Mar. 14th, 2023 05:46 pmToday, my co-workers surprised me - with birthday treats. (My birthday was last week). They gave me a card that they all signed, gluten free cookies (which were really good - I had five - and give the rest away), a key chain and a little makeup bag or put things in travel bag, with flowers on it.
It was exceedingly kind. And completely unexpected. Also instigated by AM who is possibly among the kindest and most generous people that I've met in my working life. Mel got the cookies. I've managed to bond with my co-workers over the past few years of hell.
I am grateful. So far, 2023 is much better than 2022. (Granted it didn't have to try that hard. The last three years have kind of set the bar pretty low in that regard.)
This is by the way the first time anyone has done this sort of thing in my current workplace. I've been there fifteen years and not had it happen. I'd given up.
It made this cloudy gray day, with spotty snow flurries, a lot easier to get through.

Luckily my blood sugar came down. It went up to 207, but now it's back down to 110. So all is good. I still wonder if my thyroid is involved.

Finished watching Triangle of Sadness last night which is an odd movie. Clearly a satire. Not at all how the academy awards described it.
It goes over the top at times. And it's slow, pacing wise. I got bored during it.
When it finally, finally got interesting - it ended. Abruptly. I thought, damn, just when things were starting to get interesting. It ends. (As an aside, I've not been sleeping well - wrestling with bouts of insomina. But last night - the lighter quilt helped. However- still didn't sleep well and as a result literally falling asleep at the wheel. I think my brain thought - oh home, comfortable, nap time.)
Anyhow, Triangle of Sadness is not a flim to watch when sleepy or annoyed.
The title refers to the triangle between the eyes and nose, at the top end it. It's the section of the face that modeling coordinators want you to flatten to keep your face expresssionless.
