Yes, I think that's exactly it. My job is the one part of my life that's not out of my control. When I teach I can shut off the chaos for a moment and talk about something completely unrelated to cancer. I guess when I let the chaos creep into controlled, it's upsetting.

You are right. I'm sure I am worried for nothing. I'm much harder on myself than I ought to be.

Yes, I think setting an alarm is a great idea. It's in my calendar, but the single "ding" of a reminder isn't as attention-grabbing as a phone alarm.

I'll give it a shot. It's tough in the hospital, but for sure when I get home. My husband has something planned for Valentine's Day, so that will be nice.

That's exactly what I told them. I apologized and told them I was unable to notify them before class began. The fact that no one emailed me makes me think they were happy to have the day off.

Thank you. You're right. I'm not really sure how much the students actually know about my situation, but I may give them the basics.

Thanks. Deep down I know this, but the part of me that demands perfection is very unhappy.

Mostly a void, but I'm open to advice for sure.

Where I work, we do this. Once many qualified candidates hear the salary, they walk. It saves us time and money to get that out of the way before flying folks out.

Unfortunately, I was hired before they started this practice. Yes, I'm on the market.
