I'm taking this job one day at a time. I want to have at least 20 hours a week and am slowly getting there. I have odd hours in the morning and night. But, I have not had a job in two years so am feeling blessed about this new job. At my age, even this job seems like a God-send. I feel very grateful about my situation. I also feel tired most of the time due to my medication, I believe. I drink coffee to alleviate this tiredness. I have heard about others being laid off now and others who left their jobs. As a result, I really appreciate my situation. I work online now but will have to show up in person after this covid -19 situation improves. I am not really looking forward to showing up in person but, at least, it is better than being locked in all day.
I also met a man online who is supportive of me. He adores me and tells me to be free. I tell him the same. I like him much but know the best I can do with my situation is to take care of myself and work. I am in no position to take care of others. So, our relationship is more like a friendship although he said he would come to visit me one day after the covid-19 situation resolves, whenever that will be. I talk to him daily about all subjects. He is like my best friend now. hmmmm, he is a good man and a good friend to me.
Anyways, I am happy about my life now! I have to keep this job for at least a year according to my contract. Hopefully, it will become easier for me as time passes. Right now, I have to prepare a lot for each assignment. I am a teacher online. So, my assignments are students and meetings with students. I really love teaching. It is fun!! However, the pay is really low but better than doing nothing. I love all of my students too, so far. I work for a company too, not a school. It is all for profit for the company, but for me, I really enjoy teaching students from all backgrounds.
I take my medication each morning after I wake up now. It is good for me because I forget easily. I think the medication is helping me to remain calm and stable. I am thankful for this medication!
Life is good!! I will make sure to do well each day by motivating myself to take my medication, taking care of myself, and by working.
