31-Day Challenge Day 15:An embarrassing story

This is the easiest post yet. I’m not going to share an embarrassing story. I’ve dealt with enough grief and trauma from these events and I’m not going to put myself through that again!

It’s been a stressful day at work. And I’m still not 100%!

Until tomorrow have a great day!

Ugh sinuses: headache to migraine and a funky bug

I’m sick. My interim regional manager sent me home earlier. I actually had the 4 hour PTO time.

JiJi did come and helped me fall asleep for a while. Patrick went out and got me stuff for the horrible coughing I’ve got. Sinuses draining. I don’t have a fever. I just feel awful! I talk to much and I lose my voice. While this sounds amusing, it’s anything but. And it hurts. He went out while I was asleep and got me cough syrup, throat lozenges and 7 Up.

He also picked up dinner and dessert. He says I’ll like both. Now I’m tucked in bed and I’m to lie here and blog, read, watch Tubi tv or play my cat game.

Until later have a great day!

JiJi and my Kleenex

Vaccinate

Okay, I’ve got a lot of people I know that are getting really bad respiratory infections, that are causing them to lose work and put other people in jeopardy of acquiring their illness! Covid is still a thing! In fact, Indianapolis is still on high Covid Watch as it’s getting bad again! Why? Because people are not vaccinating and not wearing masks when they are ill!! Ugh

Vaccinations do not hurt!
We, hubs and I, have been vaccinated for Influenza and Covid and have had two or is it now 3 booster vaccinations. Keep yourself, your family, and your friends, safe, VACCINATE!

The vacation wasn’t long enough

I had my perk day, and then we had the day after Thanksgiving off and I wasn’t on call this past weekend, so I had a five-day vacation that only cost me 4 hours of PTO (Personal Time Off) for the 4 hours I left early on Tuesday to kick start my vacay! I mean c’mon who wouldn’t have done that?

I came back to work with yet another surprise, my new supervisor went into labor last Tuesday and started Maternity leave so I’m back to doing what I originally used to do on the inpatient unit. NO big! I got it! I just don’t like the overbearing rude Insurance person that always, ALWAYS gets away with being Rude, Overbearing, and impertinent. Why? Because “Oh that’s just her, don’t take issue with it!” DUDE! if I did what she does to me, I’d be written up and possibly fired, so how does she get away with it, seriously, no one wants her job!! That’s the bottom line! UGH

Then I’m receiving text messages from people that aren’t getting the message that I’m at work and I’m busy, and then I’m getting phone calls from support staff, “You’re not busy and I have a question I need to be answered.” Right, okay, you can talk to the overbearing rude person when I don’t get this work done before noon! Thankfully, it’s 11:40 and I got the documentation done for her.

I’ve been having some severe chest pains and I have to use the bathroom but the stress of being yelled at takes precedence over holding it. And I know the chest pains are from the situation too! I’ve gotten my Nitroglycerin out though, just in case! I don’t know how I can explain to them that I have to reduce my stress! and being yelled at is not a good way to reduce my stress! HR doesn’t GAF, they work for the company! So, suck it up buttercup!

I’ve written in my gratitude journal, and I’m looking forward to lunch to use my other coping apps! Oh, and yeah, I forgot to grab lunch, so crackers it is. 😉 I’m grateful I have crackers, which is better than having nothing. See, I know how to use my gratitude skill. And I think my blood pressure might be lessening. I need to go see the med clinic nurses for my vitals.

Until later, go check out the new social media app that is intended to be the new Twitter, but honestly in my opinion it is much better than Twitter ever was! Most of the people I’ve interacted with it are respectful and friendly. Don’t get me wrong there are what I refer to as children, not mature adults, too! You can report them but with only 3 people currently employed, I just use the BLOCK button! That’s satisfying in my opinion. LOL 😀

I’ll try to update this later with my vitals for my information and for those that truly care. I know that this is another form of social media and that not everyone that reads it, cares for the writer. I’m not that narcissistic. LOL 😀

UPDATE: I was unable to get my vitals done, as I have a job to do and when I was able to see them, they were gone for the day! oops! I didn’t need my nitroglycerin after all. 😉

Happy Pride 🌈 month

I’m still trying to come to terms after a few conversations with my provider on Thursday. Yesterday, I had some chest pains. Today I’ve been tired 😓 it’s an effort to do anything. I need to eat and I just can’t think 🤔 at the moment. I miss food delivery and no, I’m not paying extreme money for door dash 😳 I’ll just have to get up and push through like I always do! 

Happy Heart Day <3

As someone that has had 2 heart attacks, 4 strokes, multiple TIA’s (mini strokes) and a Triple Bypass Surgery this is a pretty important day for me! I’m currently using a Rollator from the VA the F22 Rollator, not to be confused with the F22 Raptor- a wicked jet! 🙂 And hey, check it out, I still have my Smart Assy sense of humor or as I call it, my SASSY sense of humor! 🙂

I had a stroke on Saturday after excessive stress compounded by the loss of my mother on September 21, 2021. That’s why there were no posts about having a Blessed Mabon. We did go to Indianapolis on Saturday, September 25th to go see others of our Spiritual Preference-Wiccans and that was when I was noticing the symptoms. Patrick was driving and decided, “Hey, look we’re close to the VA.” so off we went.

