Dissertation done, now what?

I'm still having a hard time realizing that I am done, done, done with my dissertation.   I even took a picture of the Proquest listing to help me realize that yes, it is real.

I am now working on a paper, had hoped to have it done sooner, but not sure which journal I want to submit to,  and need to meet with advisor to decide.  Then what after that?  I have several ideas of what I might want to do, yet not sure of the best way to go.

I really enjoy working with other faculty and helping them set up their online classes, and I could do that on the one-by-one basis.  I am also thinking that I've never taken a sabbatical (deadline is Feb. 17) but that would mean committing myself to stay where I am for two more years - not sure I want to tie myself down.  I have several ideas for projects so it would not be hard to fill the time, but honestly I was so busy going to grad school and working, that I could continue teaching and still do much of what I want.

I know that I am fortunate to be in a tenured position teaching physiology, which I love, but after 25 years, perhaps a change is needed. 

I'm hoping to get my blogging up to speed now that I am done, so this is the first installation of the second phase of my education exploration.
