Today has been the strangest day.. I haven´t felt this miserable in months. It started fairly well with signing a new employment contract, which offers a great chance after my 5 years as a SAHM.. actually something for the good news thread. But I already didn´t feel too well during the meeting, probably due to recovering from a pretty bad infection and still being on antibiotics. Then things went downwards.. I fell with my bicycle on the icy street, hurt my wrist (not too bad luckily), lost my bag with all my money and phone (because I did´t notice it fell out, how thick can you be?), I nearly got run over by a car while trying to pull the broken bike trailer with the kids inside on the pavement, I pulled so hard slightly panicking that every muscle in my upper body hurts now.. when preparing supper I pulled out a knife so clumsily that the whole knife block came down and I tried to catch it with bare hands - again I was lucky and only slightly cut myself. I have a pounding headache because of the three hours Judo-tournament with around 50 kids I attended, my wrist and hand and arms hurt and I just feel like getting really drunk and then just fall into bed..

And congrats for the new contract. 

Blah, Zatoichi, that sounds like a day from hell! You deserve a nice hot bath and a good cup of tea at least! 
Here in Denmark we call a day like that a 'Tycho Brahe Day'. I think you qualify for that!


I didn't have the best of days either... my toothache had gone down, I was still sore... and my I had to end my webcam date with my boyfriend last night earlier (well I convinced him to go to bed because he has the flu and he was yawning his head off... rather than saying I was hurting)... but this morning I woke up in even worse pain than before I saw my dentist; I think I've been biting hard together again; I do that sometimes when I have nightmares.
I grabbed my phone and called the dentist wondering if there was anything I could do to ease it myself. I got an early appointment... which meant I had to rush getting dressed and run to get on the train... 

I forgot I hadn't showered, and I don't think the whiskey I swigged my mouth with went away completely before I went there despite mouthwash and brushing my teeth. Poor dentist! 

I obviously didn't have breakfast either... and no coffee... 

But, the dentist helped, for some reason I now have what feels like a small acid burn inside my mouth but that's okay compared to how I woke up. I have also been given antibiotics that hopefully should kill the infection which is what is giving me pain. 

And to add to my 'misery' my back hurts like hell today. Last night I got a bit of 'cleaning madness' and spent ages cleaning the bathroom and dusting off stuff; practically doing everything I could without waking up my neighbours at midnight. And today I had to finish the job... my best friend is coming tomorrow and I want my home to be clean... 

I just worry how I'll wake up tomorrow. I really look forward to seeing my friend, and I've worked hard; harder than my sick back likes... 
So yeah... 

I am knackered now.

Sounds like you both might.  
Channeling positive energy to both of you.

Ugh....healing vibes and a big hug for Phantom, too.
((((()))))
You two take better care of yourself!

Aww, that sucks, and sorry to hear…     Hope you get some time this weekend to rest it off (and sending good vibes!)


(also, um Phantom?  infection one thing, but did he suggest a mouth guard to help with clenching teeth?)

I wear my mouth guard nightly.
Don't know about in Denmark, but I think they're about £30 a shot over here.
Mine's lasting ok at the moment, but then I've only been wearing it all the time for about a month or so.
Does anybody know if you can put them in the dishwasher?!

I realise that Phantom...but if £30 saves you hundreds of pounds of work!
Of course it may depend on what you can help with!

Thanks...no it sounds as though mine is exactly like yours.
Oh well, tap swill will continue then!

Never thought of that...good tip!
