Learning How To Live Life

I changed my mind. I don't need a break. What I need is to stop letting people who are NOT mods tell me what I can or can't post or how to post. So, good morning. Doing my tens therapy and breathing treatments. Got myself a Starbucks ice coffee and preparing to enjoy my day regardless of what is happening around me today.

I ended up laying down on the sofa last night and fell asleep watching tv. Then got up and went to bed just shortly after 11 and slept off and on til 10 this morning.

I have to go find out today if it's ok to report that a coworker is living with bed bugs and not telling the boss. I have to find out if it's a HIPAA violation since the person they live with was the patient and not them. They are knowingly not getting anything done about it and coming to work and hiding it. It can affect staff, visitors and patients since these things like to hitchhike. I certainly don't think anyone would appreciate getting them from this person. And if I come home with them and they spread to the other apt I can't afford to treat both and I doubt the landlord will help with that.

I watched the new episode of Tracker last night and it switched to Blue Bloods after that. I need to watch Watson tonight.
 
Good morning.
It's great to see you.

Lots of good ideas in your posts.
I enjoy reading what you share with us, here.
I agreed with what you wrote about pet peeves, yesterday. It got me to thinking about that entire concept. Musing about it, in my mind. Helped to clarify, for myself.

I'm glad that tens therapy is helping you.
You use it for your hands, specifically?
 
@Kaila mostly for my hands. Sometimes if I can reach I put them on my back. If anything else hurts I will likely use it there as well. It's not perfect for my hands but it helps a little.

As for the pet peeve thing...I think we spend too much time focused on stuff that other people do that bother us and we never take a breath and think about the things we might be doing that are irritating others. It's easy to complain but not as easy to look at ourselves and analyze our own flaws.
 
So last night I got out my fajita meat and the coconut aminos that is like soy sauce and mixed it with the minute rice and heated it all up. Also had some chicken potstickers with it. I spilled the ginger sauce so ended up using sweet and sour for the potstickers. I was ticked cuz I really wanted to try that ginger sauce.

As soon as I get to the 8 week mark on my earned time off I plan to call the ortho surgeon for a consult on my right hand. One of the girls I work with had it done and they pd $2700 of it with the insurance we have. She still owes $4,000+. I will hafta apply for assistance to pay mine off. Meanwhile the 24th can't get here fast enough for that shot. My left hand is just killing me.
 
we got a new lady yesterday. she's the mom of one of the other workers. never used to be allowed to work the same shifts as a relative but apparently that's ok now a days.

other than my hands the joint pain is starting to settle down some. wish the itching would too.

i have just been so tired these days.
