Sorry to hear of health issues and worries. Bobbi, I’m happy to do some medical research for you if I can help.
I went out yesterday for my haircut and we ran some errands afterward. A couple of times I had to stay in the car as I was just too exhausted to go in, which really sucks. (I think it’s post-Covid fatigue.) I had a little more energy when I got home and we straightened out a little, vacuumed, did laundry, fed the dogs, etc. My sleep is off, too, which doesn’t help. Nor does the grayness and cold and rain for the past few days. We’ll see how today goes. So far it’s seeming like a bit of a lazy day. I haven’t even had coffee yet.
Oh, I did manage to go into one second hand store which we like to browse, and I found a commemorative plate from Diana and Charles’ wedding for just $3, which sort of made my day. (Big Diana fan.) I put it on display at home next to my Queen Elizabeth II commemorative plate which I bought last year after she passed. (She and my mother were the same age/era, Mom was a few months older. But their hair and dress styles were similar - no crown jewels for Mom but everyday clothes, lol. I enjoy watching film of the queen during the war years as that was such a significant time for them and although I’ve heard many stories about those days from Mom, I have very few if any pictures of her from then - I have more of Dad from the Army.)
Last night we watched some more shows about the royal family and their castles which we had started last week (and have watched before, but we are newly subscribed to a different BBC channel that has some good ones), then we ended with watching the movie The Madness of King George, as we’d figured out from some of the other shows what he probably had in today’s terms of illnesses. We enjoyed it. We’d eaten out for lunch and weren’t too hungry for dinner so we just had some tortilla chips with mango salsa in the evening. We’re going to watch some more tonight that DH fell asleep during the other night. And DH will be making the Greek Lemon Chicken with roasted potatoes and string beans, which has become a favorite. We were craving a turkey dinner but it seemed like too much work. (DH had been sick, too, and is also fatigued. Ugh.) We’ll probably have the shrimp for lunch today as we have to use it up.
DD had a ‘breakfast‘ first date this morning. The guy she went out with had originally suggested drinks, but seemed relieved when she said she really doesn’t drink and didn’t want to drive after drinking, etc., and he said he doesn’t either, but it seems like that’s what people usually do. I’m amazed at how different dating is today than it was in our day. I think the online format has both pros and cons. It’s kind of funny how many people she knows on the dating app she’s using. So far there are several people who have liked her profile who she’s not interested in dating (including a previous boyfriend), and one person she’d like to date who didn’t like her back (despite her just seeing him at a Christmas party and his running over to talk to her, etc.). So weird! I would love for her to just meet someone the old fashioned way. That generation doesn’t seem to talk to people as much, they’re more comfortable with social media. I mean, she talks to people, she’s a nurse! But making small talk in a social setting is sort of difficult for them.
I can’t remember if I told you she had a date with a different guy a week or so ago and he pulled out his phone about ten times during their meal and would barely make eye contact. Also showed up on a bicycle because he didn’t have a car! (She was looking for him in a car and didn’t realize he’d pulled up on a bike!
) He wanted to go out again but she didn’t. He seemed sort of surprised. As I said, weird!
DS is working at the hospital tonight, I’m sure it will be hopping and crazy in the ER! He left late last night because so many people were sundowning he had to stay to help get them settled. Just praying he stays safe.
Enjoy this Sunday, and Happy New Year, everyone!
Family members have had those and it was scary, but both ended up OK, so I'm hopeful things will turn out well for you too.
extra to all of you extra this last day of 2023. Healing prayers Bobbi and to all in need both physically and of the heart or both--I think in some way each of us fit into both. I thank God daily for His blessing of connecting us all as His Quacker family and keeping us close. I am so thankful for each of you. I was thinking earlier, that I just believe in my heart God willing somehow this coming 2024 I will get to meet at least of you! AuntieMe3 and LuckyRabbit are local. I would of course love to meet either or both those lovely ladies along with any of the rest of you. What an extra blessing that would be. Good thought 
We are strong, resilient, determined, kind, and caring people. Many wishes that beautiful things fall into place in a thousand little ways we never expect during the new year.
but I should !
