Dawn ,'Storyteller'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
And wow. That was almost the worst timing ever to post, right after Erin's post.
Not at all, love.
My post isn't a DARK DESPAIR post; more like an FYI, here's where it's at, thanks for all the fish post. I'm nervous, but it's more like breaking up with a wonderful guy, whose just not the right guy for me, you know?
A little regret, nerves, but hope for the future.
I love that we are both smugglers. Seeds aren't plants, right?
Oh Erin, I wish you peace in making and following through with your decision. Not everyone can even try teaching (I would be horrible at it), and you're making the best most responsible decision for you and your students.
Erin, my darling, you take care of you, first. I'm so proud of you for recognizing what you need to do in order to function and feel better.
I actually have an idea for you that I shall email you about.
{{{Erin}}} Best of luck, and I hope this decision brings you lots and lots of peace.
Thanks, all.
Thanks for being there, thanks for the support, thanks for ....everything.
{{{Erin}}} You have to do what you have to do. It takes courage to make these kinds of decisions, and I wish you nothing but the best.
Shir, that was just lovely.
My allergies are horrible this year, compounded by the fact that I skipped 2 doses of Zyrtec and sent myself back to the beginning. OMG, I'm miserable.
I've heard that allergies all over are worse this year. The SO has allergies and he never has before. I even have a few sniffles.
Good for you , Erin. It is so hard after putting so much effort into something to say, nope it is n't going to work. but your post is so well thought out that it makes sense.
and although you are saying no to teaching - and I don't think you should go back to a class room full of kids , there might be some other kinds of programs that might use your teaching and organizational skills and let you be in a place where you don't have to be 100% on all the time. ( adult literacy ) But it may be way to soon to even think that way.
Whenever people find out that I work at the library- they ask me why I don't teach. Seriously? one on one interactions are good. Occasional presentations/demonstrations - no big deal. 30 to 45 min story times. Ok . But all day everyday in front of classroom trying to keep 30 kids attention. Then grading for hours? No way.
{{{Erin}}} best of luck in whatever you decide to do next.
