Thanks everybody. Sure do appreciate your suggestions .... Someone asked awhile back for a few more details (and I apologize, I didn't explain things very well). I teach by day -- I think I can muddle my way through this. But by night, at least from mid-September until mid-December, I've been asked to run a dance program. It's only one night a week, and there are therapeutic benefits to be sure -- but I just don't have it in me. It's a bit late to bow out now, and I'd be doing the dance studio a big disservice. These are the folks I was hemming and hawwing over. (Spelling?) I also volunteer in the nursery at the Y one night a week in exchange for a free membership, and -- I'm not even getting over to the Y to work out -- let alone finding strength and energy enough to look after the little ones .... That's another area I think I should get out of. It's just the dance thing, that I've been stewing over. That's the one that's been the major problem area. I've let it go too long, and already they've been asking can I "do this," and can I "do that," and I'm -- I'm wanting to resign. I just can't take on anything more. I'm wondering -- I'm thinking -- I can probably make it through December -- I'm just feeling -- it's too late -- too late -- at this point to tell them I made a mistake. They'll never be able to find another instructor by September 13th .... Thanks though. And -- obviously -- I've gotta talk with my doc. It helps to talk with you guys, by the way. Thanks. XXX, E.
