  6. The job is great news and I have faith in you that you can make it all work. It sounds like it will be less stressful than your last one which will be half the battle I think. I also reckon you have a need to prove to yourself that you can do this while working (which of course you can!). You will feel even better and more relaxed about it all when (not if) you do.
