The Not Happy Thread

Just got some awful news at about 1am last night, in a text from my best friend/housemate. Her mum has breast cancer.

She's having an op soon so we're hoping it'll be done with, but we all know how these things can go on. I just feel so sorry for her. This is every child's worst fear.

All I can do is keep her as happy as I can, be there when she wants to talk about it, and that's all. She's asked if I'll do the Race For Life with her and her mum in May, which of course I said yes to. I've always wanted to do one of this charity runs (or plods in my case) so it's nice to know it'll be keeping her spirits up. Fingers crossed for her mum. x

 

I know something bad is going to happen to me today and I'm dreading it because I know its coming.

 

What's going to happen?

 

Wow, I'm so sorry to hear this! I hope the op clears everything up!

 

Worked six hours writing a scene in a story only to find out that wasn't how I wanted the scene to play out.

 

Am stuck writing a news release at 3 a.m. that I had planned to do earlier today :/ It's what I get for procrastinating (and speaking of which, what am I doing on here....)

 

On a brighter side, you might never know how you want the scene to play out if haven't written the wrong way Always be positive!

 

I am sure you'll be fine.

 

Trivial, but my converses have fallen apart so I was looking forward to getting new shoes - a particular pair I've been wanting for a while - but when I looked round the shops and online I couldn't find them. Have they just disappeared within the last few months?!

 

Well, this is a lesson my grandmother learned and told the family one Thanksgiving dinner: When you see something you like, and you have the money, get it! You may not have another chance.

 

Haha, yeah. I regret not buying it a monthish ago when they were in the sale.

 

I'm sick...again...
to make things worse I have a boatload of homework tonight and I have an orchestra concert tonight which is late and I only found out about today, and it looks like my parents are going to make me go. I'm so sick of being stressed, and tired, and sick. I hate feeling so miserable and not being able to eat normally, or breathe properly, or hear properly, or hvaing no energy no matter how much I sleep. And I can't actually get better because if I miss too much school then I get really behind and it's really hard to make it up, but if I don't stay home all the stress and stuff associated with school means I can't really get better....high school sucks...

ok rant over

 

Watched a video on Albert Woolson, the last surviving member of the Union Army who died in 1957.

I'm sad now. This after hearing about the last US Veteran of WWI dying a few months ago at the age of 110. Why must great heroes die?

 

If they couldn't die, their actions wouldn't be heroic.

 

I loved that story about the WWI vet. It makes me grateful for the sacrifices of our military.

 

Aw, poor you Mal. That must really suck- I hate being sick for longer than a day, but at least I get to stay in bed when I am... you'll have to try to convince your parents to stay home- I mean, you're sick, not like you're gonna enjoy it anyway. You should stay in bed tonight with a big bowl of chicken soup. Hope you feel better real soon!

 

Tobin woke with a rash on his hair line yesterday morning, by lunch his face was covered, by the evening it started showing at the top of his back and on his shoulders. The hospital said he was fine.

Today the rash has spread over his entire back, his chest and his arms. The doctor said he is fine.

My son is covered from head to toe in a red rash that isn't prickly heat, isn't measles, isn't meningitis, isn't anything. He has no symptoms of being ill in any way, but he is covered in a red rash. My poor little man looks terrible and there is nothing I can do to help him and I have to keep him quarantined as it could be viral and contagious.

Only thing he is doing is trying to rip his hair out and grabbing at his head.

 

It may be an allergic reaction to something.

What do you remember him doing when the rash first showed up?

 

Yeah, we've covered all the bases there. Only thing we can think of is that we started him on full-cream milk about a week ago now, instead of formula. So going to try him on lactose free milk and see if that makes a difference.

 

yellowm&M: I hope you feel better soon! Try not to worry too much about whatever is going on at school, and concentrate on getting better - sleep, eat, relax.

Link the Writer: It is sad. I'm going to start reading 'The Last Fighting Tommy' soon, and it's about Harry Patch, a British First World War veteran who lived for 111 years (died in 2009). Everything, and everyone, must come to an end at some point though. :/

Torana: I'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully the cause behind his rash is discovered soon. Poor Tobin.

 

Thanks Eunoia. I'm too paranoid to go to bed. I'm so tired, but want to sit up all night and make sure he's ok.

 

Lydia: Awww, just noticed the picture of the duck. So cute, despite it being sad.

Torana: Aww, I can imagine you'd be like that, worried mothers always are. But remember you need your rest and sleep too. Perhaps take naps so you can still get sleep but can also check on him regularly too?

 

This was in response to yellowm&m lol...do we share a name? If we do, that's pretty awesome.

Anyways, yellow, feel better!!

The girl I split the rent with is SO annoying...she's always having phone drama with her boyfriend.

 

Yup, she's a Mallory too, and there are even more members named Mallory around here! (well, they don't have it as their username)


I'm not happy cause I don't want the burns on my arm to turn into scars. I'm scarry enough already...

 

How did you get burned on the arm, Lydia?
