What the fuck happened this week?????

For people who know me IRL this is so outting but who cares.

Week started well, put liquid soap in my hair instead of hair product and had to crack in and dry it as no time to rewash to get the train. Well, it was certainly a different look!
Spend day not only looking like Something About Mary but with constant palpitations, headache and tight chest. Lasts all week.
Then my season ticket smart card got stolen, either pick pocketed or at work. Def stolen not lost. Had to trail round 4 different people at the train station before being told to ring person no 5 and then being sent to a different train station. Finally sorted but at one point thought I’d lost around £800 as ticket pretty new. Home 2 hours late. Just in time for Morrison’s delivery - which turned up late and way past bed time. By this point I could’ve eaten a fried slug and hangry doesn’t cover it. Cats run for cover. Little ginger cat gets own back by diving on my head in middle of the night, not for a love but in full attack mode. I clutch my savaged head and sob quietly.
Next evening, for once not pissing down, so say sod it to feeling shit and ride my pony in floodlit arena. Phone bounces out of pocket, nowhere to be found. Walked round arena for bloody hours looking for it, decided to give it up as a bad job and look in the light the following day.
Precious working at home day today. Long lunch booked to ride in the light. Get to stables, gate is locked, nothing unusual there. Code is in my phone .... have to climb through hedge to get in. As does my trainer who had come to torture me, good job she’s game!
After less than 2 mins, pony’s eye swells up badly - immediate vet job. But I’ve no phone. Trainer rings vet and i have to just sit and wait (normally they ring with an ETA) but I’m supposed to be back working from home with conference calls scheduled!
Find phone in mud in field - hurrah and bigger hurrah someone had left a charger next to the kettle! All hail the god of chargers.
So eventually pony sorted (will be fine) and I make it home with phone and placate everyone who wondered where the hell I was. All good.
Electricity goes off. Affecting 850 properties. Now it’s only affecting 20. Guess who’s sat in the dark!!!!
After pizza, wine and getting to know Tony Chocoloney intimately, I have given myself palpitations again. Am prone to them. So am now going to hide under the duvet AND IM NOT COMING OUT Grin Grin
Tomorrow has got to be better? Right???!!!!

Sounds like a week and a half you've had.

Next week will be better Grin

Northernsoullover · 06/03/2020 21:15

That is quite funny. Next week can't get any worse really

KeepYourWigOn · 06/03/2020 21:19

Sorry you've had such a crap week OP, but thanks for making me chuckle. It never rains but it pours, as my mother would say.

Rewy · 06/03/2020 21:23

Wow < kneels down to worship >
You are fantastic to be so resilient !

Is this your blog?

TitsInAbsentia · 06/03/2020 21:38

Mercury in retrograde....lots of people rubbish it but when I'm going through a bad phase it just happens to coincide!

Glenthebattleostrich · 06/03/2020 21:40

This week a child I mind threw up all over me and it went in my mouth.

Iwouldratherbemuckingout · 06/03/2020 21:44

@ScabbyBabby no blog, just a wine and chocolate fuelled brain dump Grin

Glad made people chuckle, it’s all crap but could be worse! Worse thing in the world for me is a poorly pony, she’s very special. If she’s ok rest I can handle. As long as got wine. Cheers me dears!

God! We all have bad days but the universe is just being mean to you! Tell everyone you've been hanging out with someone who has corona virus and stay in bed for the next 2 weeks, I would.

TheCanyon · 06/03/2020 21:53

Pony ok now? I presume you're ok now? Last time we had a power cut i got my dd's to round up their friends to come entertain me Blush fucking ants in the pants me! Cheers to you Wine

isittooearlyforgin · 06/03/2020 21:53

@Glenthebattleostrich omg!

Iwouldratherbemuckingout · 06/03/2020 21:58

@TheCanyon bottoms up!
Pony much better thanks though most put out by being wrestled to get eye ointment in. Should be able to go out for a potter round the lanes tomorrow thank god.
I’m fine - am being cuddled by 4 cats. No electricity yet though - 4.5 hours so far!

Grin I had to take my twins to the eye clinic on thurs, eye drops here too... I'd imagine I had an easier job!

I'll lend you another cat for heat cause I'm feeling guilty, just put my pre bed heating on

Apocalyptichorsewoman · 06/03/2020 22:16

God- my horse had a sudden swollen eye the other week! Came out of nowhere - we bathed it, and stabled him overnight ( he's usually out 24/7) and the next day it was fine! We were going to call the vet out if it didn't. Hope your ponio is better soon - it's so worrying when they are Ill.

What the fuck happened this week?????
Apocalyptichorsewoman · 06/03/2020 22:17

My poorly horse...

What the fuck happened this week?????
Iwouldratherbemuckingout · 06/03/2020 22:23

@Apocalyptichorsewoman what a cutie! Poor little sausage. My poor girlie had to have antibiotic eye gel. Another pretty chestnut - hmmmmm perhaps the chestnuts have been communicating. Here’s my girlie, only got an action shot in the rain on this iPad.

Cats are so nasty though.

FallonSwift · 06/03/2020 23:03

Sounds like you have had a shit week but I applaud your sense of humour and hope your pony recovers quickly Flowers

Thinkingabout1t · 06/03/2020 23:24

Well done for making it sound funny, when i would have been screaming abuse to the skies ! I’m glad your pony is ok and hope you have a super week ahed to make up for the crappy one.

GuttedinGlasgow · 06/03/2020 23:25

Standard. Here at least. Shrug.

nosleepp · 06/03/2020 23:39
