Today was a shower of shite - anyone else?

[OhToBeASeahorse]

Today can fuck right off.

Not a complete write off, but boy it was freezing with nowhere to go but a sodding walk... with 2 small children... in sub zero temp and fog...

Guess what I'm doing tomorrow?

Did you want to elaborate or just want some ?

Yup it has a fuck off from me too. My washing machine quit last week so I went to the laundrette last night intending to dry it all today. My tumble just quit too

Total shit show

I need to retire, work really gets in the way of life.

Yep, it looks like there's a 70% chance DH has Covid, we're just waiting on the results of his test.

He's OK, just hot and feeling a bit rough. It means that we'll potentially have to isolate until 21st Dec, so the DC will have broken up until 5th January, today. I spent £30 on jumpers for Christmas jumper day for them on Friday which now are unlikely to be used. I'll have to cancel my cut & colour that I've been waiting months for, the dog will miss his haircut and his hair is already in his eyes, I will struggle to get any of the last little bits of stocking fillers, the Christmas food shop will have to be done really late, I had a big Christmas shopping holiday day booked on Friday which will be cancelled, and I'll have to WFH and home school again while DH is ill.

I know that we've not had the results yet, but I have a feeling. I also appreciate this is all very trivial in light of people's health. But I'm really annoyed tonight at the massive inconvenience of the whole bloody thing. I'll get over it, but not just yet.

Shitshow here too. My manager video-interviewed me for a promotion and I bombed so hard I lost respect for myself and him for not just hanging up on me 😬

Yes!
This!

And I keep feeling guilty for feeling like it as others have it worse. But it was awful and has started the week really badly.

Shit here too. Very low today, not sure why really other than the obvious.

I've been a shit parent today and 2everything feels a bit bleak

Yep, bollocks of a day. I'm trying to stay off the wine for a bit too.

So I ate all of Dhs advent calendar.

@MrsJonesAndMe Went to a NT place with 21month old DD with my mum. She cried from the cold half way round the walk from the pushchair despite hat/mittens/cosytoes and I had to carry/cuddle her the rest of the way. That was my only way of seeing family

@HolyBuckets

Yep, bollocks of a day. I'm trying to stay off the wine for a bit too.

Thankyou for making me laugh Hope he's not too mad!

Yep shit day and I don’t even have any wine 🍷 at home to drown my sorrows

Not being arsey but how did you come to the 70% chance?. Surely its 50/50. You either have it or you dont?

I've eaten 3 packets of crisps, a bag of sweets, 6 rich teas and a lump of cheese all day. 2 chicken nuggets and 3 tangerines.

Because I'm stressed and fed up and working from home on little sleep. Panicking about Xmas and work.

I've also just noticed I've returned to chastising myself for writing/ speaking without fully thinking. I think it's a post Covid thing (as in normal life bar fun extras has resumed) Brain dumping. To people I really respect professionally. I'm sooooo embarrassed. And clearly a bit paranoid.

I just want to hide and press reset.

Yep! Husband has Covid so all isolating. One of the kids iPad died, my son has autism so relies on it a lot, tumble dryer extra noisy, rubbish people didn't take our rubbish, hurt my shoulder washing the windows, my husbands firm is firing them all under a fire and rehire to reduce pay and force them to work substantially more hours per week (he works 45 hours a week now) and of course for less money than now,

Yep! It’s been a shit day here too, literally! Arrived home from work to find sewage in the back garden. An hour later (after removing drain covers) it is dark and cold and I am shoulder deep where no one should be shoulder deep. Turns out the problem is too big for me to fix. I’ve had to cancel work tomorrow in order to be here so someone more knowledgeable can sort it, fingers crossed!

Yep. Woke at 4am & couldn’t get back to sleep so I’m exhausted and work has been a struggle. Too tired to eat so had a piece of toast for dinner (fed DS, DH working late so sorting himself) and I’ve been showered and in bed since 6pm but think I’m too wound up from my crappy day to sleep.
How is it only Monday?

Yep, shite day here too. Freezing fog all day and 3 year dd and 19 month old ds have been somewhat difficult since breakfast. Feel like a shite parent as lost my cool with them. Burnt the flapjacks, fell over on the school run. Feel fed up with it all today, the monotony. Drinking wine and cuddling my dogs.

Yes today was shit. Most days are at the moment tbh.

I might have seen you there @Sonicthehedgehogg that's exactly where we went and similar result... only without the benefit of seeing my mum

Bollocks to today indeed. I’m lying in bed, waiting for sleep. So that’s something I suppose...

Yep me! My car broke a few weeks ago so I've been getting the train to work, it's all been very simple and easy no delays or anything. After waking up late and rushing to get the kids ready for school and walk them there I just about make the train to be told no trains running as there has been a fatality a few stops away I managed to get a lift into work and a bus home but that poor bugger has played on my mind all day. So sad 😭

Yikes must be the day for it.
I had an extra long work day full of shit (figurative shit at least) and teen son is being hateful. Youngest keeps hugging me as I've been upset which upsets me more that he's carrying my emotions like his own. Oof. There I go again in tears

Yup. Currently in hospital feeling very sorry for myself.
