What have I gotten myself into 😳

My worries were completely validated on my fifth day at work. I arrived and found there were TWO call outs. I was completely alone. The only MA for two providers and not yet trained on their point of care. It was complete hell. But the place has an iron clad team mentality and we got through it together.

Ps: lots of positive flu A today. Get your vitamin C!! It’s gonna be a doozie of a season. I can just feel it.

Feeling quite uplifted. Saw a lot of video of the Queen and Princess Anne. It was nice to see some of the past history of the Queen from when her father passed to when she passed and how things are going for Princess Anne. Queen of the commonwealth of 62 independant countries 1/3 of the worlds population. Things are changing now that she is gone and the future does not look all that bright for the throne.

Okay for now. Trying not to dwell on bad stuff. Trying to remember the good stuff.

I'm felling pretty good for an old fart! Started a sinus infection before Christmas but nipped it in the bud. Have been surrounded by flu,COVID, respiratory sicknesses but I have dodged the bullet so far. I am however tired. I'm so ready physically to retire but I love my paycheck and my retirement will not equal my paycheck. So I'll work on a little bit. So I'm feeling pretty spiffy. If Iz any better I'd have to be twins

in a good mood

[GeorgiaMa'am]

I'm feeling . . . annoyed by the fireworks. But not as annoyed as I will be at 1 AM.

Good. The hip is much better. Will give the bike a try this morning. It’s amazing what some veggies and water can heal.

Pretty happy! It's voting day in NH so the deluge of mailed political ads that fill my mailbox daily should soon cease to exist. Well, that is at least until fall.

Riding a high from a super fun weekend! Spent with boss butch at her Mom's house. Disney one day and football the next. Cocktails and snacks were enjoyed by all!

We just have way too much fun, laughs and good times, always!

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Still kinda sad, but a little better.

I've been keeping track of what I eat, and I noticed I don't get enough protein every day. I'm right on the money for carbs and fats, but not protein. I wonder if that's got something to do with how I feel? I don't eat protein at every meal, but I'm going to try adding some.

I’m feeling annoyed: Reason no 1) where the hell are all the crazy people who take out the bad people??? Reason no 2) I’m sick of that toxic orange dick that keeps on with their horrifying behaviors and their sicko fans who keep feeding that grifter’s piggy bank.

Yeah. I’m feeling annoyed.

[Soft*Silver]

Ecstatic!

It’s official! I’ve known for a while that they were going to offer it to me, but today it’s a done deal. I accepted my new job! After three months, many interviews and many job offers, I finally negotiated my way into the job that I wanted! Once again, I am working with seniors in a case management type of way, in HUD Housing. And I decided to take on full-time work. We’ll see if I like that. I have been semi retired and have only worked part time for the last decade or so. But I really like this kind of work and at my last job where I did the same thing, I often wished I had more time.

I never worried that I wouldn’t find a job. I just worried I wouldn’t find the job I wanted. But now I can say I have!

Tired, I walked all over the RV camper show today. I'm worn out

We have a massive homeless population problem in our metro area where homeless people in RV’s (new and dilapidated used vehicles) occupy streets in neighborhoods and its just a terrible battle for both homeless RV owners and home owners. Such a struggle!

waking from a dream ..

[kittygrrl]

Snowed practically all day..not my favorite

[Stone-Butch]

Felling pretty good. Calm cool and collected. My brother is coming tomorrow and we go to dinner and a stage show. I am sitting here at 330a.m. it is 34F, I have the window open and the breeze is so cool and calm. I feel relaxed with the world.

Owies…… I had a tooth pulled today because it split down the middle. It didn’t hurt at all when he pulled it. But everything’s worn off that made that possible and now I’m feeling the pain!

Owies indeed! Tooth pain is just the worst, at least it seems so when it happens. I hope you feel better soon. In the meantime, let me share my go-to remedy for the pain: soak your tooth in whiskey. Put it on a cotton ball if you wish, or just swish it around your tooth. It works better than anything available OTC from the drug store; my dentist agrees. Again, I hope you are quick to heal.

I am doing somewhat better these days. I am watching what I eat and keeping a food diary. I think that is helping.

[Orema]

Good. Starting to feel antsy and wanting to go away for a few days, but I think it’s some kind of anxiety so I’ll just stay home for now.
