What’s your eternal hell cycle?

[ladyandthechocolate]

On a long journey, we were talking about the idea of hell cycles (that is an endless scenario you find yourself stuck in for eternity that would really be your worst nightmare). But lightheaded obvs.

They had some really creative ideas (DD thought she’d be in a doughnut eating competition on the back of a moving float to the sound of crying babies whilst wearing clothes with itchy labels).

This was mine:

I’m in a busy soft play which is hot, loud and smells of grease and nappies. I’m looking after multiple children who all want something from me, or for me to crawl through impossibly tight spaces with them. I’ve got a hangover with a banging headache and wet socks from where I have trodden in something unidentified and I’ve got no other adults with me for solidarity.

What are yours?

7am. the doorbell shrills...
(really does shrill)
again
again
each time it's a a big lorry driver asking me where oil tank. gas tank. electricity boxes are (in dream I dont know)
or the bailiffs or p squad coming for past tenants.

Great question, OP xo

so glad you don't have that experience anymore xx

I have a massive mortgage and the house has developed a large split in the middle and is slowly sinking into the ground (it turns out it was built on a piranha and crocodile infested swamp which is starting to bubble into the small garden). I have to leave my five year old triplets home alone playing in the garden so I can do my day jobs, which I have to combine to fit in my evening work to save the house.

My day jobs are simultaneous toddler care (I am over ratio at 7 screechy babies/toddlers to 1) and cleaner of festival portaloos and slaughterhouses. The toddler care job only finishes at midnight so overlaps with my evening job of clearing up glass in a dodgy, norovirus-ridden nightclub which only plays the same three Christmas songs at full volume all night long, every night and smells strongly of a combination of vomit and urine (or worse) as its toilets are always out of order so people just go into the corner or their glasses. I had 30 mins sleep again last night and my conjunctivitis means I can hardly see, which is why I am wearing the leather trousers two sizes too small for me with the scratchy jumper.
