Here's what scares me a bit:

It would mean a lot of work. I would go from being accessible to D11 24/7 to being very, very busy...especially in the first 3 to 6 months. I would need to re-fresh/learn some new things in a short span of time and get familiar with newer versions of software that I haven't used...and, I would need to become accomplished fast.

It scares me to be so far from home without support to help with D11.

I even considered, Gawd help me, inviting my mom...She could help with D11, provide some support (D11 really just needs some sort of foundation available as she adjusts--not really to do anything but just BE there while she settles).

Mom would also solve the problem of my credit issue. She could sign the lease, but I could help her out (repay her for some of what she has helped me) by paying a larger portion of the rent each month. I could re-build my credit in the meantime.

In addition, I worry about my mom being in Ohio without me. She is 71 and overdoes it.

I don't know if any of this would pan out...I am just thinking out loud.
