Learning How To Live Life

Good morning and thank you. This was nice to wake up to. I have tears in my eyes. I am home and happily drinking coffee in my underwear. The way God intended. 😁

I slept like a log and when I got up to pee I felt like the walking dead. LOL! A little applesauce and yogurt for breakfast. Trying to wake up enough to play video games.

I have a hard time swallowing a whole Acetominiphin pill and cutting them in half was a bad idea. I cut the second one into fourths and had no trouble swallowing them. I'm trying to get off the Aleve so I can get some Voltaren to try for my arthritis hands. Can't use it and take Aleve at the same time. The outpatient pharmacy at work has Voltaren in a larger tube for less money than what it costs at the Walmart. I will give it a try. I need to put my trash out but I'm not stickin a piggy toe outside.

I got the heat cranked to chase off the chill from the air leaks in the apt and wrapped in my blankie. It feels good to be home. Once I wake up more I will call in a couple prescriptions and take the shower I didn't take last night. Then probably start playing my video games.

Um, whose Kate? :ROFLMAO:

Lol! I know. I was looking for your birthday pic, and had a senior moment. :) I don't know who Kate is, but I loved the picture!!

We haven't talked much, and I have recently started reading your posts.... A fanciful coincidence occurred. You spell Marci like my first wife and then I found out your birthday. I am an astrologer for decades, and the day of the year we were born is informative for me. Yours is Jan. 26th, my ex's is Jan. 24th.

Don't worry, I won't get you all confused I hope. :)
 
Well you guys might be interested to know that Marci is letters from my first and middle names and nickname. They're just blended together.

@Paco Dennis I will forgive you but just this once. :ROFLMAO: Only kidding.

I played some Call of Duty today but I've decided I just don't care for it. I played a couple solo matches of Fortnite. Lost the first one big time. The second one I came in 4th place. I tried though. I had several kills for that game. I think 3 or 4. It was cool. I couldn't find anyone to play with so it's my understanding that Elder Scrolls: Skyrim and Cyberpunk 2077 are single player games.

I downloaded those and will play Cyberpunk in a bit for the first time. I'm letting the xbox rest a bit. It kinda annoys me when people add me to their friends list then when they see me log on they go into away mode. I'm like whatever. I'll play by myself. I am considering getting halo infinite because it has single player mode as well.

Had a pretty decent birthday. Wasted the day away.
 
I decided not to download Skyrim for right now. I downloaded Halo Infinite cuz there's a single player campaign. It looked kinda fun. I started on Cyberpunk last night and my first order of business is to steal a car for a bookie? OMG! LOL! I gotta try to find the tutorial in the game.

Might start on that tonight. I can manually save it wherever in game which is good. Fortnite had a Pirate's of the Caribbean bundle with the Jack Sparrow character. Even the emote of his stupid run LOL! So I got that yesterday. I might play with my friends tonight. I'm not sure yet. Depends on how tired I am.

A couple days this week I hafta train someone in my area. I hate training. But I make them do hands on so they know what to do. This gal knows but things are different in the ER than in other parts of the hospital. So I will work with her and hopefully she won't be sh***y to me. She isn't nice to one of the other old ladies they work with. And if her bestie decides to come down to help I have to find a way to send her away. POLITELY. Not my forte.

Still very cold outside. But not as bad in the house.
 
Marci, I'm glad you dropped in.
I thought of another idea for you.
You could ask the person you're training, to wait on you, bring your supper, etc.

No, on 2nd thought,
not a good suggestion.

😊😁☺️
 
Morning. So last night I was changing out the trash on my cleaning cart and heard this noise and I look over into the room across from me and this poor guy is half on and half off the bed and he's seizing out. So I bolted for the nurses station to tell them he was in trouble. Luckily they didn't say to me "Oh he's fine" cuz I would've went off. He had turned a different color...almost a dark gray I wanna say.

They got him stable and took him to a trauma room then he got transferred out to an ICU somewhere. If I hadn't been there he could've died. Cuz nobody else was around or paying attention. It wound up my anxiety cuz it scared me so I took my pill and sat in the closet and cried a little. Sounds stupid but that's too much excitement for me. LOL! I have no idea how long he'd been like that before I saw him. Hope he's ok.

Anyway, I've tried BenGay and Voltaren and my finger on my right hand still hurts. It hurts 24/7 now. So I called to make an appt. with the ortho doc. I'm hoping he can do something for me. I don't know what but I can't keep this up. It's too painful.

I looked up income tax on $20,000 here and I'm hoping since they took $5,000 out that I shouldn't hopefully owe anymore but IDK. My annual income will be a little over $50,000 so I'm a little worried.

Ended up not playing any Fortnite with my friends last night. I just wasn't up to it. Too tired. Not sure I'll play tonight. We'll see. They play better and get more wins without me. Plus, the new season of School Spirits starts tonight. I weighed myself yesterday at work. I was 193. I just don't feel like eating much anymore. I couldn't even finish my chicken tettrazini and sweet potatoes last night.

I needed to sleep more but my hand was bothering me so bad. I finally just got up. I have an appt. with the ortho doc on the 5th of Feb. I've been getting these entree dinners from Marie Callender's. They're enough to eat with a little dessert like yogurt or applesauce or a granola bar.

Definitely training today unless she calls in sick. :rolleyes: I really don't like training people but someone has to. They hafta have someone who can work when I can't. They had 3 new hires in last night so hopefully that will help.

Good job helping that patient!

Hope training goes as well as it might.

Your quick action probably saved a life or at least gave him a chance. Thank you.
 
Thanks for sharing with us, how you helped that man, Marci.

Very good that you rushed to alert them, even though they have often not responded well to your communications with them.

About your fingers/hand pain.

Did you try those arthritis gloves?

Have you tried wearing Any stretchy gloves, that would give a slight compression effect?

Or if not I would try wrapping. Preferably a stretchy wrapping, or any fabric wrapping around them. I'm surprised how it sometimes helps nerve pain.... sending a different sensory message to neural pathways......
