I managed to survive an especially trying day…..

It started with someone knocking on my door at 6am 😳 I was up but didn’t need to be up up until 7ish since I go into work later on weekends….

Got to work only to find the receptionist had called out of work and I was wearing non official scrubs anticipating my boss not being in. But she came in to cover the absent receptionist…..

Then we realized by 9:10 that the provider was apparently a no show…. We had to shuffle things around and arrange for virtual visits and send away anyone who needed hands on care until a replacement was found.

And finally… I had my first person pass out on me while I drew their blood. And I specifically asked him before hand because he was somewhat gingery. He assured he had an aversion to needles but did NOT faint……. Till today.


I’m not sure if the solar eclipse has created flares or a vortex, but things have been mightyyyy strange at work lately. Just sayin….

Sunday Woo Woo ❤️
 

I’m ready for work today and looking forward to time with my honey and our grand baby, over the next few days. She’s so adorably cute.

Hey hey hey, today is Saturday 🙂‍↔️
 

Gotta work today but will be home later. Right now I’m just slowly getting ready (having a small snack — raspberries and a handful of roasted peanuts) and listening to a long playlist of songs from yesteryear. :balloon:

I’m strongly considering a segue in my career. I’ve been looking at programs for radiology technologist.
I have SOME credits to put towards it, but otherwise it’s almost like starting over in my career. Scary…but also very enticing….

<<<<<~~~~~ still in bed, but will have to get up to make more coffee and make breakfast (scrambled eggs with smoked Gouda, avocado on naan). At least I don’t have clients until this afternoon. Will get dressed later but enjoy the sunrise and binge on reading posts here.

:bow:

<<<<<<<~~~~. Has been mesmerized by favorite baseball team

<<<<<<<~~~~. Was going to go up to Seattle to watch my baseball team play against the Mariners but Amtrak wanted way too much money for a round trip and cheap seats at the T-mobile sports field was too much too. So … I will just do pay-per-view streaming to watch the game today.

In other news(lol): I noticed that road rage drivers are finally getting the much deserved attention they need. There was a 60+ year old driver who stalked a racing motorcycle driver and he nearly killed the motorcyclist out on the “sunset highway” that goes up the west hills toward the zoo. I’m pretty sure that road rage driver won’t be trying to kill anyone ever again. He’s still in jail on his way to prison.

Sorting out my goodbye furniture. I am getting rid of a few pieces of furniture to make room for new. I have a china cabinet, glider chair and a very long office desk... alll gotta go. I saw a nice wooden table that I like and it will fit more of my collection and a smaller comfy chair to replace that glider which is quite large. I don't need the other desk as I am using a smaller one that takes up less room. All of it is being picked up by the Salvation Army to give away or sell as they please. Be glad when it is sorted.

<<<<<<<~~~~ I am terribly sensitized to the traumatic results of the election earlier this month. I don’t watch any news anymore (for now) but come across stuff online, once in a while.

To compound my heavy hearted sadness is the fact that two dear friends of mine have passed away and there are a couple family members/dear friends who might not live much longer due to health issues. (w)(w)(w)


Right now, I just keep my focus on making it through the day at work (which is a HUGE challenge — they voted for you know who). I still have bills to pay each month, student loan payments from hell, and a couple years of car payments.

Going forward, each day, instead of my old habit of reading national news, I go to the gym early (before I go to work) and exercise for two hours based on goals I set with my gym coach. On my days off, I attend pool aerobics or do the Zumba dance class, then treat myself to a soak in the jacuzzi.

Also, the holidays are ruined for me. I’ve canceled my views on holidays that most people celebrate and will now only entertain having a “holiday” (of my own making) that I use to reward myself for achievements that bring peace and joy to my life.

I just learned about the Left and Right Twix thing. I had no idea. Have I been under a rock or is this not common knowledge?

I’m still in my night gown and slippers but I need to get up and go grocery shopping and check in at the gym today : I have a meeting with my exercise coach. :balloon:
