Has Today Sucked For Anyone Else?

[SPKrazy]

It's just been one long damned day of feeling like everything is sucky.

Anyone else having "fun" today?

:shrug:

[ikojo]

1. Well, we had some storms come through and

I got a migraine because of the change in barometric pressure.

[SPKrazy]

3. We Had Storms Here Last Night

cleared out and it's cold

sorry about the migraine, that sucks

:pals:

[trof]

4. Damn! I get those too.

Never got 'em when I was flying.
Pressure changes everyday.
Now I get 'em.
Go figure.

[SPKrazy]

15. I Get Them Before A Front

usually after it blows through it gets better

:hi:

[trof]

19. Same here. I'm now the neighborhood forecaster.

bummer
Not excruciating, just dull ache.

[SPKrazy]

23. Yes and just enough

pressure problems inside my head to make it feel like when I stand up it takes my head a minute to catch up with me :eyes:

:shrug:

[dropkickpa]

27. That's my knees

which have been aching something fierce!

[ikojo]

16. I usually get migraines on a long

flight. Doesn't make for a good first day of a trip that's for sure.

[SPKrazy]

21. Flying Drives My Sinuses Insane

I've rarely gone from one place to the next, by air, that I didn't have problems with my sinuses

:eyes:

:hi:

[Midlodemocrat]

2. Well. I had the MOST amazing conference call.

not.

I had 40 clients on the phone and via WebEx to train them, and as they called in, they were all shouting, "Hello? Hello?"

I felt like I was in a Verizon commercial.

Then, one of the clients asked me if I was going to use a particular example throughout the presentation. Obviously, she wasn't happy with that, so of course, I said, no.

But, in the meantime, I was frickin' panicking thinking "Holy Crap!!! I spent two days preparing for this with this particular guy, what am I gonna do?"

Fortunately, prior to the call, for some reason, call it divine intervention, I had placed ALL my training files right in front of me, so I was able to pick some other route to go down.

Oh, and my son broke his glasses.

So, yeah, I'm with you. Not such a great day.

:hi:

[SPKrazy]

8. Anxiety Riddled

but prepared

:pals:

good thinking or divine intervention, you were prepared

son breaking glasses, ugh...

[Midlodemocrat]

14. Oh, the best part. There is MAJOR construction on the

major road outside my neighborhood, so I have to go through my ass to my elbow to get to the closest glasses place, which happens to be Pearle Vision.

Mind you, it is 3PM, so I don't have a lot of options.

They tell me that they can't read the prescription off the lenses, so I have to race around the back way to get to the optometrist we go to get a copy of the Rx. I asked them to fax it, but my office number wasn't working, :eyes: so I go pick it up.

He picks out a new pair, we go a couple of doors down to eat dinner, and return about 15 minutes before they close.

Because he has picked out the rimless bottom style, they can't grind the lens properly, so he has to pick out a new pair and they have to race to get them done before they close at 6.

And people wonder why I drink.

The one really good thing. They give a 35% discount to AAA members and they didn't ask for my card, so that was good.

[SPKrazy]

17. Oh Brother Midlo...

one thing afta another there eh.

at least you got the discount...

and dinner

:hi:

[EstimatedProphet]

5. Feh. Today was slow.

But I got 3 days off now, so it got better!

[SPKrazy]

9. I Would Take Off Tomorrow

if I could

instead I'm meeting the "ambassador clowns" at the hospital I work at

:eyes:

[EstimatedProphet]

25. Are they actual clowns, or really bad ambassadors?

[SPKrazy]

32. They Are Actually Both

clowns and ambassadors for Ringling Bros Circus

they are coming to the hospital to visit a couple of units and since i set the thing up they want me to stay with them and make sure they get to where they are going.

:shrug:

[AlCzervik]

6. i've had a headache all day, low grade and i'm hoping it won't turn into a migraine.

usually my left eye starts hurting and i know it's coming, so far so good.

