My day started out bad and went down hill from there.

Have you ever had one of thoes days when almost everything goes wrong. Well today was my day. First of all I had a doctors appointment this afternoon it is the annual physicial and pap smear. For you ladies you all know how horrible that is. I got up and was taking a shower. I have one of thoes rubber hoses that hookes to the faucet. It came off and sprayed all over the toilet and toilet paper. It sprayed clear over and filled my Ugg slipers with water. I had the shower curtin closed but the water found a crack in the curtain. I could not get the water off fast enough and besides I was bent down washing my hair and did not see the water spraying out through the curtain. I then got out of the shower/bath and dried off and cleaned up the water. I was dressing and putting lotion on my legs OH NO I FORGOT TO SHAVE MY LEGS! I left my legs unshaven because I was half dressed and was not going to get back in the water. I do not have much hair on my legs anyway. I am disabled and cannot drive anymore. I can dial-a-ride, which is a local bus that comes to your door to pick up disabled people and take them around. It is 2 dollars everytime I get on the bus. I called them at 7:30 and told them I had to be at work at 9am. Guess what they never came to pick me up. I have to call them back at 8:45 and ask them where the heck are they? No appolgy to why they where not here. They did ask to call the person I had an appointment with and let them know I would be late. When I told them it was work they said Ut oh and hung up the phone. I was 10 minutes late. They did have a bus out to pick me up ASAP once I called the second time. By then I was ready to cry because I was so upset. It is so hard to wait for someone to take me places when I use to drive myself all over the place. I have a prefectly good car that only gets run one day a week when my drive comes on Fridays. At work I was coughing and had a sore throat Oh no I hope I am not getting the flu. Then I was working and got myself so confused that I had to take a break and stop what I was doing I only work 45 hours a month. I then had to go in for my Pap. Yuck. It hurts me so badly. I like my lady doctor but I am so nervous about being so exposed to the world down there. I would not have ever made a good strip tease artist because I do not like exposing my body to the world. Then to Costco. I hate going to Costco but I needed to get cat littler and stuff. I have to pay my driver extra to take me the doctors so we also went to costco. The to the AT&T store. I was told yesterday that if I took an ad off the official AT&t web site into one of the AT&T stores they would honor the offer. Which was for a free phone with a two year activation. Guess what that is what I did and NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO! They do not do that. I was told they never do that. I was so angry I almost started screaming. I complained to the person and let him have a piece of my mind. He then gave me his card and told me to call customer service and see what they can do for me. I got home unloaded groceries. By this time it is 5:30PM. I am so tired. I have to change the cat box and make dinner. But I decided to call AT&T. I was on hold for 15 minutes and then cut off. I was fit to be tied I was ready to turn off my service. I have been a loyal AT&T customer for over 5 years. I called back and was on hold for another 10 minutes. I told the gentleman on the line all the stuff I went through. I told him I was ready to cut off service. I would cut off my home phone, my cell phone and my internet. He appolgized and is paying for the next day shipping on my new phones. I am to call back tomorrow and let them know how much the shipping cost was and they will credit my account. I hope they do it. They my sister called. My older sister has cancer of the thyroid glad and has to have it removed and the doctor thinks she my have kidney cancer. She is so depressed. I am going to stay with her next week when she has her thyroid removed. My older sister is 50 years old and has a 9 year old child. She is so worried about her son. I am going to her home to help out with her son. Now it is 12:07 I am so tired but cannot sleep. I had a bad day and am two nervous to sleep. I have to go in and shower before going to bed. Maybe a good soak in the tub will help me relax. How was your day?

Its so nice to hear that you care. I have not been over doing it. My poor house looks like a wrecking ball came through it. I did clean out the smelling fridg yesterday. I could not stand the smell anymore. Today is laundry and dishes. I hate doing the dishes so I wait until I cannot see the sink. I know it is not good to do but I cannot stand the dishes.

Urgh, poor you. My day was rubbish too. I was depressed anyway because of trouble with my housemates, but then I woke up to my cat having pooped on the landing, showing that she's not ready to come off her medication, which makes me really sad. Then I had a phone call a while later from my partner to say he was coming home because he'd been laid off. We really needed that job and I'm disabled and can't work. Really bad day!

