Hi everyone! My summer hasn’t been too busy,  but I did start a new job! Besides piano teaching, which I’m always doing, I started working at Build A Bear workshop! So far, this job has helped me get some confidence back that jobs aren’t always terrible, there is good management out there, and I can do well at a new job. I had last a lot of confidence last summer from a couple of jobs that were very difficult.

Right now, I’m hoping to work for my school district this fall,  as well as teaching piano of course, and maybe I’ll keep working at BAB.

However, I need to make sure I don’t get too busy and then overwhelmed.  With depression, I get overwhelmed about even little things– like doing the dishes or making a meal. So I need to keep some down time and friend time in my calendar.

I’ll write to you again soon!
