Peter & Camilla, Moybe I'm just tired of struggling with my coat and buttons and utensils and balance and speech and "dufusness" Thanks for confirming tiredness isn't just for me but all PDers. It's just part of the package deal. "You'll be tired all the time, aching and dizzy, see strange things out of the corner of your eye", but wait there's more, "drooling, toe cramps, difficulty turning in bed, etc. This is my last year of work, experiencing stress when I have to travel and have conferences (speaking) with teachers and parents. I knew retiring was overdue when I leaned over a student to look at a paper and dribbled some saliva on his answer. Did he notice? I'm not sure (drops of drool are often landing on test papers?) I don't know. But I saw it-"dufusness in full bloom" Well, I did wipe it up first time I had a chance. Experience things you've never done before that's the PDers way. Tired but trying (in more ways than one), Patricia
