Yesterday, I posted about RNY and my alcohol use when traveling. Today, I am just going to randomly post what comes to mind. I am 66 so often many things come to mind. I was home cleaning house checking emails and Facebook today. I did not see news. I was shocked when my husband asked me what did I think about "that carrier" and I told him I did not know. He started saying that the Letter Carrier was texting his wife. My first thoughts were that he was injured because he was inatentive. No, the Letter Carrier died Saturday. It seems his inner core temperature was 102 degrees. I am so saddened to hear this news. I think of my friends every day. I remember telling one close friend to stay cool today on facebook. Little did I know that a man just about 30 minutes away from the town where I delivered mail died. My husband went on to say that our postmaster gave a Stand Up talk that let the carriers know that they needed to take care of themselves. It is scary because this is an after the fact talk. Really, what about all those years that they were punished for taking a few extra minutes. One supervisor asked me why I had come in from the route so late. I said there was an active thunderstorm and I stopped to let it pass. It was just fifteen minutes. I am emotionally connected to this job that I am retired from for over three years. I would be actively working had the "team" not come in to say that my work hours were reduced to one hour a day five days a week. BTW, doing work that I was unable to perform without getting hurt. I loved working and caring for my customers. I had a great rapport with the people from all around the world who moved into Framingham. I loved my job. Oh yes, I did. RNY related; I ate two poached eggs today for lunch. My supper was an ounce of steak, two pieces of roasted potato three cherries and a half cup of salad. Morning drink was a Premier Protein Shake. I think I am going to love that drink. It is not thick and it has 30 grams of protein.
