How a Single Day Off Convinced Me I am Insane
Self-care is NOT a myth
Today is my day off.
It is my first REAL day off in a long, long time.
Today, I realized I’m insane.
I wrote recently about how events that transpired in my life prior to 2020 came to a head in 2020 and forced me to reckon with reality.
So, here’s more:
Currently, I teach three classes at a liberal arts college and two classes at a state school in the city where I live.
That’s a full-time assignment — five classes — at just about any college anywhere in the country.
But, I also have a client that requires 80 hours a month of work. It’s a contract assignment, and one I’ve had since 2021.
And, until today, I had a full-time assignment with a nonprofit.
That is, this group paid me a full-time salary plus benefits in exchange for full-time engagement in their work.
