EVER HAVE ONE OF THOSE DAYS?

19/04/2019

     Did you ever have one of those days?   You all know the kind of day I am talking about the ones that as the day goes on you do not know if you would rather punch someone right in the face or sit down and cry.   I never made it to bed till 6 am only to be awakened at 8 am by a spam number ringing my phone.   I tried to go back to sleep, and my neighbor called me with something she thought would interest me.   Not long after mid day it started raining.   I sent my niece to the drugstore to pick up some of my meds. and they told her it was not covered by my insurance.   I KNEW IT WAS so I called them and after a half hr on hold i was told it went through and to come get it.   I called my niece who had went to get her husband from work and she brought them to me.   I took it out of the bag and realized no way in hell could a bottle that small be only half full with 90 pills in it.   I counted them there were 30. Sighing I called the drugstore again and got on hold for another 20 minutes.   When I finally got a real person I was eager to hear their expatiation.   They said someone miscounted.   I was in shock is that not one of the first things they teach you in drug school how to count?    They wanted me to come back for a third time and get them.   I was like can't you just mail it to me.   They said we can not send it through the mail.  KEEP IN MIND I HAVE HAD THINGS FEDEXED TO ME FROM THEM BEFORE.   When I pointed that out they agreed to send them out next week fedex.   I have no clue if they are going to make me pay the shipping or not, BUT considering it was their fault they should pay to make it right.    I really do not know how they stay in business.  
     Then a friend called for help with her computer.  I set about trying to help her and while we were waiting for the system restore to work she decided she did not want to talk.   I told her ok and let her get off the phone, but I was thinking to myself I stopped what I was doing to help you and you do not want to stay on the line for 5 min while I finish what I was saying.
     I say today was bad but the fact is the whole week pretty much sucked.   Between misunderstandings with friends and running the shopping cart into my leg yesterday, and getting the cameras I ordered from ebay only to discover one of the sellers  told  big lie bout the condition of the one he was selling.   My only hope is that next week will be muuuuuch better.   And if running the cart into my leg was not bad enough I knocked a metal tray off a table and onto the same heel I hit with the cart.   I am thinking I should have supper and go back to bed and pull the covers over my head tomorrow has got to be better.

ENERGY SUFFOCATION

     I have come to the opinion that there are more the one way to suffocate.   When most of us think of suffocation we think of lack of oxygen, but I really think you can suffocate from a lack of energy too.   Have you ever been at a party or and event when there was someone there that just sucked all the life, energy and fun out of the room.  It is like when you get there everything is lively and happy and people are all talking and having fun, and then someone will enter and as they move their way around the room you can just feel the energy draining out of the whole party.   It is like they are suffocating the party with negative energy.   I have a niece who has that ability.   She can bring a room down in no time at all, and the crazy part is I do not think she even knows she is doing it.   I think it is a kind of emo when no matter what is said or done they take it as an personal attack on them, and then they either get defensive and combative or they get all poor poor pitiful me and whinny.  Thing that makes me craziest is when I feel like they are dismissing me.   When she says what ever to me or it does not matter, but I can tell it does it makes me want to just scream at her, but sometimes it is best to just walk away, unfortunately keeping your own feelings of irritation is not good for your health.   Sometimes I think you should be like someone springing out of a pool and gasping in air after holding your breath too long.   Just let it all out.   If the person that is causing you to feel this way is truly your friend they will forgive your emotional out burst especially if you say sorry. 
   I have a friend we both have problems with our feelings when we are stressed.   Sometimes we end up yelling at each other but we always forgive each other, because we know how it is when things are overwhelming.  I know this sounds like I am rambling again but if you had the week I had you would see the connection and understand it all.  THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME VENT A LITTLE.

  

FRUSTRATED

     Have you ever had someone try to explain something to you that as they go on you realize they themselves have no clue what they are doing?   I asked my bf how to play a card game and he tried but he really did not give me a clue how to play it.   At one point I asked why he could not play a same number card with the set of 3 he already had and he said, because you can't.   I was like seriously how does that tell me anything.   I was trying to understand a game I had never even seen played before and he is giving me nothing to grab onto to understand the game.   Like why do you throw out 1 card but you draw 2.  I asked why draw 2 cards he said because there are 2 decks.  Ok fine that would explain why draw 2 maybe , but it does not explain why only throw out 1 card?   It is so frustrating trying to learn a new game when the person trying to teach you how to play has no clue how to put it in words.  :(

HAPPY ST PATRICK'S DAY

     I am not Irish but sometimes I think I should have been.   I love Celtic music and the dark green of the Irish.   I have a large 4 leaf clover collection, but my favorite thing I do not think even originated in Ireland.   My favorite thing is the shamrock shake.   My brother and his wife stopped by with one for me last night.   I was in the shower when they arrived and my brother has a key so they let themselves in to the house.   Realizing I was in the shower they pulled my bedroom door shut.   I did not think anything about it when I came out of the shower wrapped in a large towel, I noticed my tv in the bedroom was not on the show I had left it on.   I have both tvs running off one box so they both change channels at the same time.   I did not check the channel I just thought the show I had left it on was over, so I opened the bedroom door and stepped into the living room in my towel to change the channel.  I was surprised to see my brother and his wife setting on my couch in the dark.   My sister in law laughed and said didn't you notice the door was closed. I said yes and I thought I did it i usually do.  I said have you never heard of turning on a light? lol it was like that was a foreign concept to them. I hurried and dressed and rejoined them in the living room.   They stayed for about an hr till their daughter started texting them she had to go to work and they were watching the kids.
     Now on a more traditional note.   Some people do not get the concept of of the shamrock.   Some see no difference in a shamrock and a 4 leafed clover.   The thing is in connection with St Patrick's Day there is a difference.   The shamrock became important to the Irish after St Patrick visited Ireland.   He used the shamrock as a way of explaining Christianity to the Irish people.   He told them the 3 leaves of the shamrock were like the father, the son, and the holly spirit ( the trinity) all different parts of the same being like the leaves are all different parts of the same plant.   If he had used a 4 leafed clover to message would not have shown so clearly.   People associate 4 leaved clovers with being lucky because they are hard to find, and there is much talk about the luck of the Irish.  That is most likely why people mix the 2 up.
     I think it is me who is having the luck this year.   After 3 really bad years I am finally having a really good one.n0.gif?v=122   You all heard in detail about my bad years so I plan to tell you about the good things too. n0.gif?v=122.
     My birthday was the 3rd and I made out like a bandit.   I got like twice as much stuff as I usually do this year.   Even thought I fell off the ladder last Sunday the only thing I really hurt was my butt.lol I landed on it. It is still a tiny bit sore, but nothing broken. :)  I have been having a good bit of unexpected blessings coming my way this year, and I am grateful for it all.
I will keep you posted if anything else good happens, and you know I will write about it if it is bad too lol. That is how I deal with bad things I vent in my blog.

     Yesterday was my birthday.   Between like 11 am and 9 pm it was a pretty good day.   I spent a lot of time on the phone with friends and family.   I had a nice nap.   My brother brought me a birthday present, and 2 of my friends made me birthday tournaments.   The day before a friend of mine brought me a bunch of goodies for my birthday including a cute froggy bird house, one of those new Hallmark stand up cards a shamrock shake and a small cake.   She also got me some honey and some money.   Another friend sent me a card with money in it a few days before and another friend got me a ream of paper and a big box of popcorn, and made me a cute card.   All in all most of the day was pretty good.   :)  was about time I got a good one.
