Bizarre Week - You Can Say That Again ... And It's Only Tuesday

[debris4spike]

It started Sunday evening, as I was driving back from Mum and Dad's - I felt a little bit "icky".  For tea we had some sandwiches, and normally when Mum makes them, I either have seperate, or she uses the margerine that I have ... today she did neither - When I asked her on Monday, she just said she forgot.  Well, I have always been allergic to butter - and butter-milk (so can't have spreadable marge, either).  As it was ham and salad I hadn't noticed the flavour - but I then spent the next 24 hours aching and shivering as my body argued with the spread.

Annoying - Mum should know that, after 48 years, but she has been stressed, so I can't even moan at her!

~~

I then went to orchestra - to collect the terms subs, as I'm not playing for the next concert and Barry (the conductor) has got cover - When I got there he asked why I hadn't brought my cllarinet as he had spoken to the normal 2nd last week, and she had promised to pass on the message ... she is the one that caused me probles earlier in the year, if you rmember.

So, sad to say, I now don't think I will eve trust her again. 

Barry realised what had happened, and so I wasn't in trouble ... but it is so, so annoying that she does this.  Barbara is one of those annoying people who "smile" - I have tried hard to be positive, but this is it!!

~~

When I felt vaguely human yesterday, I walked into town, to take my 366 picture and drop my shoes off at the cobblers.  I have bought a new pair for Stacey's wedding (Toni's daughter - and the reason I'm not at the concert); and had to get the heals altered.  The day before my 21st birthday I was run over, and since then have had the heals of one shoe alterd by 1/4" to compensate for the damage to my pelvis.  So, since 1982, every pair of shoes I buy, has cost me more before I can wear them!

So, off I went, and there's a new guy working at the shop - I walked in and put them on the table, and asked for the work - to which he said it couldn't be done as it throws the balance of the shoes off!!  Yes - I agree.  But having done this for 27 years it was hard for me to remain polite!  He has said he will speak to the area supervisor - and get back to me.  I have asked for it A.S.A.P.  as I rarely buy "girly" shoes - now I have, I want to wear them!!

~~

So - suprise, suprise, I had a bad nights sleep - and real depressive thoughts.  Life was tough this morning - but that is just to be expected, and at least I know the final trigger for the sadness.

~~

Now it's this afternoon - and I am fighting back the sadness - while watching it rain!!

Sorry for the winge - but wanted to put the day behind me - and focus on the good things in life.

Sorry you're feeling low. Sometimes a run of things can really knock you back can't it? I expect if you have been feeling OK you would have shrugged some of these things off.

My mum forgets stuff too - she served up grapefruit one Christmas as a starter, completely forgot I hate the stuff! *face/palm!*

[jen-nsync-landl.livejournal.com]

Feel better soonest, and good luck with the shoes. How trying!

[debris4spike]

Thanks. At least the week can only get better!

[debris4spike]

Thanks Karen.

This last few months had been so much better - then to get a day like Monday - !!!

It just seemed sad that Mum forgot my allergy - but she has had a tough week or so herself.

I love grapefruit!!

What a run of badness for you. Don't be sorry. LJ is for sharing and pouring it all out to friends. I hope the day gets better for you.

I was in a bad car accident when I was 15 and due to it, I can't really wear girlie shoes. I still wear them to church on days when my joints aren't aching, but I'm careful not to walk around to much or my back will start to hurt. I could strangle the man who was high on drugs who ploughed into the car I was in! Before that, I could wear pretty shoes and was just starting to be allowed to wear them.

Thanks Dawn - it is great to have friends to un-burden to.

Yes a second in someone else's life - and ours are changed. I have to be thankful that I am alive - and basically OK. For me, I tend to have low self-esteem, and so boring clothes etc ... I really must be kinder to myself. With my regular horse riding my back is kept pretty strong (most of the time)

*hugs* Sometimes little things mount up and take over, especially when you're not feeling too well either.

Hope tomorrow brings a better day - and a cobbler who will fix your shoes without making silly excuses not to.

[debris4spike]

What a great start to the week!! Still I suppose this gets it all over and done with - even if it did knock me emotionally as well.

Couldn't believe that cobbler - but managed to count to 10 before I told him so!

Thanks Carolyn.

Having a good moan can help :) So we're all here for you. Focus on the good. DJ will be happy for the rain - more grass! LOL
It's like a desert where I am. My paddock resembles a dust bowl. But it's a blessing in disguise as all three are very good doers.
*hugs*

[debris4spike]

Thanks Mabal - good to have friends I can let off steam to. - Hugs you.

Oh I shall tell DJ what he would (not) have to eat if he was with you! I am suprised how short the grass is in his field - but there again, he and Conrad both consider eating as work and hobby!!

[jerusha]

*hugs* Yikes. It sounds like a bad day all around. Here's hoping things are looking brighter today!

[debris4spike]

Thanks - yes, the week is slowly getting back on track, Thank you, J.

*hugs you back*

[auntiero.livejournal.com]

Heh... I've had weeks like that. Here's hoping the rest of the week gets much better!

*hugs*

Here! Enjoy the pretty icon!

[debris4spike]

Yay - Thank you - Life is suddenly looking better - or this LJ page is!!

Yes, we are in the same boat - and lets now say that we have had the bad half - the good 1/2 is to come.

*hugs* you back

[sarian71]

Well, that's a lot of things gone wrong in one day! *commiserates* This is clearly one of those 'when it rains it pours' things. I hope the rest of your week is better.

Oh and, wow, does that Barbara character make me fume!!

[debris4spike]

Thanks Sari - It was certainly a "busy" day.

I have tried very hard to make my peace with Barbara over the last few years - but this was the final straw.

I hope that you are now more peaceful yourself, and your memories of Rafu are bringing a smile back to your face.

*hugs*

[sarian71]

"I have tried very hard to make my peace with Barbara over the last few years - but this was the final straw."

Yes, the limit just has to be drawn somewhere.

"I hope that you are now more peaceful yourself, and your memories of Rafu are bringing a smile back to your face."

I'm slowly coming to terms with that, after a couple of very difficult days. Reports of James in DragonCon, fanfics and friends like you have been very welcome and helpful distractions...
And yes, remembering his endearing little quirks make me smile. :)

*hugs and sends positive thoughts your way*

[debris4spike]

Must just tell you I miss-read your answer ... and had you thinking of James quirks ... not Rafu's!!! I better not tell James that, had I!

*hugs* you back

[sarian71]

:D

[missus-grace.livejournal.com]

I'm sending some hugs and positive vibes your way :)

[debris4spike]

Thank you - much apreciate.

GIANT :HUGS:

Hope the week will improve for you.

[debris4spike]

Thank you Louise.

Things look good today - in that the sun is out, so that's a positive start to the morning!

[oldgreymare.livejournal.com]

{{HUGS}} It's funny how these things run in little groups of troubles.
I am sure now it's out of the way the rest of the week has to be better, and if it doesn't I will give it a swift kick up the backside - just for you.

[debris4spike]

Thanks D - it certainly seemed to be a "busy" day - but that does mean the rest of the week has to be better ... doesn't it??? *g*
