I had a day full of little heartbreaks yesterday…
I had terrible diarrhoea through the night after a very rich meal. I have never so much as farted in front of my DP in almost 15 years but was in such a hurry to get to the toilet I left the bedroom and bathroom doors open.
Despite there being a bit of distance between the rooms it sounded like my bowels had an orchestra playing and he said later he couldn’t decide if it was the right thing to get up and shut the doors and acknowledge it or ignore it.
I lost all my dignity that night and one day I might laugh but I was too embarrassed and exhausted and spent the night on the loo.
Finally fell asleep in the morning to be woken up at 8.15 by a bastard cold caller! I fell asleep again and this time the cat jumps on the bed wanting feeding. It was my day off and I could have had a lie in but ended up getting up.
In a sleep deprived daze I thought a bacon sandwich might cheer me up, we had bacon, we had bread butter and ketchup… we also had a huge thunder storm that knocked the power out.
After eating some cheese and crackers scrolling on my phone I went to put my plate in the sink that had the previous nights dishes soaking in. I was so tired I threw my phone in the sink instead of the plate. It took me a good 10 seconds of staring at the plate confused until I realised! Luckily the phone survived and is still working.
The day continued to be a total disaster so me & DP decided to go out for tea for Wetherspoons pizza (surprisingly good and cheap) except they had everything on the menu available except pizza. We picked up one from the local takeaway instead that was twice the price and a total disappointment.
I was finally ready to see the back of a shitty day at 10.30 and went to bed exhausted. I woke up as I often do nowadays at 2.30am and can’t get back to sleep despite being shattered. I tried to read a book I was finding really boring but it got interesting, I stumbled onto this thread and now I feel less alone with my troubles.
I thought my day was bad but reading the PP about wanting to stroke a lovely cat but it going inside made me realise it could have been so much worse.
I might actually get some sleep now knowing that other people suffered equal trauma 😂.