Sorry your day has been sucky but tomorrow is Friday so i'm sure things will get less sucky soon.

[SPKrazy]

11. Hope your headache won't get worse

you've decided it won't

so it won't :P

Friday... we shall see

:pals:

[ikojo]

18. I hope your headache doesn't turn into

a migraine, chimpsrsmarter.

Keep the lights and noise to a minimum.

[AlCzervik]

24. Thanks,i hope yours is over soon.

i get them from pressure change as well.

[Mojorabbit]

40. I just came off a three day migraine

and woke up feeling great this morning... but at 2pm while cutting up a wild hog hubby got bow hunting and planning andouille sausage making I went into total spasm with an exacerbation of my MS. I am so depressed. A whole week or more of my life will be wasted. Yes I am feeling extremely sorry for myself and my legs hurt like a son of a bitch. Whine.

[AlCzervik]

65. thats not whiny, thats rough.

:hug:

[SPKrazy]

89. If That Is Whine

then I'm an even bigger ass than I was thinking... your situation sounds really sucky

:hug:

[Mojorabbit]

110. I'll be fine

truly. I have had this for twenty years. It is just that I have had such a long spell of doing really decent and it took me by surprise today. It could be a whole lot worse. I am really very lucky.I was just feeling sorry for myself for a few minutes. :)
Thanks for the commiseration!

[Omphaloskepsis]

7. I watched my sisters twins for a few hours...

We made a fort out of couch cushions and watched Clifford The Big Red Dog on PBS. I made Pizza to.. It was fun.

[SPKrazy]

12. Sounds Like A Hell Of A Lot More Fun Than I Had

:hi:

[VenusRising]

112. So you should plan this weekend

to build a fort in your living room and watch movies. That should be fun!




:hide:

[SPKrazy]

116. Only If You

will come and play in our fort with us

:rofl:

:P

[Danger Mouse]

10. Today sucked hard, indeedy.

Work was a pain in the ass, felt like I was running around all day.
Damn kids.

[SPKrazy]

13. Work Was There...

I never get things finished

everything else seems to be coming undone

:shrug:

is it the computer's fault?

[Danger Mouse]

82. When all else fails...

blame the computer :)

[SPKrazy]

87. Well, mebbe it isn't the

computer

but the nut that's loose in it's operator

:shrug:

[Ariana Celeste]

20. Yeah today has been awesome.

I finally found out my next court date which happens to fall on a day a friend of mine from out of state is trying to visit. I have to put off my next tatt for gods know how long (I was really looking forward to that, too). I had a bad dream right before waking up that I still can't shake. And I feel like shit anyways (have for freaking months). Had to talk to the bondsman, that was great. Just little things but piling them on to everything else, you know, rocks. Blah.

[SPKrazy]

31. Oh Yeah, I Remember That Now Ariana

your court and all the associated probs...

sounds tough friend, bad dreams can really have a profound effect sometimes. I've had dreams that made me feel bad all day.

Most of the time I don't have those kind of dreams, but I hate that

:hug:

[Ariana Celeste]

68. thanks for the hug

:hug: :)

[SPKrazy]

75. ---

:hug:

thanks yourself ;)

[Shine]

22. Yes. I'm stressed out and need a shower.

among other things.

For what it's worth, did you know there's a full moon lunar eclipse coming up on Sat? There always seems to be an increase of intense energies around full moons...and particularly around eclipses, too.
In case you're interested:
http://astrowisdom.com/thisfullmoon.htm

:hi:

[SPKrazy]

45. Yeah, that was interesting...

considering I'm a Virgo

the stuff about codependency etc. and intense energies really struck me.

I'm apparently a true Virgo being in a helping profession and considering myself to be a type of healer.

thanks

:hi:

[Shine]

64. Hey, who luvs ya, baby?

:hug: :loveya:
I have my moon in Virgo, so I'm definitely feelin' the energies, too. It's been a bit challenging lately.

sigh...it'll pass....

