The promised expansion of the choices. Again, if you can think of other options that I am missing, let me know. : )
Option 1: Focus on the job and life I have now. Stop looking for teaching jobs, researching teaching, and teaching a class or two every year. Read more, write more, be in a choir, be less exhausted, find a new church, find some more volunteer work with a church.
Option 2: Focus on the job I may get in the future. Sing less. Be more exhausted. Read less. Write less. Try to get published. Keep researching and teaching. Build up enough experience and/or publications over the next ten years that I might be able to get a teaching job once I have my loans paid off. Work a couple jobs some of the time. Have less time to do volunteer work and in my church.
Don't worry, I think I'll hold off on making any momentous decisions until after my performance review at work and maybe late spring when I'll have absorbed so much sunlight, I can't possibly be the least bit SADD (if I even am now, which I doubt).
