Still Having a Bad Day? Exchange Your Rants For Hugs Here!

[Kobold King he/him]

My shame is like my safehand covering: conspicuously and unapologetically absent.

 

TwiLyghtSansSparkles: she can't even make a cute pug video without Vorins gasping and dramatically fainting.

Thought I might post something to cheer you guys up.

Some words of wisdom before I think better of it:

It's always better to apologize, even if you're right. It's a bitter pill to swallow, but it normally leads to the compromise where they admit, "hey, I kinda sucked" and you can say "hey, I overreacted" or some other such garbage... In the end, though, the problem is better resolved.

[Kaymyth she/her]

Uuuugghhhhhh.

 

I was supposed to go out with friends and do karaoke tonight.

 

It ain't happening for me.  Still too sick.  And I couldn't even manage to squeeze out more than about four hours of sleep last night.  It's a holiday weekend.  I was going to accomplish things.

Truth. It's hard, but it makes people respect you.

My director for a play once stood in front of the entire cast and apologized for saying something angrily at two or three cast members. She's a wonderful, sweet lady, and I know it takes a lot to get her riled up, so it must have been something pretty serious to make her mad. But even though it was against just a couple people and most of the cast didn't even know the exchange had happened, she apologized in front of everyone. And I gained so much respect for her from that.

It's super hard to say "I'm sorry." But it's really good to.

I'm working on it.  At least we got the dog bathed.  That's something, right?

 

And now I'm going to go shower and then sit down and try and write something.

Relationship rant: I'm pretty sick of girls saying and acting like they are into me but then it turns out they had doubts all along. You could have just told me in the first place. I actually quite like listening, even if it is something I wouldn't want to hear.

But instead little to no explanation is really irritating.

It kind of makes you wonder why anyone puts in any effort into significant others at all. I obviously need to just stop giving any craps at all...

How girls react when getting into relationships widely differs with their age... How old are the girls in question?

So i've finally come to end the assessment stage of my TEFL course, of which consists of a Multiple Choice test, building my own Lesson Plan and an essay explaining said plan. The quiz i feel i did relatively well on, and the lesson plan looks relatively easy to do (i have most of the resources to produce it) and i enjoy essays..........but I have zero inspiration or motivation and this block makes it feel very...daunting.

 

And to top it off, I go traveling in just under two months and STORMS OF COLOURS.............i'm positively cremming my Shardplate because the moment is nearly here. Like...Nervouscited REALLY doesn't cover my feelings....I've still got a few things to get sort out and even just talking about this with family/friends doesn't make it seem real. I mean I know I'll be fine but..........feeling slightly kayana with everything, it feels like my head will turn into a giant mushroom cloud. Oh to simply stop the world so i can catch my breath

Is this not fairly easy to accomplish?

[ParadoxicalZen he/him]

Pillowfort/Blanket nest; yes. Adorable pets and plushies; not so much. They cost too much money. Although my dogs are cute as damnation, they just wouldn't sit still long enough...plus responsibilties >.<

Too.  Much.  Homework.  Give me a break already, I've been trying not to procrastinate, but it's hard with eight classes worth of homework that is causing you to fall over backward.  Grr.

 

And I am coming down with a cold because the stress is wearing down my immune system.

I have the same problem,

I'm only two weeks into HS and HW is already stacking up. I think I'm just going to stop doing HW for one class since its only worth 5%

Mom: Don't interrupt my shows to tell me stupid things you can tell me during the commercials! I don't do that to you!

Mom, today: Oh, you're watching your show? Here, let me interrupt you to ask your opinion on a house you're not going to live in!

Disclaimer: If this is rude, just tell me.

Not my own bad day rant (overheard conversation) but relevant:

"Go brush your teeth!"

"I don't want to brush my teeth!"

"Ok, well, if you don't brush your teeth then they'll go away ".

So, I stayed home from work sick today.  Partly because I'm still feeling pretty crappy, and partly because I had been feeling so terribly crappy over the weekend that I could barely sleep at night.  So I called in and used today to try to catch up and let my body do some actual healing.

 

(I got 11 hours, I think.  It sounds excessive until I tell you that it's more than I got the previous two nights combined.  And I'm a person who needs my 7-8 hours when I'm healthy.)

 

Cutting for excessive medical stuff and copious amounts of whining:

But apparently this morning is when my Female Cycle decided to kick in.

 

I woke up hungry.  A bit achy, but I didn't think much of it.  Went downstairs, let the dog out, and started to make some food.  At that point, the achiness had settled into place, and I realized that it was cramps, so I went for the meds.  And that's when all heck started to break loose.

 

Normally, I start cramping after things get going, so I start taking painkillers pre-emptively.  This month's going backwards, and I wasn't properly prepared.

 

Getting water, I got dizzy and had to go sit down.  Cramps intensified, pulsing on and off as they're wont to do.  Got meds down.  Curled over the dining room table and whimpered for a bit.  Finally made a shuffling dash for the bathroom as my body seems convinced that every time I have severe cramps, there must be something wrong with my digestive system and tries to purge the system.

 

I sat there and willed myself to not get nauseous, because that kind of purge would get rid of the meds in my stomach, and if those went, I was completely rusting doomed.

 

As it was, it was pretty bad.  I'm sure some of you might be thinking, "Oh, it's only cramps."  No.  There's nothing 'only' about it.  My innards were writhing in a pulsing pain that echoed out to my back.  I was sweating profusely and shaking badly.  I managed to get myself out of the bathroom and to the living room couch, and I was freaking out enough at that point that I thought that maybe there was something serious wrong.  It took me three tries on the landline to dial my husband's phone number properly.  (The first time I even actually dialed my own cellphone, upstairs and out of reach.  The second time I stuck a '9' in front of the number on instinct, because we have to do that to call out at work, and my brain was seriously sputtering out at that point.)

 

In the 20 minutes that it took James to get home, the naproxen finally kicked in.  I could actually feel it happen.  I'd lay there, with the pain driving up to about a 7, then back down to a 1, cycling.  And then it only went up to a 5, and then a 3, and then suddenly I was OK.  Weak, still shaky, but finally not in pain.  He finished making my food as I pulled myself back together.  In retrospect, I probably didn't need to call him, but I was having such a severe reaction that I could very well have been a lot sicker than I actually was.

 

Holy carp, that was the worst one I've had in a long while.

 

 

Yeah.  So.  Better now, but that was scary.

Would it make you feel better if I told you I failed like three classes a term in 8th grade? In any case, you have my sympathy and best wishes. Edited September 9, 2015 by Slowswift

Idk, its not even my grades really, its the way my parents make them to be.

But, in other news, i can barely type right now because im shaking so badly some things happened I'd rather not elaborate on and i dont think i can finish my homework tonight because of it.

I'm sorry. I remember how the first one was for me, and it sucked. I don't know about the second, but I hope it all works out.

I was thinking of posting this in Random Stuff XLIV, but it might be of better use here:

 

[ParadoxicalZen he/him]

So, I actually managed to make progress on my TEFL assessment stuff (I have 12% of a lesson plan....ok more like 90%) but this companion essay i have to do still seems like a mountain which still seems odd, as I usually like essays (my friends always used to come to me for help with essays >.>) but...storms, it is only 1000-1500 words so it isn't even that bad >..> 

 

And I'm still mildly freaking out about my upcoming travels. I feel like i'll never be ready, even though I'm a really adaptable person. Storms, 55 days (why do i feel as if i'm predicting the Everstorm...and I just realised how appropriate a metaphor that is)