:hi:

[SPKrazy]

74. Thanks Shine!

:loveya:

:hug:

it'll pass, it is just the wait

Saturday should be interesting it sounds like

thanks for the link too, saved it.

[AwakeAtLast]

26. Unbelievably sucky.

SUCKY SUCKY SUCKY!!! :(

[SPKrazy]

46. Sorry!

me too!

:(

[undeterred]

28. I spent the afternoon in the oral surgeons chair

which, though extremely painful, was better than my job review. :hurts:

And although I finally got up the nerve and emailed Mr. Cookies on the personals site on Sunday, he hasn't opened my email yet. :cry:

So yes. Everything is sucky today.

[SPKrazy]

47. - - -

:hug:

hang in there undeterred

[Redstone]

29. Yes.

[idgiehkt]

30. my day has been okay

but I am sick so that sucks. :(

I guess it's my turn since just about everyone else on DU has gotten this.

It's windy here but at least it isn't cold. I had to go out and feed all the animals so I'm grateful for that since this stuff is already in my lungs. :hug:

[S n o w b a l l]

37. Hope you feel better Idgie

:hug:

I had it for 2 wks...it sucks.

[idgiehkt]

39. thanks

2 weeks...that would drive me over the edge. I'm hoping this will be gone before the weekend so don't have to deal with dust in all my buildings I clean while not being able to breathe. Another :hug:

[SPKrazy]

49. Get Better Idg

:hug:

:hi:

:hug:

[bridgit]

54. all the best to you friend, you know that...

:toast:

[SPKrazy]

58. Thankers!

you too

:toast:

[S n o w b a l l]

35. Yep....

Being the new kid on the block at work I got blamed for everything that went wrong today.

I'm in the evil advertising empire...they produced and ran the wrong commercial, it was my fault. The network failed to pull it, it was my fault and on and on.

Must be something in the stars.

Hope tomorrow is a better day, Southpaw!

:hug:

[idgiehkt]

36. .

:hug: :loveya:

[S n o w b a l l]

Thanks Idgie....:hug:

:loveya:

[SPKrazy]

42. Oh, Who Knows...

I don't see my problems getting better anytime soon Engi, but thanks

:hug:

hope your day is better

[graywarrior]

41. Well, my new cell phone came in the mail, so I guess that un-sucks.

But the rest of my day was horrible.

[SPKrazy]

55. Your Just Lucky

that I don't kick that duck's ass!

:rofl:

:hug:

[graywarrior]

63. You're lucky you're not on ignore

I'm feeling the power!!
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[SPKrazy]

70. Ignore Me If You Must

at this point that would be the least of my worries

:shrug:

[graywarrior]

81. Feeling that badly, ay?

Here
:hug:

[SPKrazy]

84. Thanks...

yup

:hug:

[mainegreen]

43. Actually, mine has been rather upbeat! n/t

[SPKrazy]

57. Well I'm Glad For You

no really, i am ;)

:hi:

[skygazer]

44. I call 'em "graydays"

They suck. Sorry you're having one and I hope it gets better. :hug:

[SPKrazy]

59. Well...

filling out your survey on myspace helped and reading yours did too :hug: ;)

[ellie]

53. Yes, I have a migraine

but it could be worse.

[SPKrazy]

60. I Could Always Be Worse

the only consolation some days... :(

:hug:

[texanwitch]

61. I had to deal with my family today over the same piece of land.

Anytime I have to be around my family I am in a bad mood.

Now if they would just pay me for the the piece of land everything would be taken care of.

[SPKrazy]

62. Oh man TW

I've missed talking to you lately

I'm sorry you are having a bad one too

family squabbles suck

:hug:

[texanwitch]

66. Hi Southpawkicker

This land problem is getting old.

The land has to be divided 7 ways, it is a large piece of land.

I don't want to live there but I want the mineral rights, this is the problem.