Wales Millennium Centre - The Wales Millenium Centre in Cardiff
I don't watch the show, but I have a feeling seeing that it was the Wales Millennium Centre. Is this it? There's a theatre inside that I've been to a few times. They have operas, ballets etc. there.

Wow, that WAS a bad day! Ever heard of the song of Daniel Powter entitled "Bad Day"? You can hear that song here, and the lyrics too http://paulynramirez.wordpress.com/2007/12/29/song-for-a-bad-day/ I do have days like that once in a while. At times when it starts out bad, I just know that the rest of the day is gonna turn out bad. I think about things that happen, and look forward to the next day. Maybe tomorrow will turn out better. I try to find things that would make me smile or laugh even just for a moment so I could feel a little better. Just let the day go by, relax, maybe tomorrow will be better. You probably woke up on the wrong side of the bed. That's what I would tell myself when things go wrong. Just be happy you are alive and have that chance to determine and see the difference between a good day and a bad day! T

That is what you call a "Murphy's Law" day. Where anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. I am so sorry to hear that you had a hard day. You should be proud of yourself though. You accomplished a lot in one day and that is good. I had a pretty good day yesterday, I washed my hair in the morning also. Then went to therapy. After coming home I did some launday and then soaped my feet. I accomplished everything that I intended to. Today, my day is just starting again. I get up early to take my meds, but go right back to sleep. Most nights, like last night, I did not get to sleep until after 2:00 a.m. My roommate and I both had problems falling asleep last night. After 2, she suggested that we play Boggle. I was thinking that she had to have lost her mind. Maybe she was trying to get me at a disadvantage. She hates playing Boggle with me, because I usually beat her, hehe.

I am not a good speller so I stay away from boogle. I do love other games. I am better today. I have not gotten dressed but I have gotten a few things done. I did watch a DVD of the second season of DR.Who for the BBC channel. I also cleaned out the fridge. It has a funky order. The freezer is next.

My poor sister is so nervous she has called me everyday. She needs me so much. I am going to see her Monday afternoon. She has felt the need to call me still. My sister treats me as a pseudo mom or support. I am the youngest child and she is the oldest. I am the strongest one when it comes to things like this because I am an RN who is disabled. She knows I know what to do in these times even thou she does not only talk about medical needs. I am looking forward to seeing my nephew. He is so wonderful. He is 9 and such a wonderful child. I wish I could bring him home to stay with me for a while but he has school.

Your week is worse than mine. I hope everyone is safe from the fire. I hope you can get the cars fixed in a hurry. When I was growing up we had a chimney fire and I sprayed the house down with the fire extingusher because I did not know where the fire was. I was 14 at the time. We found out that if you just put some water on the fire it will put the chimney fire out. Little did I know that then. Good luck and God Bless.

Well compared to yours mine was wonderful. I hope you're feeling better soon. Anytime you have to deal with AT&T (or any phone company) its a headache. You reminded me that I need to make an appointment for my pap smear. I hate those things too.

It is many days for me that everything seemed to be bad.It was the day like Monday. From the morning when I came to office I have seen there are so many tasks pending for me. Most of all the jobs that we run have all failed the previous night. My God! What a hectic schedule that had been to mail many people, correct those all.As the day progressed they put many more work on my plate. At the end of the day I managed somehow.

Wow its like you have really a bad day today and hopefully tommorrow would be different from what you experience today. Well for me I also had my fair shares of bad days too and I am not looking forward to it but they do come from time to time to test ourselves how far can we go despite this things happening in our lives. Well I would also like to congratulate you for handling your day well and good. although you could have it better but you went through with your day okay. The next day may be another set of new experiences good or bad just continue doing your best to make your day a good one.

WOW I am sooo sorry about your bad day. And to make it worse you hear all of that about your sister. I am really sorry to hear about your sister. They say keep a postive attitude and prayer. I am not sure how religious you are but even doctors say that those who have postive attitudes and pray get better faster. I will keep you in my prayers.

If it is cancer of the kidney I would think they could have gotten it in time. My step- grandfathers daughter had it and had her kidney removed and is fine now. I just worry about her mood. My older sister has always been the "goldern child and she cannot handle things like I can" Thanks for your kind words.
