Give it some more time - you're still just a little bit "itchy", maybe feeling a bit guilty, maybe a bit of doubt. Hang tough. You'll get past all of that. When you do, you will be glad you did.

Great post - one of the hardest things to do is turn down work for someone who has worked their entire adult life, like many of us has.
It's very surreal but like Jeff said...gotta hang tough and get through it!
