Postponing the Sabbatical

I am going to postpone the sabbatical for many personal reasons, but I think I will be able to get some writing done this summer if I don't teach three classes like last summer. That was just too much as it left little time for writing while watching the kids during the day and teaching at night. I was pretty burned out over the summer instead of rested and adding that to a new prep for online teaching for the fall just became way too much. I think just watching the boys this summer and writing when I can will be a great way to recuperate. I can always apply for the sabbatical again in the future.

All for now...

When will you know how many classes you'll teach over the summer? Take it easy, dude! We don't want your brain to become addlepated.

Thanks, Missy. I am going to try NOT to teach this summer. Not at all. I need a break and need to rest and need to write. I taught three last summer right up until the fall semester started and that was the worst semester of a 21-year teaching career. Glad it is all in the past.
