🤗 I appreciate that.

After mom passed I shut down for the last 2 yrs emotionally and physically. I am just now starting to feel a little better. Working on some health issues and some medical bills. I've had no car for the past yr. Been catching rides where I can. I just wanna start over and forget all the bad crap and start a new path.
 

Good to see you, I remember feeling sad when you left. I enjoyed your post very much. I feel like you kept us up to date on the gaming world. Do you still play?
I was never good at it but the son and his family are gamers.
 
Nice to see you here again, Marci. Overall the changes have worked in your favour now that you’re out of that kitchen.

Yes. But my Nintendo Switch consoles bit the dust. Been playing a few games on the Chromebook. I got Amazon Prime and I need to find another used controller and I can now play games on the Cloud service they have for free. They do a monthly rotation. I will hafta wait for Fortnite to come back around. Good to see you too.

That kitchen was pretty awful. This job is much more peaceful. I work alone for the most part. Don't have to interact as much and I'm allowed to actually be an adult and do my job without being micromanaged. Good to see you too Jules. 🤗
 
Marci, so happy to see you here! Made my morning to see you had been here. I was worried about you and wondered if you were okay. Glad to know that you are doing so much better. Sorry about you getting stuck with that needle. The hazards of working in healthcare are many but I think it is rewarding for some. I enjoyed my work as a CNA and have great memories of my residents. I hope you will be back again SOON!

I miss the nursing home settings frankly. I'm thinking after I get the car fixed and pd. off I'm gonna start lookin for something at a nursing home again. If the pay is decent and the benefits are good. I'm not sure yet. The landlord has been talkin about raising the rent $25 a year so I don't even know if I will stay in this city or not yet. But yes I'm ok. Thank you kat. 🤗

The neighbor lady moved this spring and the landlord has been working on her apt. He's been respecting my sleep schedule though which has been nice. I pray he'll find a quiet neighbor for me. I see in the newspaper the big 3 auto dealers are being threatened again or still with strikes from the workers. Between that and UPS and the issues with getting packages shipped across the oceans I'm not sure what is going to happen. No cars, no deliveries. It's craziness. I started on a latch hook project. I keep forgetting to work on it. LOL! I finally got a sleep test and I'm on CPAP therapy. Having some mask issues. Been fiddling with things trying to get it comfortable.

Getting ready for work. Have a great day!

Hi @MarciKS Long time no see! I've been thinking of you and wondering how you are now. Yes, that grief can be a beast. I'm so glad you are feeling better 🤗 I hope you have a good time here!

It has taken me a while to recover. For two years I basically just existed. Didn't really clean house or cook much. Cleaned the necessities and microwaved everything. Before Labor Day I tried to clean. Got two rooms done. Gave up cuz things got kinda overwhelming at work. Then Labor Day weekend I spent from Friday night to Sunday night and cleaned the entire house top to bottom.

The dust bunnies under the box spring were the size of mice. I nearly died when I saw that. LOL! The housekeeping job is less stressful but very physically demanding. Some nights I can barely walk out of work. So on my days off I don't do much. I let my body rest.

I have a feeling I will be starting diabetes meds next mo. after I see my primary. Once the car is running I want to go back to using the hospital gym treadmill again. I found some videos of virtual walks I can walk with on my tablet via YouTube. Hope you're doggy is better and hope you're doin alright.

Glad you like your newer job. I used to do housecleaning for 10 years. I liked that nobody was looking over my shoulder all the time.

I hope your health gets better. I've had diabetes type 2 for 5 years now and have controlled it without medication. My A1C went down to normal.

I need to do more cleaning after my 🏸 birdie died last week. I miss her but nothing will change the fact that she is gone 😭. I haven't put her stuff away yet and don't know when I will. When you truly love a being and no matter what they are or what size your heart will ache as long as it takes to feel better. RIP baby Jasmine.


YouTube sure has a lot of good stuff on it. I've been watching videos of all over the world accompanied by sweet music 🎶🎵.


Best to you dearie!💗
 
I got Amazon Prime this year. Pretty steep price for the membership for a year. But there's a lot I can use here. I'm watching Schitts Creek tonight. LOL!

I've been taking advantage of the one and two day shipping. I wait til the stuff is going to arrive on my day off before I order it. That way it doesn't get stolen.

@Ruthanne I like working alone my whole shift except when we team out certain areas. I don't hardly hafta talk to anyone or see daylight much which is awesome. Go to work at 3 pm and get home around 11:30 or midnight. I got to bed at 4 am and wake at noon.

Sometimes I fall asleep in front of the computer. LOL

Good night everyone.
 
After work tonight I plan to start a text based RPG game called TORN. I don't know if I'll like it but I'm gonna give it a try. It says it takes time to get it figured out and learn to play so I'll just hafta stick with it.

Working this weekend. Last night we were holding 15 in the ER. Hopefully it will be less congested today.

Have a great day!
 
It's been a day. People puking everywhere. I'm glad it's over. Hoping the start of the new week tomorrow will bring more joy. LOL!

Made some avatars for a chatter on another site this evening. Gonna have dinner and watch some more Schitts Creek.
 
Good morning.

I couldn't sleep any longer so I got up and started this text based role playing game online that's free called TORN. So far it looks pretty interesting. I started my character's life there. I have a shack and work for a grocer and I'm taking a self defense class and I bought a lollipop for happiness and a hammer for basic protection. LOL! There's a forum for the game and a Discord server. Quite a bit to the game from what I can see.

Having some coffee and planning to order pizza after a bit. Still sleepy.
 
So far I got some clothing for my character from the dump. All I need now is a mask with hair. I am working on my training and I got attacked by another noobie and hospitalized in the game. LOL! It's an odd game but strangely entertaining. Total time suck. :ROFLMAO: I am now waiting to get my energy back so I can attack him with my hammer. LOL!
 
Morning. Working today. Trying to figure out this new game. My character got attacked yesterday and I didn't know til it was over. Not sure if I hafta complete the self defense education first or what. LOL! I tried to attack my attacker and I was hospitalized in game again. :ROFLMAO:

Found a sweater at the dump for my character today. Still no hair yet. Imagine a store mannequin in a ball cap, sweater, leggings and sneakers with no face or hair. LOL! There's a mask with hair on it that's supposed to be an old woman. I want that. I also want her to become a big crime boss I think. LMBO!

There are factions I can join. I haven't looked at any of those. It's just kinda hilarious. It is a game that requires patience that some don't have I think. I got nothin but time so I'm gonna make the best of it.

I am tired today. I woke about an hr. earlier than normal.

Have a great day!

no. lol! in game i'm currently a bag boy at a grocer. there's training you can do to get stronger and more efficient in fights plus i'm taking a self defense course on there. then once that is complete i might do the finance course. you have a life bar, happiness bar, nerve bar (meaning if you've got the nerve to pull something off) and an energy bar. they replenish on their own every so often. there's factions to join and a casino and shops and all kinds of stuff. a newspaper. a forum. it's pretty interesting for a text based game.
