Learning How To Live Life

It's only quarter of 8 and it's already been a day here at work. I'm ready to go home. LOL
 

Well, I tried my best to play the new Sims 4 game but it's not very user friendly. I got into build mode to purchase a radio for my sim and was unable to get out of it. Frankly I'm not impressed with it at all. Also getting absolutely nowhere with Palia. I already uninstalled the Sims game and I'm thinking of letting Palia go as well.

If I make a Ubisoft account for free I can purchase some of the older Assassin's Creed games and play those I think. My tv is big enough to see what I'm doing now. LOL! It's hard to follow a character in a game on a 4 inch screen.

I have some other games added to my wishlist. I'm hoping they'll come out with some better games in the future. I've looked at other consoles and xbox seems to offer games that cost less. They have lots of sales too. Some games that are $50 will drop to $15 if I wait. 😁

Yesterday was horrible at work. We keep getting patients with terrible bed bugs. That Orkin guy has been here this summer more than he ever has. We have been having issues in our ER that are going to be getting turned in to risk management soon. IDK what's happening but they're getting very careless in there.

There is a % number for blood contamination during blood draws and on their white board there is a message written that they have exceeded this for some reason which is a little startling. They are putting biohazard stuff in the wrong recepticles where our trash people could get hurt and contaminated by things.

It is chilly out right now. They say the high will be 74. I guess we'll see. I opened the door to peek out at the weather and a black, fuzzy spider with a red dot on his back was in the doorway between the screen and inside door. Likely looking to walk in but he got flicked onto the porch by a giant finger. Then for good measure he was suddenly smashed by a large, pink fly swatter. LOL! (I don't do bugs unless it's lady bugs, roly pollies or butterflies.)
 

Wish I could call in today. Ugh! I do not want to have to go in and listen to those girls blather on about the bugs again. I've been trying to stay on top of the dusting but things have been so hectic this weekend that I've only had time to pull trash and wipe some things down and mop. The rest of the rooms were full.

I'll probably get another game tonight and maybe do some playing. I wanted to get Assassin's Creed but I have to make a Ubisoft account and download this one app to my laptop which I don't really have room for. Plus there's no guarantee it will run on my Chromebook. It's so I can link the Xbox to the account so I can play the game I am purchasing.

So I'm not doing that. There might be another solution since the necessary app is already on the xbox. However last night while trying to set up an account it kept telling me my passwords were weak to medium. And I was using strong passwords from a generator. So, IDK. I haven't made up my mind if I wanna try it or not. I'm not that technical so it's iffy for me. My only other option is Elder Scrolls Skyrim which I'm not really interested in.

I had to laugh cuz I was watching Young Sheldon last night and him and his meemaw were playing video games and she was loving it. LOL!
 
Assassin's Creed took 8 minutes to download. I didn't realize that Fortnite and Apex Legends are 40-60 GB each which is why it took 2-3 hrs to download.

The hobbit game is fun so far. I might get Minecraft and just use creative mode. see what I can design.

I'm taking a break to shower and clean my cpap equipment and start some wash. Then it's back to the shire! 😁
 
I spent some more time in the shire. I messed up a quest and I'll hafta redo it. But that's ok.

I played some Coffee Talk and some Spirittea. Gonna take a break and watch tv for a bit.

Anyone else noticing SF being slow to load?
 
they have ruined fortnite. i don't even want to play it anymore. the maps are terrible. too much cheating going on. the other shooter i had i can't control the recoil on the weapons so i'm just over it. i'm gonna play other stuff instead.

i found enough games to keep me busy for a while.

the internet is still wonky so paramount plus has been kinda iffy.

night
 
the little hobbit game is adorable. i think i'll enjoy that one. hopefully i can fix the boo boo i made with my first quest. lol!

i've been so tired as of late. not sure why. by the time i get home from work i'm too tired to do much. anymore i just turn on streams til i fall asleep with them. maybe it's an age thing. Or maybe the COPD is just wearing me out more. IDK.

Less than a month til vacation. I pray I can make it without getting sick. I really want to just kick back and rest. The first week of Nov. we will be getting our raises. Our whole 25 cents. :rolleyes: They make money hand over fist there. I think they could afford to pay us better if they wanted to.

I hope there's no bed bug rooms today. I'm sick of that right now at work.
 
Not having a good day. I'm cleaning 2 more bed bug rooms and there's one for tomorrow already.

Also did a cdiff room and there's another one yet. Either late tonight or tomorrow.

I want very much to go home.
 
