confident in your ability to weigh things over and make the right choice for you. In life, there are things we can control with our choices, which can be a learning process, a challenge or a wonderful blessing.

@JustBhem I can understand all your thoughts about this. Did you ever end up working at the place your mum suggested?
