COVID-19 has changed our lives. Working as a media specialist, or any type of educator, is overwhelming and stressful right now.

I rarely have insomnia. A few years ago, we moved from our home state of Texas to North Carolina. My husband didn’t have a job. I slept fine. My daughter left for college.