My sister and cousins think I should give the land away and I am not going to do it.

So nothing can be done with the land until this problems is taken care off.

Just pay me for the land and I will keep the mineral rights and everything is OK.

[SPKrazy]

69. Sounds Reasonable

sounds like a pain in the ass too TW

:hug:

[texanwitch]

80. It is costing them money to fight me on this.

This has been going on for almost 5 years, this is really stupid.

The lawyer must be costing them a lot of money.

I have a lawyer but mine is free.

[SPKrazy]

86. Well Nothing Like Fighting With Family

in court

sorry friend

that sucks

:pals:

[texanwitch]

97. If they would have paid me the money they spent on the lawyer that would cover

most of the cost of the land.

Meanwhile the papers can't be signed, and my one cousin who I like can't build her house on her section of land.

There is natural gas under the land, a big pocket.

[SPKrazy]

100. It's Always Amazing To Me

what happens or can happen in families over money or other things

:shrug:

hang in there

[texanwitch]

104. I am.

My sister and cousins have always been this way.

I do feel bad for my one cousin who wants to build her dream house but I am not giving my land for free.

[GenDem]

67. Sucked here

On Thursday afternoons I teach seniors at one of those expensive senior citizen independent living communities. Today when I got there I found out that the head chef had a massive stroke two days ago, and they unplugged her this morning. She had the stroke at work, so all of the residents and staff are doubly shook up. She was only 52 years old. My students think that she was way way over worked.

I'm not that much younger and have been having a little shortness of breath lately. I know I need to get to the doctor. I work so many different places and only am on salary for my part time school job. I have a difficult time figuring out what day I should take off so I can see the doctor, but this has been a wake up call, so tomorrow I am going to call and get checked out.

I hope things get better for you, Southpaw. :hug:

[SPKrazy]

76. Take Care Of Yourself Gem!

shortness of breath is something to take seriously

lots of reasons it could happen, and many are benign, but please do get checked out.

:hug:

hope you feel better

sorry about the chef

[Little Wing]

71. Absolutely

Funny you should ask :eyes:

[SPKrazy]

77. I Think It

is in the stars

lunar eclipse this Saturday

:hug:

[pookieblue]

72. my day sucked

and to top things off, my local NBC station is not showing the new episode of Scrubs because of the College Basketball game!!!

No Dr Cox for me.

[SPKrazy]

78. Sorry pookie

my day sucked too

:(

:hug:

[LeftyMom]

73. I spent an hour and a half at the DMV.

:cry:

[SPKrazy]

79. Yuckkkkk!

I hate the DMV

:puke:


:hug:

[TOhioLiberal]

85. It's been one craptacular day...

I woke up with a headache. It's been rainy and dreary all day and my hip hurts. I'm thinking it may be arthritis. x(

[SPKrazy]

88. Sounds craptacular...

my day has just sucked and feels like the drain is sucking me down inside it


:shrug:


:hug:

hope your hip is better and not so sucky tomorrow.

If I'm not down the drain I can post tomorrow too,

otherwise, I'm not sure how well the internets work from down in the sewer

:(

[TOhioLiberal]

91. ...

...if you get sucked into the sewer, I'll throw you a life preserver. :hug:

[SPKrazy]

93. Thanks

it's getting closer...

:shrug:

:hug:

[TOhioLiberal]

95. I'm ready...

just give the word...:hi:

[KatyaR]

92. I keep telling people, it's because Mercury's in retrograde

and there's a total lunar eclipse on March 3. Now, I don't know what any of that means, but when Mercury's in retrograde, things tend to go awry.

I don't really believe all that stuff, but it's kinda like "ER Syndrome" on full moon nights--there's got to be some truth to it.

[SPKrazy]

94. See Shine's Post #22

I think the link is interesting as it explains how the total lunar eclipse in this particular place in space and the star signs affects people.