I have Follow-Up Appointments this Friday and Monday! For my heart issues and my Vertigo issues. Patrick wants me to have an MRI or CAT scan done… I’ll let him talk to my providers and see what they say.

If you’re smoking, overweight and/or Diabetic please know you’re at higher risk of heart related issues.
I quit smoking 4 years ago and it is easier to breathe. I have been working on re-losing my weight, I gained some back after the surgery. And I’m definitely watching my blood sugar, A1C and exercising more. By exercising I mean walking. No more strenuous activity for me. I can’t find a local Tai Chi or Yoga group in this area!!! 😦

Take Care of yourself and go get your Covid Vaccinations! I’ve had both and I just got my Booster yesterday! Day before I got my influenza vaccination! I’m up to date on my immunizations!! woot!

Hello 👋🏻

Oh it’s been an interesting month. 2 Cardiac Events, event because IMO they weren’t a heart attack but it felt pretty damn close. The doc at the ED thinks I’m having TIA’s again. Aka mini strokes. <sarcasm alert 🚨 > NICE!

So I’m having to reduce my stressors! Nuh huh! My job this week is nothing but stressors. Oh well I’ll be doing mini meditation 🧘🏼‍♀️ when possible and definitely reading!

Hubs is not amused! 😒 he’s keeping an eye on me and sending me cat 🐈‍⬛ 🐈‍⬛ pix!

He reports they’re keeping him in bed for their amusement. I almost buy that. 😂

Have an awesome day! Namaste 🙏🏻

Quick update

Hey All sorry I haven’t been here much, honestly, I have taken time off Social Media sites, fakebook, instagram, liker, twitter and tumblr. I know that Word press is not a social media site however, when I sign onto the computer for anything other than work, well, it’s tempting to go to the other sites. So, that’s why no new blog entries.  Work, by the way, has been busy- which in my line of work, isn’t the thing I want to hear. But people are getting help, so, that is awesome!!

Plus, I have had an issue with my health, I know, right, what is new? LOL I have to laugh, honestly.

More medication adjustments, and some other new stuff and referrals for tests, I really don’t want. but eh, it is what it is!

The Good News it’s been over two years since I quit smoking people!! WooHOO! The anniversary date was July 23! Coming up on August 23 will be the two year anniversary of my open-heart surgery. And July 23 was also the anniversary of my 2 heart attack, hey, I survived it! and my open heart surgery!! I show my scar with pride! *High Five*

I will attempt to do an Alex’s Geeky Corner, soon, I have actually written one out- longhand, I just need to find the time to get it typed up with the artwork. 😉 You know my character, she loves modeling!! lol 😀

Namaste and have a beautiful day!

 

Hello

Has anyone missed me? lol 😉

I’ve been dealing with sinus issues and sinus migraines along with depression and anxiety issues. I’ve finally found something that has been helping with both, but really, REALLY HELPS with my anxiety!!! OMG! something that works!! Yep!

I’ve also attempted to share IOTD’s but by the time I can get to them it’s the middle of the night and eh, I lost interest. lol Hey, at least I’m honest. 😀

I’m not guaranteeing that I’ll be more active, but I will attempt to be. Hopefully after my appointments this week, I’ll feel more like being active!

And it’s MY Favorite time of year!! FALL! AUTUMN! yes, some of us prefer this time of year to the others! I’m one of them!!

Namaste! 

 

No one wanted free stuff??

It surprises me that ppl no longer read an article to the end, if they had and left an answer, they would have received a FREE color of their choice, within reason of course and my TOC! But no one replied and it’s been over a week, so they missed out.  No skin off my nose!

I’ve also been doing a lot of culling the herd on Facebook and I’m feeling better mentally and physically with the lack of negative ppl on my friend list. I went from over 4900 something initially before the facebook bots removed ppl down to 4000 and then down to 3909 when I deleted the last of the die-hard trumpanzees, I couldn’t talk with them- due to threats, being called names, etc. Yes, I’m a liberal!! No, I’m not a lib-tard or a snowflake. People that call me names, that shows me the level of their intelligence and I’m done with ppl that can’t communicate properly or with courtesy! So now I’m down to 2694, meaning I’ve deleted 1215 ppl! And the culling continues apace!

Also a minor thing upset me this week, I was, notice WAS showing my work in progress pix as I would get to a certain point! Well someone shared those WIP’s and without my signature!! Why did I get upset enough to delete that post! Well, because I’ve had my colors used without my permission- “I made it look better!” NO ASSHOLE YOU DARKENED IT UP!
I’ve had my work stolen they erased my name and put theirs on it! OR they take the WIP put their fucking name on it and then attempt to filter it up and put it on their Deviant Art page!!
and the piece I shared, I had NOT gotten the artist’s permission to post it!!! FUCK! Way to kill my reputation for getting artist permission!! Dude!!! FFS! think first!!

So next time you read Alexandria’s corner piece, you might want to pay attention to the whole article and not skim it! Imma just sayin.
