WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR FEBRUARY 2023

Debbie--Sure hope you are feeling better.
Belinda--My DH had lots of issues with the Covid shots and we went to every kind of doctor and the one that was the most help was Rheumatoglist . He is getting better, but it is slow and every so often it feels like he is going backwards. One day at at time. I always thought short hair dogs would not shed and then we got Jake a pug. Even cleaning the floors everyday there seem to be hair every where. Now that he is gone I sure do miss the hair, and him.
Katla--HUGS!! I agree we know who you are and it doesn't matter what MFP says your name it.
Rebecca--Sending hugs and prayers that DYS contacts you when he is stateside.
The weekend just flew by. Saturday I did not get into the basement, but got things done for the new month. Then yesterday we went to church. In the afternoon we planned to go to the movie (Jesus Revolution). We were in line and they sold out just in front of us. So some of our group got to go and they rest of us brought tickets for the next one early evening. Glad we did as they sold out also. It was a very good movie and a true story. They showed the actual people and an update at the end.

Welcome newbies and returnees! (((hugs))) to those who need them.

Kylia, again, I swear, we are sisters-from-another-mister! Ohio you say? Apparently I'm from SC via GA and MI, so who knows! (I'm adopted and my adopted bro is putting together my tree as we speak, but it's rather convoluted, I guess. Oh well, I'm just not that interested, TBH. Back to the point
"I apparently need to adjust my expectations." OMG!!! My problem is that no one knows how to do my job, so I can't expect anyone to pick up the slack and I'm okay with that. What I expect, as you say is that, they do their jobs (that effect my job) correctly and timely! I expect coworkers to take pride in their job. I expect that when I send them an email asking for information or something to be done, that they respond or do it. Apparently, I need to adjust my expectations.

Thanks for the list Rita!

I think PTSD rears it's ugly head at all sorts of things, Machka! Sounds, times, events, smells, "nothings"... I'll see an Excel Energy truck driving down the road one day and I'll just smile, another day and the tears won't stop. Shawn was on his way to work for them when he was killed. I told someone about him today and it was just a "story", sometimes I can't tell it without breaking down. PTSD comes in waves, I suppose like any other trauma or loss.

THERE'S a good idea that Carol has, Katla!!! Ask any one of the young nurses! (when things are a little slow) They're all so good at figuring out online stuff. But, have them show you what they're doing so maybe you can remember.

Oh Rosemarie, I am so very, very sorry for your loss. Sending you my love and prayers for comfort and peace. So glad you and your son and DIL were there.

27-Send or leave a handwritten thank you note to someone... easy-peasy, I actually do this every Monday.
Love and Blessings, Carla, in MN
