Usually in the morning like today, I wake up early like 5AM CST and make my hot tea and bagel for breakfast. Afterwards, I work on sharing on my online closet to keep up my required metrics and to help sales.
Since I have finished my British crime drama run of completing about 10 different shows in full like Piorot and others. My recommendations came from IMBD. Became tired of the Hallmark franchise because it, to me, didn’t reflect real life although it gave positive and hopeful thoughts that the “real” one is out there. Decided on Downton Abbey which is more intense and complex than I thought of the relationships with the family, the wait staff, and the people who visit. The most influential persons are the Matron of the house and her son who are both mature in age and in wisdom.
Regarding my friend who crashed her ex husband’s father’s funeral, I haven’t heard from her except for a comment I had made calling me something that I am not but likely what she was called at the funeral. My intuition is to keep my distance for awhile. She starts a new position soon with better pay and better hours which her doors will open. I am happy for her. My gut feeling is to stay away.
Unfortunately, my coworker who keeps going to the doctor and to many specialists because she believes that she is not well came back from a day off at the hospital.She was happy as a “lark” for the opportunity again. My coworkers don’t know that my Dad was a physician in the metro Detroit area years ago which I remember stories that he would tell. He came home being perplexed that a patient who keeps coming back who believed that she had all kinds of illnesses which my Dad’s nurses did the tests so he could determine the diagnosis. Then one day, her health provider called and reviewed my Dad’s practice for possible malpractice for doing these unneeded testing continuously although she requested it openly to the practice and to her healthcare provider, it was on my Dad’s practice because it obliged. Later on, she was encouraged to seek counseling about her need to be tested for various diseases. Afterwards, she visited less only when there was a true need. Because I don’t talk much at work and share even less, I don’t plan to share the above to my coworker.
As we get older, we have less tolerance for things in life that don’t matter. More of acceptance of things that we cannot change and having wisdom for the things that we can. Silence is working well for me in both situations.
Thank you again,
Leslie Elizabeth David.
