OK... so... today sucked. It sucked hard.

But before I get to that... a Ziesen Pesach to everyone! Hope your holiday is wonderful! *hugs on a Seimei*

1. Got up at 7 AM to leave DE by 8 AM. Pouring rain all the way home. Plus? Made really good time, believe it or not.

2. Missed weigh-in at the 11 AM WW meeting by... mm... 10 minutes. Fail.

3. Got to my parents', unloaded stuff from car, showed off new phone. Not doing too bad. Still pouring.

4. 12:40 -- left house to go to 1 PM WW meeting to weigh in before doctor's appointment. Asshole ran a stop sign at an intersection (I didn't have one) and being as it was still pouring I ran right into him. Mostly cosmetic damage to my car, but now I'm shaken, somewhat sore, missing my WW weigh in again... and late for my doctor's appointment. Doctor won't be in again for a week. Damn it!

5. Call back doctor to say, "Please, please, please can I come in, even though I'm running late. Receptionist takes pity on me, says OK. FTW! Only now... I'm soaking wet and freezing because I just spent 30 minutes standing out in the rain. *grumps* Nothing like knowing you're going to spend two hours in a waiting room, soaking wet and cold...

6. Finally get to doctor at 1:40, sign in. Spend next 90 minutes killing my back (and now sore shoulder and hip) in the most uncomfortable chairs in existence. I swear orthopedists pick out chairs designed to drum them up more business. Almost couldn't straighten up when I finally stood. Owie.

7. Forgot my book in the car. Boredboredbored for the next 90 minutes. FML. Thank G-d for

msorange21 and my new phone or I'd have gone insane.

8. Talk to doctor about the fact that nothing has changed in the last 30 days, in spite of faithfully doing my exercises and losing weight, it still hurts when I lift > 30 lbs. Getting desperate to go back to work, so what the hell else can I do?
Doctor says, "How about a cortisone injection?"
Me: *twitch* I've had three.
Doctor: Really? *looks at notes*
Me: *to self* No, I just miraculously made all the improvements I did make completely on my own, dipshit.
Doctor: Huh, well we'll do another one. Sacro-iliac this time.
Me: I thought three was the max you could have in one year?
Doctor: No, 4 is OK.
Me: *to self* News to me... *sigh* Fine. What the hell's one more, right? Guess I won't be going back to work this month, either.
Doctor: Yeah... you really need to find a new job. The people you work for suck.
Me: *massive twitch* *grits teeth* I'm working on it.

8a. When a potential new job e-mails you on a Wednesday, three weeks after you send them your resume, that they'd like you to come by next week and you e-mail them back the next day (Thursday) and say, "Yeah! Tues/Wed would be great! Which is good for you?" Is it reasonable to assume that they should e-mail back by Monday at the latest? SNAFU.

9. Get home, exhausted, wet, freezing, not happy. Go upstairs to shower... and there's almost no hot water. Just enough for a quick shower. Great. Take care of shower, dress, hair, feeling better. Hop online to check FB, LJ, etc... and start having trouble reading the screen. Huh? What's...? No. Oh no. Nonono. Nooooooooooooooo!! *wails* I can not be having a migraine aura on top of all the rest of the shit that happened today! Brain, you suck!!

9a. Dig through every bag and likely place in my bedroom looking for Excedrin. Find none. Fuck. Fuckfuck. Fuckety fuck. Barrel down the stairs to beg my parents for Excedrin which I know they don't use. Mom finds and old bottle in the downstairs medicine cabinet. My mom, FTW!! Pop my Excedrin and pray it kicks in.

9b. Get invited to see Ryness on May 10 at Joe's Pub --

msorange21 saves the day again! ^_^ Get teased by my Uncle that I seem to be making going to see shows my new career. Hmmm... doesn't sound so bad to me! ^_^

10. Aura fades, guests arrive for seder. Seder starts. Doing OK until the parsley... then the migraine hits. Fuck! Can't even drink the really good Red Zin that my Uncle bought specifically for me, because... I spent the rest of the seder and meal alternately eating and running into the computer room to curl up with the lights off and pray that I won't see what I ate immediately reappear. Continue doing this for the rest of the evening. Completely disregard counting points, probably fucked the rest of the week. *sigh*

11. Finally give up at 8 PM, flee upstairs to sit in the dark and type this rant. Nausea slowly fading, feeling somewhat better, even though head is still pounding and feels like it may fall off any second. Really hope this doesn't turn into a four day ordeal.

Fuck. My. Life. *thud*

I now return you to your regularly scheduled f-list.

*expires*

Awww.... glad I could help a bit during the day! Hope you are feeling better soon hon! {{huggles}}

*hugs* You did, you really did. :) I'm mostly over the nausea -- sitting in the dark helped -- and the migraine has finally faded to manageable proportions. :-P This doesn't feel like it's going to be a four-dayer. Thank goodness. O_o;;; I had just gotten to the point where I was so frustrated with the day that I needed to put in on "paper" and get it away from me. :-P

*lil' squee* Less than 48 hours! ^_^

*hugs* I hope tomorrow is better for you. Our seder was really small this year - just mom, dad, brother and me, but we had fun. I want to say Happy Pesach, but with how you are feeling, I'll just offer hugs and hope that things look up. You've had so much trouble with jobs. It seems horribly unfair. :(

*hugs* You can say "Happy Pesach." ^_^ I'm glad you guys had a nice seder -- small is actually often better. I've noticed that some of my favorite memories of holidays are ones were my family didn't even go to synagogue but just pulled out our prayer books and had services at home within the family. ^_^

And as for me... honestly, I look at it as though it was good luck that it was Pesach. See, usually I don't get an aura before a migraine and thus can't take anything in time to head off the worst of it. Yesterday, I did. One in only 6 times in my life that I was able to take something for the migraine soon enough to actually help -- as proof, I'm feeling better today. *pause* Of course... I'm awake at 5 AM... but I went to bed at 10 for the first time in 4 or 5 weeks and my cat woke me up because he wanted to play. *shrugs* Then again, who can complain about 7 full hours of sleep? ^_^

Also, that accident could have been a hell of a lot worse than it was. So, all in all, I'm kind of glad someone was clearly watching out for me yesterday. ^_^

As for the job... yeah. I think the problem is that veterinarians don't know how to be managers/bosses. They don't train to be, so they suck at it. :-P Someday I'll find a good job that I can stick with that won't kill my back. I have faith. ^_^

Anyway, thanks for the holiday thoughts! I wish all the best on you and yours, as well! I know you haven't had the easiest time of it, either... *hugs*
