The not happy thread

Everytime I try to go to bed early, someone wakes me up. Alwayysss.

 

I just can't sleep.

 

Sophie - try bananas mashed into milk.
I'm highly stressed since someone who has caused me some serious harm over the last year or so has disclosed some bad news of her own on a webring. I have posted my sympathy, which has gone RIGHT against the grain and my more basic instincts. I expect to break out in spots before the morning.

 

i am unhappy because i hurt myself at last night's track meet.

my hip had been bothering me for a week, but it hadn't been excruciating pain or anything. was running my sprints last night when i collapsed back at my team's area. my hip felt like it was being stabbed with a knife. went to the doctor's today and said that my itb muscle was extremely strained and could be torn. told me i can't run track until at least monday, and i have to miss this saturday's track meet. it's the carey relays, my favorite meet of the year (and the one that i'm most needed for, so coach is going to be mad)

today sux

 

Its as if that persistant pain was your body warning you that it was breaking and needed rest....



Runners can be so damn silly some times.

 

Volleyball players are worse. I manage the team at our high school, and so a lot of my time is spent fixing up injured players, and giving massages (addicts..) One of my girls (who is incredibly dedicated) had to spend the 2 hours before each game lying on the floor with a heating pad on her back, during time outs, I'd have to massage her back, and on more than one occasion she ended up lying on the sidelines in excruciating pain because of her back. She did this for about half our season. One game she went into with both wrists taped, her thumb tape, tape just above the elbow, and two ankle braces.

She's a wreck. But I love her. She threw her shoulder out last week in softball, and played with a fresh black eye during her last game.

 

My runner friend ran a marathon on a broken foot. :shakes head:

 

I test for my driver's license on Friday. I hate waiting to be evaluated on things; the wait is almost always worse than the evaluation itself. :\

 

One of my players played an entire season with an ovarian cyst. Another played the last half of our season pregnant. Lots of stuff.

*sigh* and to think, I don't get paid for this...

 

I just drank a mega Rockstar... I know it's mostly just B vitamins so I dont know why, but in a few minutes my heart will start racing and my head will hurt more than it does right now (which is pretty damn bad).

At least I'll get all my papers written and my test studied for --which I'll likely fail that test anyway, even though I found out what the essay questions are and what the main subjects are from people in a previous class. I just suck when it comes to his tests.
(BTW I've been working since 330PM, now 1050PM. I took a 2.5 hour break from 5-730PM to eat, shower, and take a powernap. I feel like I'm gonna die. I'm just now taking another break.)

Thank Claude that Spring Break starts at 305PM tomorrow afternoon (although my personal break doesnt start until about 11PM that evening since I'll be working until 8 or 9PM, packing for college trips, etc). This break has been strategically placed. Another week of this and I very well would lose my mind.

BRAIN IS QUICKLY TURNING INTO MUSH.

 

awww.....*huggles* i know how you feel. my spring break doesn't start until next thursday. and during my spring break (which is only thursday, friday, and monday) i have to write a seven page research paper for my university composition class, plus other high school homework. *sigh* wish i had some energy drinks to chug

in response to my last post: yeah, i knew the persistant pain was something wrong. but since most runners get shin splints or have problems with their hamstrings, i thought it was just normal hurting (our team has never had a hip injury). at least i ignored my coach, who wanted me to keep running on it, and went to the doctors. now, instead of running the risk of tearing the muscle and being out for the rest of the season, i'm only going to be out for a week

 

I woke up this morning with a dislocated toe. I hate my genetic disorder. Always falling apart. Never hurt the toe before. At least it is a new pain.

 

Not to sound trite, but that's a great opening for a story. :redface:

 

Thanks Wrey. At least my weirdness rare disorder is good for something. LOL

 

Back when I used to go to church, we learned the books of the bible and the book of mormon (I was mormon) by putting them to song...too bad I didn't get on sooner, I could have taught you the song and you could have wowed everyone with it!

I hope you memorized everything.

Good luck!!!

Man, I wish I had a spring break...I miss those.

And I used to drink like two or three rockstars a day, but now every time I drink one, that's what happens to me. Once I had to go home from work early because it made me so sick.


I'm unhappy because I played an elaborate April Fool's joke on my fiance yesterday and he said that to get me back he was going to have one of his coworkers call and tell me he had been in an accident (he flies helicopters) and was in the hospital. I have nightmares about this every night as it is, so I didn't think that was very nice...and now I keep thinking about it.

 

Hello! What is suffering for if not to get published?

 

I did. And, actually, one of my friends (also mormon) tried to teach me the song. Didn't work.

 

Well, go you for getting it all memorized, even if the song didn't work. There's a lot that I don't remember from my mormon days, but I could probably still rattle that off...oh, the weird, random things that my memory retains...

 

hahaha, yeah. Mine does that too. I was pretty impressed. Plus I got a batch of the best cookies in the world to boot!

 

Hooray for cookies!


I am unhappy because it is my day off tomorrow (finally!) and my fiance will be working 7am to 7pm. Boo.

At least it's Gerard Butler marathon night tomorrow...

 

Well, today was the last day of the course which I have found to be a nighmare. Despite this, I brought in something for the last day "celebrations", helped out, played the game by participating fully in the mornings activities. Then, at the lunch someone who has been to my house ONCE was extremely rude to me about the way I keep my dogs in front of the whole table, then when I got the cheque for completing the course (expenses) it was short and the organisers say "so what".
I left before the desserts in tears and I haven't been able to stop since. I walked around town doing the essentials then got home and bawled my eyes out. I've had a nap, been woken up by the dogs who want to go out and burst into tears again. This kid said I was cruel to keep the dogs in the house and I should leave them loose outside as they "needed their freedom" and if they got run over, so what, they were only dogs. A lot of people around here keep their dogs loose and not even restricted to a yard. They are filthy, not fed properly, never get their shots or veterinary attention and are totally wild. My neighbour is a sheep farmer, if any dog got in with the sheep they would be shot.
Maybe she wants my dogs dead.
Anyway, I'm off to walk my ill-treated perfectly healthy, well-adjusted, happy, decently fed and cared for mutts.

 

Dalouise...that person is an idiot. The most important thing to a dog is the pack...that means you and your family. They need exercise and time outside, sure, but they need to live where the family is..inside. I am sure your dogs are great dogs living a wonderful happy doggie life.

 

I just bit my tongue really hard and it is bleeding. Oops. Oh, and my friend I was supposed to go to a party with tonight called to say her daughter is having bad allergies to the point where her throat is closing up...so I may not be going to the party...but mostly I am worried for little Bailey.

 

Wow, I have never heard anyone say that you're mistreating your dogs by keeping them inside. My parents keep their dog outside, and they are constantly criticized because they should let him stay inside. Just ignore them-they obviously have no idea how you take care of your dogs, having been to your house ONCE, and it's ridiculous that they would even bring it up like that. Don't be sad!

I hope your friend's daughter feels better! Allergies make my throat close up, so I've been there...no picnic...

 

Thanks Carmina and hiddennovelist, I feel a bit better now.
I would never comment on how a person keeps their dogs, and really it's a bit much for such a comment from a native of a Country which has a pretty bad reputation for animal welfare.
Anyway, we've been out and done a brisk mile in the rain. Now that the course is finished, we can get back to doing that TWICE a day.
If only that person knew how many hundreds of hours, gallons of fuel and phone bills I have run up over the years doing rescue.
