Our plan seems to be working. I limit my substitute-teaching to three days a week. Every day, I schedule me-time like showering or soaking in the bathtub, reading a book, giving myself a manicure or pedicure, doing things for me. Liberty greets me at the door each afternoon I teach. Her unconditional love and contagious smile bring light to my world.
On the days I don't teach, I attend counseling appointments then Liberty and I take a quick nap together enjoying our sleepy cuddles. With our naps I'm not tired all the time and still get a full night's sleep most nights. My depression meds are working. They make me feel like I'm living my life in a thick haze, but my new doctor likes the progress I've made. He claims we will adjust my dosage again soon.
Our evenings contain walks through
