Woe is me

This is outing but I really don't care now.
I'm 40 tomorrow.
That in itself is difficult as df died when he was 40 and I'm scared history will repeat itself.
Thanks to Coronavirus I will probably be out of a job within a few days.
Can't go out to do anything coz of the social distancing.
And now I'm sat at the emergency dentist with pain in jaw, neck and head, swollen neck and tongue!
Googled it (don't ever do this) and now I'm shitting myself.
Knowing my luck I'll need antibiotics so won't even be able to get pissed and drown my sorrows.

Please note I am very very aware that this is nothing at the moment compared to so many people going through awful times.

I get you. My birthday is on Saturday and it is just such a miserable time...I am glad to be alive but that is as far as my joy extends! Sorry, not very helpful.

mogloveseggs · 18/03/2020 20:24

You replied that's helpful Smile
I shall raise a glass to you on Saturday. Hope you manage to have a nice day.

Totally understand how you feel. When crap things happen it’s important to have something to look forward to and with so much uncertainty regarding the future, it’s just not possible at the moment to plan anything.
It’s my dd’s birthday next week.
Happy birthday to you for tomorrow!

Thanks all. diva I hope your dd has a lovely birthday.
Have antibiotics, had a tooth ground down and have to have a gum shield thing as I'm grinding my teeth. Soft food only for two weeks to release the stress on my jaw. Not sure when can get that though with all the things going on at the mo.
Bought myself a birthday cake on the way home though.

Happy birthday CakeFlowersWine

It's my ds' 16th birthday soon and I am worried that it will go by without us doing anything. We won't be able to go anywhere and I won't have the money to buy him a great gift. He has had a rough few years so I wanted to make his birthday special.

Thanks all so much. You've made a real difference truly thank you.
Lovely surprise when came home from work.
My dd had plotted with dm and bought me a pandora ring and dm had bought me some flowers, a balloon and a packet of loo roll!
Dark humour in our family.
Feel a little flat but have a delicious lasagna from work and brandy so will eat that and my cake!
Much love to you all