Today unless the Orkin guy got there early, I will have another room to clean for bed bugs. Orkin guy said yesterday they've already spent $6,000 this past week alone. They usually spend $30,000 a yr. on them. He told me yesterday they're gonna put up a power point class for the nursing staff to educate them better on the bugs.

Just in case they're freaking out and not properly identifying them either. So the nursing staff is running around spraying 70% alcohol on everything thinking that's gonna help. It's only for direct contact. And once it's dry it stops working. Plus it's a fire hazard.

I have a headache this morning and I'm not looking forward to work at all. There was a lot I wasn't able to get done last night cuz I ran out of time.

I decided I'm gonna keep trying to get off of caffeine. I think I have restless leg syndrome and caffeine makes that worse. Plus I tend to be calmer and have less anxiety with decaf or caffeine free products. Maybe I'll sleep better since the Roflumilast makes it difficult to sleep without my Melatonin.

I wanted to play video games last night but I was too pooped.
 
having a little coffee this morning to stave off the headache as i adjust. i will be getting decaf tea bags this weekend and making the switch to all tea. hopefully by then i'll be all decaf and caffeine free. it shouldn't take long to adjust since i was only having a couple sodas a day and a coffee or tea in the mornings. i drink mostly water now.

i'm getting tired as we near the end of the week. really gonna try to get the bedroom and bathroom cleaned this weekend. then i'll shoot for the other half of the house the next time i have a weekend off. one of the hospitialists at work the other night said i could count the house work as exercise rather than overdoing it. i told him i just don't have the energy for both with the copd now.

some people live life so unprepared. yesterday a gal in the registration office had some post nasal drip that was making her cough and giving her a sore throat. rather than bring lozenges with her or pick some up along the way to work, she had nothing. so i bought her a small bag at the outpatient pharmacy for like $2.50. sheesh!

i wonder what's in the cafeteria tonight. ugh! i just looked. chicken strips again. i had a hard time getting along with the food service staff when i worked there cuz they were so mean and hateful. lots of employees like that here but anyway, this kid they hired that i don't even know asks me about working with certain employees from 4 yrs ago.

i know it's cuz they're talking about me because he wasn't there he doesn't know me or one of the employees he was asking about. it was making me mad because it was like he was trying to drag up drama from the past in a time that was very unpleasant for me. he does this every time i come in to eat so last night i told him i wasn't comfortable answering his questions.

and that i felt like it was very inappropriate for him to even be asking these things. i sent an email to the bosses in food service asking them to touch base with him and tell him to knock it off. they may just ignore me idk. that's part of why i left because of that kind of foolishness.

there are some in housekeeping that are hard to get along with but it's easier for me to avoid them and ignore them when i don't see them except for a few minutes at the beginning and end of the shift. i hate working with people that act like school girls. lol!

last night one of the guys that cleans found a huge recluse spider and he freaked out and climbed on a recliner in the infusion area and called a friend to help come kill it. i told him i wasn't afraid of spiders so if he ever needed help he could call me too. lol! it was funny but i understand how he feels. i don't like cicadas. they freak me out.

it's only gonna be 69 today and it might rain later tonight. tomorrow will be 57 for a high with rain. i don't see much fall-like change in the trees yet. :(

I'm back. Some of you might not like that. But, I'm trying to make changes in my life for the better. I'm hoping for another chance to make some friends on here. So we'll see. All I can do is hope.
AKA MarciKS. I have no clue what my sign in info was from before so, that's why I have the new name. Plus it's nice to start fresh.

For those of you who posted nice comments on my other diary after I left, I appreciate it. Thank you. I've missed some of you.

I just got out of the hospital yesterday afternoon. I've been in the hospital twice now since last November. First time was with pnuemonia/respiratory failure. This time I had a bacterial infection/respiratory failure. Good fun. LOL! I'm home resting and will return to work Tuesday with a little more wear and tear.

They finally got us a new pulmonologist and he's stated he would like to see me get a job that's less physically demanding. So, if things go well, I plan to look for a desk job starting in 2026. I think it's time to hang up my hard working shoes for something a little less tiring. I don't want to but, my body isn't going to put up with much more.

I've had no car for couple years now I think. I'm getting to know the Uber drivers pretty good. *Giggles*

After mom's funeral in 2021 my brother and his wife quit talking to me along with some of the other family members. Father and I tried to build a relationship but it just didn't work out. He was being abusive again and I decided it was no longer a fruitful venture. So, I made the painful decision to go no contact. It was what was best for me. I am finally starting to heal and live life.

I have information on several jobs I could get that don't require degrees or experience. Ones I'd probably enjoy. I have no issues with working at a computer all day. I'm on mine all the time at home.

I hope every one is doing well. And I hope we can start again.
