Having a Bad Day?: Get 'yer Hugs here!!

[Arraenae]

That sounds terrible, Wilson.  Hopefully the rest of 2017 will be better.

[Erunion he/him]

Headachey, tired, procrastinating on doing important stuff for work that requires thinking and more crucially making decisions. 
Need sleep and hugs.

I've pulled some strings and Sandman agreed to schedule you for an additional sleep. It also should help with the headache. You're welcome

Hugs have to be metaphorical though.

[ShadowLord_Lith he/him]

I would offer you my soul, but it wouldn't help with your sleep problem.

So instead, I offer digitally transferred hugs along with my sincerest apologies and desires to help that cannot be fulfilled, much to my dismay.

Gonna post this here so people have a better chance of seeing it. If your a Carrie Fisher fan and have hbo her and Debbie's doc will be airing this sat. Have some tissues handy.

Today my father tried his hand at plumbing. He was successful... eventually. I am currently tired, dehydrated, and playing a game with my family that, on average, lasts for two-three hours. Why did the water-line have to bust? Why?

It's raining this morning, as it was last night, when both of my brand new wiper blades came loose. Instead of checking on them first thing, I forgot until it was time for me to go to work, at which point I discovered that one blade was broken. I managed to reattach it well enough to use it sparingly in the light rain, so I could get to work, but now it looks like I'll be using my lunch break to get new blades installed. Even though I've always done it myself and this was the first time I've ever had a problem. 

This is going to be a great day.

You know what, it's going to snow tomorrow!!!!!

All of you up north probably don't care, but where I live this is a rare and much anticipated event!

My blades were put through the ringer today. Icy slush! It was epic!

Even when you're feeling down, things can be randomly exciting. And I forgot there was a good things thread.

Soooo....I just got the txt I been expecting but not wanting. My daughter has reached that time. Hope the mood swings aren't hell

[Delightful]

Everything sucks and people keep telling me a) my plans to make it better and b.) my general life aspirations are terrible and worse and I should do what *they* want me to do because ""I don't know what im doing yet"" and I feel stuck and frustrated and confused and everything is awful and I need hugs.

Rule 1: don't act embarassed about it which is part of

rule 2: be sympathetic. She's most likely even more confused and icked out than you are.

I'm sorry. That sucks—I know, I've been there.  Sometimes the only way to find out what you want to do with your life is to do something you hadn't thought of before. That's how I figured out my career—I needed a job, and the one I got happened to be as a library assistant, which made me realize that I really liked library work. Try doing something while you're trying to figure out what you want to do. Apply for a job in a field that you maybe didn't consider before. That way, you'll be bringing in money and trying something new, while developing skills that you can take to the next job, whether or not the job you get is in the career field you want.

My dad has been redoing our new houses plumbing recently, and doing a surprisingly good job of it all things considered. However, only last week he broke the main water-pipe. I was dehydrated that day, plus I woke up with a headache before he even broke the thing, then I ended up being asked to come out and help fix it despite the freezing weather... it was a bad day. I got over it, though, because the rest of the day was fine.

Well...

Today he broke the water heater.

I walked in from school, and am immediately conscripted into helping my dad move the now entirely disconnected and emptied water heater out of the area. after that, I had to go under the house to run some new water lines, and I just now took a shower that was as cold as a pool in January. 

...I hate the cold... with a purposefully burning passion...

I don't normally post in this topic; It, personally, feels like I'm being ungrateful for all of your guys's kindness. I normally just come here, type up a response, and then delete it and go try to stop my younger brothers from arguing. I know its silly to feel that way, especially because your all so kind, but I normally hide anything negative I feel and try to act as a support beam for others. Regardless, thank you.

Oh wow. That really sucks.  

Did he get it fixed? 

[ShadowLord_Lith he/him]

He's working on it, though its 9:42 PM here in Austin-ish Texas. he should finish it while I'm at school tomorrow, though I'll feel sad that I can't help him all day. I recently discovered that his love language is acts of service. 

[Orlion Blight he/him]

Sounds to me like your dad shouldn't be messing with the plumbing. *sips tea*

[ShadowLord_Lith he/him]

He's actually surprisingly good at it. He has managed to successfully prepare a way to repair all of the 50 year-old, corroded, galvanized-steel water-pipes in the house. Those are about the only mishaps that occurred over the entirety of his week or two attempt at re-plumbing this house. I'm feeling proud of him more than anything else. 

Especially now that that light forsaken shower is over...*shiver*

..maybe this isn't the right topic for this.

I was just lying on my bed, reading a book, and a thought occurred to me:

"Is this seriously my life?"

I'm almost 30. I have no life savings. I'm not particularly invested in my work place career. I've lost touch with most of my childhood friends, and I still live at home with my parents.

I'm not having a...bad day, exactly, bit I suddenly just feel really hollow and...disappointed?

[Jondesu he/him]

Had the Botox shots I've been dreading on Monday morning, and the actual process was a good bit less painful than I feared (though by no means comfortable). 

However, I have spent the entire time since then sore and in more pain than before. I stayed on the couch once I got out of bed both yesterday and today, almost entirely. Getting up to use the bathroom or get myself food or water is far more difficult and taxing than it has any right to be. I hope this ebbs back to my normal level of suckitude soon.

I kind of know that feel. I mean, I'm living on my own, but sometimes I wonder if this is how things are going to be forever. 

I guess the best thing you could do is find something to give life meaning, cheesy as it sounds. Writing something that I tell myself will be the next Big Thing helps me. You might do something different, but the point is to do something you like that you can get invested in.