:shrug:


I'll have to admit it sounded pretty familiar.

[S n o w b a l l]

96. Thank you for this info...

because I am a believer and as a Gemini with Mercury as ruler, it makes sense.

"As the planet of communication, Mercury retrograde tends to breed a certain level of confusion. Mercury rules our "lower" mind--how we perceive and interpret information that we receive from our environment, and how we relay that information to others. Mercury has rulership over such things as speaking, negotiating, buying and selling, listening, formal contracts, documents, travel, the mail and shipping, and so forth. All of these areas of life are affected when Mercury is functioning in a sluggish state. Decision-making is challenged during Mercury retrograde. Needless to say, it is not advised to sign contracts, engage in important decision-making, or launch a new business. Delays and challenges are more probable with Mercury retrograde. It's a time when being careless with money, our personal information, or paperwork can be costly.

There is a positive side to Mercury Retrograde. This period is best used for re-organizing and reflecting. We look at the world a little differently--through different filters--and can come up with some very important inner revelations. It may be difficult to communicate them under this influence, but not everything needs to be rationalized."

[SPKrazy]

98. All I Know

is I've always been very sensitive to lunar cycles, and probably to influences I've never thought of

and I believe in energy fields and that we are all connected in ways that can't be explained through current abilities.

:hug:

Hi

[S n o w b a l l]

103. I agree 100%

It's fascinating when you open your mind to the possibilities.

I had my chart professionally done once. There were so many things that he predicted but the one thing that sticks out the most is him say..."I'm seeing OPM here". Other Peoples Money. I opened my retail store about a yr later. It was weird.

Hi :)

:hug:

[crim son]

99. Late morning I had a couple of sucky hours but

I recovered. The best thing you can do, pawpicker, is go to sleep and start again tomorrow. :hug:

[SPKrazy]

105. I hear ya!

headed that way

:hug:

[lizziegrace]

101. It's ending that way - we have a flood warning

My driveway is just about washed out. It sounds like a rushing river when you open the door. The power was out during the night for 4 hours. Good thing it was last night, otherwise, I'd be searching for a generator to run the pump in the basement.

This only happens a couple times a year and it's a good thing. :(

[SPKrazy]

106. Bummer...

that's a lot of rain

stay dry!

:hug:

[The Traveler]

102. Hi, SPK

Lots of crappy things have happened lately but I am actually feeling really good today. The wind blew. The rain pelted. I am still standing. Haven't gone room temperature yet. Yeah. Not a bad day, bro, but still in its own way sucky.

[SPKrazy]

107. Well Hang in there fellow 12% and under d00d!

:hug:

take care

[zingaro]

108. You have no idea. NO idea. And NO fun, either.

Sorry your day sucked.

[SPKrazy]

117. Sorry Zingy...

just saw this now

hope your Friday was better, and Saturday is rawkin!

:yourock:

:hug:

[MnFats]

109. we're getting our ass kicked by this giant blizzard...

....it's been snowing for 24 hours and will keep on snowing until 6 p.m. friday.
.....soft, squishy, sticky snow that's the worst for driving. I was dumb enough to go to work. almost put the car in the ditch today and had to put up with the SUV crowd tailgating me mercilessly...

shoveled the driveway twice today already and will have to do it again in the morning.
at least we're not getting tornadoes....but if you look at a national weather map, this is part of the same system that stretches from Mn. to Fla.

[fizzgig]

111. it wasn't a bad day

until my douchbag ex called me and was a complete fuckwad

[SPKrazy]

120. Damn...

we should steal his cell phone and get your pics for sure now!

:P

:hug:

[leftofthedial]

113. I'm just fucking exhausted

which sucks

[SPKrazy]

121. Rest Well

my friend

things suck less when we're rested

:pals:

[SoCalDemGrrl]

114. It's actually been a very suckie WEEK - Ugh.

[SPKrazy]

119. Suckie Week...

well, it has been a yo yo week for me

but I hope the rest of your week and weekend are better!

