For a fleeting moment after I sent the email, I rejoiced. It was very short-lived. Today I gave notice at my job as a paraeducator in an open public school. My last day will be November 20th. I don't have another job to go to, yet. The stress of working with so many different people is taking enough of a physical toll on me that I don't want to be there. Could I start taking anti-anxiety meds? Probably, but that won't help me not get Covid. Getting Covid isn't what causes me anxiety, bringing it home to my family does. I'm not sure what I will do next for a job. I will miss people.
When I got home I received the weekly letter from the superintendent where they said that they would not be going remote for the holidays. This message helped me believe that I have made the correct choice. And so making a step at being safer is a happy for today. Other happy things:
- Once home from work my mood started to lift.
- Hearing from Gideon about his NaNoWriMo story.
- Listening to Z and Gideon read off jokes from the internet.
- K and C (maybe others in the family?) put up Christmas lights outside and a tree on the front porch. Is it early for Christmas? Not when there is a pandemic happening, we need all the joy we can get.
- It is Minecraft night.
