How was your day?

[shouldigoorshouldistay]

My day was okay. Uneventful. Had the day off work so caught up on some washing, baked an apple cake, that sort of thing.

Was your day more interesting than mine? Please say yes Feel free to use this space to rant, ramble, anything!

P.S. Not a journo. Just hoping that people had a good day!

I worked to hard and too late. But dh is making me my dinner now.

I hope you can get some rest now @AdelindSchade

A very difficult patient put in a complaint against me. I offered her the options for the care that she needed, she disagreed with all of them, called me a murderer and put in a complaint against me. Great.

I'm on day 9 of isolating as covid positive and I'm so bored. There are things I could have been doing but I just wasn't in the mood for any of it. As awful as it sounds I'm sick of being stuck with DH and DC 24/7 (who are also bored and equally sick of me I'll bet) and I can't wait to get out and go to work on Thursday.

Fucking awful

Pretty crap. Two job disappointments in one day, daughter has diarrhoea, plus I am going through a bout of extreme unhappiness over my divorce (I left him, still recovering from his abuse, he has found love).

It's my dead mum's birthday. Not my favourite day.

Lots of cheerful replies here

I won £2 on a scratchcard so my day was slightly better than everyone elses

Our 18 month old fosterling learned to walk at the weekend and is getting braver every day.

The same 18 month old has no words yet but was able to tell me he wanted his drink by "Ah, ah, ah"ing at me (his way of saying "I want something") then taking my hand and leading me to the dining room table where his cup was an extending his hand toward it. When I gave him his water he was so excited!

Not bad for a boy with a brain injury

Oh and DH won £25 on the premium bonds!

I had a long awaited mental health assessment with a specialist MH team. Lots of probing, difficult questions, tears and awkward stuff. Got through it thinking this will help, I can finally get help and start fixing myself.

18 month waiting list for any actual support after the Initial assessment

Currently drinking wine and refusing to talk about it at home.

bloodywhitecat, thats so good well done to him. Hearing that has cheered me up bit

Internal voice relentlessly told me I'm not good enough today. Yuk. Hopefully will wake up with a better mindset tomorrow.

Well on the negative side I got a snotty work email. I’d done nothing wrong. And others in my team have had similar emails from the same person. So it’s her that is being unreasonable. But it’s still annoying.

On the positive side I made good progress on my 1000 piece black and white jigsaw! It is soooo hard! And I went up a couple of levels in my online poker game! Simple pleasures.

Well no patients threatened to sue anyone today so I think that's a win/win

Woke up tired after bad night's sleep, and have remained tired most of the day.

Awful. Very bad parenting fail and told I have to go work in the office full time while everyone else out of a team of 5 can work from home. I'm looking for a new job and gave dc lots of cuddles tonight. So overall shitty but trying to turn it around!

for everyone having a tough day
I managed to get out in the sunshine and do something just for me, it was lovely

Woke up buzzing with energy and did some gardening before work. Crashed by midday.
Slightly stressed planning an event for mid December. Scared to confirm and possibly lose money- probably very annoying for the venues 😬

This was me last week. Waiting list of over a year for specialist treatment but finally on the waiting list.

Have they offered any immediate short term support in the mean time?
It’s so hard to psyche yourself up to ask for help then dredge up painful stuff so you can get the help you need only to be told it’s not going to be anytime soon. Please be gentle with yourself and be proud of getting through the assessment and asking for what you (even if it won’t be straight away)

Sorry for those having a shit day...
4 of my kids went back to school today so have spent the day catching up on errands and other boring jobs but at least they are all done.
Made a chilli chicken stir fry thing and had a chat with older two. One has just started a new job he likes and the eldest is very early pregnant which Im so pleased about for her as has miscarriage earlier this year so I have everything crossed for her.
It's quite nice to say that actually as I'm sworn to secrecy in real life.

On the one hand my day was good, varied, and I feel I did a good job. On the other hand I'm in the midst of endless hot flushes, day and night for weeks now, and I feel ratty and foggy headed.

I have my third cold in 4 weeks so I am feeling quite fed up. I just can't seem to shake it off. Got a decent amount done at work today but dreading tomorrow as I know I'll feel rubbish and would rather be in bed.

On the plus side, I have no plans at all for Saturday so I will be doing nothing all day in an attempt to get myself better!

Sending love and unMumsnetty hugs to everyone having a shit day. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. I hope that the power of Mumsnet will cheer at least one person on today.

Thanks, OP. Sorry to be an absolute downer in your thread

On the plus side, I had a delicious pastry for breakfast and I made a final decision to lay flooring that I love