:hug:

[Zookeeper]

115. I don't think today was worse than any other day this week....

First, I'm suffering from a severe case of cabin fever. Mainly because my daughter with Type 1 diabetes caught a cold last week that kept her out of school for three days and then she missed most of this week because of subsequent complications (ketones we just couldn't completely get rid of until this afternoon). She is so tired of dealing with her diabetes and missing school and I feel such sorrow for her.

My oldest son came down with "The Cold" yesterday and missed school today. Since he is very behind in his school work this is Not a Good Thing.

Yesterday felt worse than today. I woke up yesterday morning from a rare (really awful and significant) nightmare having to do with my oldest son and his ADD.

The good news is:

1) I'm nearly done with a woodworking project for my kids. It's a media cabinet for a TV and their video gaming equipment. Plus two "book" cases for video games and such. It's turned out a little fancy for the basement, but I feel like I reached a new level of craftspersonship with this project. :thumbsup: Now I have more confidence to start a major project of built-in bookcases, window seat and media storage for our family room. (Then a new dining table...)

2) Tomorrow is a Snowday!!! We finally have a big old glorious heap 'o snow! The son who is sick doesn't miss another day of school. My youngest son gets to build a snow fort. My DH is under the delusion that he is going to work tomorrow and plans to shovel just enough snow to get his car out of the driveway, but I think he will end up with a Snowday, too. If not, I get to shovel the rest, but I'm such a weirdo that I actually like shoveling snow. This is a surprise three-day weekend!

3) Our bountiful snowfall may answer the question of, "Mom, what are we going to do for Spring Break?" I'm thinking we may head north for x-country skiing. ('Better than getting on a JetBlue plane for Florida...:+ )

I stepped outside a little while ago and the snow, the silence, the beauty and the clean, fresh air felt like such a blessing. It brought me back to the beautiful moment.

I hope you are feeling better on Friday, Southpaw!

:hug: :pals: :hug:

[SPKrazy]

118. Friday Was Better...

today has been okay too

:hug:

hope you are having fun this weekend

just saw this now

:shrug:

[Maraya1969]

122. I'm raising my hand. I'm still having a hard time getting out and doing things

Talked about the ptsd in another thread. But when I stay in I add the whole guilt trip or fear that I am wasting my life thing and that makes me more miserable.

OK I'm going to stop with the guilt now since I just realized what I am doing. Changing thoughts is a good thing.

[SPKrazy]

123. Yes, Screw Guilt!

is what I'm trying to say

guilt is a worthless emotion most of the time

especially feeling overly guilty about things we have no control over or didn't even do.

:pals:

[Kat45]

124. Yes, I had to break up with my boyfriend, thus ending

11 months of really good times and great sex. The two of us were crying our eyes out. Breaking up is always hard to do, of course, but it's even tougher when you're enjoying things so much and don't want them to end. Unfortunately, based on a previous conversation that he couldn't open his heart to me, it had to be done.

[SPKrazy]

126. Sorry about that...

I'll say this though, to break up now is easier to do than to go on and get more complicated in your relationship and then be struggling with breaking up. (it made sense in my head)

:pals:

[ThatsMyBarack]

125. Last night....

....after losing yet another skating competition, I had a long, dark drive through a blizzard, AND I ran out of wiper fluid.

[SPKrazy]

127. Oh man...

that sounds like a rough time. Now, would wiper fluid help in a blizzard? (I live in the south and we don't have real blizzards here)

I'm sorry that you are having a hard time

:hug:

[ThatsMyBarack]

128. Too many cars....

....splashing slush on my windshield, and I can't get it off w/o fluid.

[SPKrazy]

129. Oh...

well that is fairly easily fixed... your skating unhappiness is a harder struggle for you and I only can say that we all have to determine what makes us happy and do that.

I'd hate to see you in an orange jumpsuit ;)
