I am glad to hear you are giving this decision all your attention. I especially liked DebbieDs' response about the energy we have in our lives. My concern was exactly that. You don't want to burn the candle at both ends and burn out! If you care to, make a list of the pro's and con's of the parts of your life that will be effected by your decision. See which one has the most importance. That idea of a 9-5 job sounds good except for the commute, that travel time. My cousin has MS, so I know what it is your are facing with that condition. All the posts you received have valuable advice and council. This is a big decision, so do go back and read them all again. There will be words of encouragement any time you come back here, in which ever way you decide. Take the deep breath, with peace and guiet your heart. I hope your holidays are good ones. ginnie
