A new day...

I don't know if it's just this whole COVID thing or what but it sure seems like people have had some pretty nasty tempers as of late. It's starting to get old. I hope I don't end being some nasty...hateful old lady. I can't imagine someone having a very happy life being in that condition all the time. Not to mention what it does to others around them. Anyway...have fun. I'm out for the night.
 

I totally agree Marci, yesterday was a sad day in the Forums. What's going on? I was ready to walk. But lets all make it a good day today. Admin had to work overtime to restore dark threads to meet SF's high standards of "friendly forum" status. Let's give Seabreeze and Matrix a break and just be respectful of others.

I'm sure the cleanup isn't a fun process with us. LOL!

I am always amazed at the stuff people do to each other. Whether it be physically harming another or destroying a person emotionally. It's been getting worse over the years. People are getting more creative with their lying & scheming. I can't believe some of the crap one person will do & say in the name of love and or friendship when their main goal has nothing to do with your well being.

Often times if we listen really good and pay closer attention...we can pick up on things that we don't even realize. I call it radar. I wish mine were a little quicker though. Some say "well if you don't trust people then you're closing the door on what could be." I got news for everyone...I no longer care to see what could be because I'm certain it will only get worse. I'd rather slam the door on it forever & walk away.

I've grown tired of people always trying to toy with me thinking I'm not smart enough to figure it out. After 55 years of it...it's safer for me to keep my distance and not let people that close to me again. While I don't enjoy keeping people at arms length...it seems to be the only way I can survive.

The wolves are always on the hunt for prey. Don't be a victim.

I think everyone is just on edge with all the stuff going on in the world right now. It creates tension that spills over into other things. It's sad really.

I guess I missed all the excitement yesterday. I can live without that. Just checking on you to see how you are holding up with that broken rib. Hope you heal soon.

Excitement? No excitement that I know of, at least I was not excited 😂

There's just been a lot of bickering on here as of late. Making things a little cruddy. Yesterday must have been high volume. LOL

I'm starting to get better. My EIB runs out the 7th of April & I may hafta go past that. The FMLA sent a letter saying if I had to be out beyond the 7th I needed to let them and my employer know because my job would be at risk. So I've had to contact HR again to find out for sure what's going on because I don't wanna go back too early and get reinjured. I'm ok if I gotta miss a check or something. How are you?


Edit: Little update here...just got off the phone with HR. My job and insurance and all that is safe for up to 12 wks (or 3 mo). I don't think it will take that long. The FMLA did approve my leave for 5.60 weeks. I'm sure I'm gonna need longer because I'm not at a point where I'm ready to return.

I am glad you are getting better. Honestly I’ve just noticed the regular bickering, then again, I am responding to less threads since my walking, and Bella, more outside time, more tv, book reading, leaves me little time left over. Have not even played my video game in a couple of weeks. I find it harder and harder to multi task as well.

For a lazy retired person, I am certainly busy lately. 😂
 
Hi Marci, just thinking of you and I hope your ribs will get better asap--try not to cough too much--easier said than done I know.

I have not seen any of the bickering on here nor did I know there was a big "clean up" job for the Admins. I'm actually glad I didn't run into any of that as it can be disturbing. I've been trying to keep myself in as best spirits as possible. It's an all day job for me.

Take good care!

The clean up was something that had been mentioned. I'm sure it's a daily thing anyway.

Rib is beginning to heal but I'm still not gonna be able to go back yet. I have to be able to lift up to 50 lbs at any given point during my shift. Sometimes more than once. That's not gonna happen. I can easily lift 200 lbs total in one day. That's a lot for an old lady. Plus as you can see I'm still not sleeping.

Wow, that's a lot to lift! I know I couldn't do that! I'm glad it's starting to get better. Bones take a long time to heal. And when we are older everything it seems takes longer to heal. That's been my experience at least.

Apparently this isn't the first time I've done it. Prior to this I've had 3 other fractures that the docs back home said were torn tendons. I'm very lucky I didn't get hurt further cuz back then I strapped a belt around me and went back to work in excruciating pain. I can't do that anymore. I won't endanger myself like that anymore. Working in a busy commercial kitchen is very hard work. There's no time to have to babysit others who can't manage for themselves.
 
What's in your cup?

Saw this on Facebook & had to share:

You are holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and bumps into you or shakes your arm, making you spill your coffee everywhere.

Why did you spill the coffee?

"Well because someone bumped into me, of course!"

Wrong answer.

You spilled the coffee because there was coffee in your cup.

Had there been tea in the cup, you would have spilled tea.

*Whatever is inside the cup, is what will spill out.*

Therefore, when life comes along and shakes you (which WILL happen), whatever is inside you will come out. It's easy to fake it, until you get rattled.

*So we have to ask ourselves... “what's in my cup?"*

When life gets tough, what spills over?

Joy, gratefulness, peace and humility?

Or anger, bitterness, harsh words and reactions?

You choose!

Let's be intentional about filling our cups with gratitude, forgiveness, joy, words of affirmation; and kindness, gentleness and love for others.​
