Little dose of relief

I have been taking this medicine for about two months now. I no longer cry uncontrollably, I can usually drag myself out of bed most days, and sometimes I even have a smile on my face. I am still dirt tired because the sleep aide medicine hasn't reached a dose that works yet. But here is the most beautiful thing... I got a schedule change at work!

I have been bidding on a different schedule for about a year and a half. I really wanted to have the weekends off but child care meant I couldn't work the late shift. So this month around I just bid on anything and everything. Toby is at the school at my work so I could take on any shift. I was so burnt out that it was either give me a new schedule or I'd be taking a leave of absence (in a cute white coat!)

So while I was out for Toby's surgery (and some much needed mental break time), I finally got a new schedule. Sure it means working 10 hour days for Monday-Wednesday (and this is the AWE-SOME! part) but I get off EVERY Thursday and Friday. I have to work every Saturday but in ONE WEEK of having this schedule, I feel sooooo much better! I can still take Toby to school on my days off so I can actually vacuum the floors or wash my sheets. And if I want to do nothing at all but take a nap, well I can!

So there is my little burst of energy... my little splash of relief. Let's see if it keeps getting better!
