It is the first day of school, I did the morning program and am taking my mid-day break. It sounds like in this district they are really good about not working overtime. That is really cool, and a little odd still. I was trying to get my lunch together today and realized I don't need it. I also am not the one who would work an 11 hour day on dismissal days that are short staffed. If I ever needed to we would flex the time so I was still within 40.
So I will settle in, but I also am still feeling sad. Not sure if it is a meds thing or a therapy thing. My on-line counselor is going well, She says that it will just take time, probably more than I expected. I miss my old workplace, my old department and people so very much. Anything before last school year I did some grumbling but I still really loved my work. I was super invested in serving lower income families and now I am in a high income school. The parents are SUPER nice when I have been making phone calls and meeting them. It will help to keep this more of a job than something that takes over my life like when I am more socially motivated to serve.
I am looking forward to this afternoon but not the same as I have felt the last few years. I am also super looking forward to the weekend, maybe go hiking or something to get out of town.
