What RUINED your day today?

[MintJulie]

Waking up alive. Discovering when I looked to the side display I am still a "new" pervert. My wife wants a divorce but not yet because first she has to loose weight, feel better about herself, get a job, informed me if I ever left her for another woman she shove it so far up my ass that my tonsils would hurt. But she is always telling me I am her best friend and she's only looking out for me. It would take pages to explain everything about our disfunction and how I look to the new day that waits with some fear, some happiness and some dread.

Waking up alive is always a good thing.   People have all sorts of difficulty in life.  Some days are better than others.  It's how you handle it, and how you fight to overcome the obstacles put in your path, that defines you.   You have the chance to make things better, you always do and always will.  No matter how low things might seem, you can always fight to make it better.  Never stop fighting.  Never surrender.

I mean two broken Kurig's? SHit this is nothing compared to how the heavens have to align for two Kurig's to be broken at the almost the exact same time. What did you do for that Karma??

My Kuerig broke - pump quit.  No coffee for my drive to work.
Get to work.   The Kuerig is broken - pump quit.  
WTH, is it national Kuerig break down day?

Yep, pretty petty in comparison to a lot of things posted here since the topic was created a year and a half ago.   But I've had some pretty terrible things happen to me also that I haven't shared here.  I'm sure many others have also.  This topic isn't a place to compare who has it worst, or to belittle others.  It is just a place to come and vent a little bit.......to blow off some steam.  Not every post needs a response, but if you want to offer words of support or encouragement you are always welcome to.
I hope things get better for you, Pat.  I also hope each day you wake up, you and your wife find happiness together.  I'm happy you joined KB and contribute to our forum.

I had to put a beloved pet down today.  Felt like shit.  The vet followed me out to the car and said, “I’ve been doing this 43 years now, and it never gets easier.  You made the right decision, and have nothing to feel guilty about.”  I thought it was a thoughtful gesture.

I will be doing that soon as well. Hugs.

Did that about 6 weeks ago. Hopefully, it will be a long time before we need to do this again.

And, my youngest daughter had a cat pass away yesterday on their way to the vet.

Thus the reason Mrs JBRG and I are researching a move to more temperate climes. After a week of -25C daytime highs and windchills in the the -35C to -40C range, we are looking harder at better locations than north-central Alberta. Hmmmmm. The south Okanagan valley is looking pretty good. Milder temperatures and OMG, the wine.

...And after a week of decent weather the cold is back.  It kind of sucks, but so would the summer temperatures nearing 40°C in the south Okanagan.  You can always put on more clothes, but there is a limit to the amount you can take off.

This is why I didn't want pets. The kids will lose it if the dog or cat goes.  Especially the 5's, she loves animals.

Broken tooth.  Feels like someone is stabbing me with an ice pick.  It is an old wisdom tooth, so the dentist says extraction is a better option than reconstruction.  I’m popping amoxicillin and OxyContin in the meantime.  Awake for the fourth night in a row.

You likely already know this, but please be extremely careful with oxycontin! As has been widely reported, it's extremely addictive.

Several years ago I had an extreme case of kidney stones and the urologist prescribed hydrocodone, a similar drug to oxycontin. It worked amazingly, the pain began to disappear only a few minutes after taking it, and it made me feel euphoric.

Then I passed the kidney stones (gratefully, without having to resort to a medical procedure), yet I desperately wanted to finish off the bottle of hydrocodone, recalling how wonderful I felt after taking it. Fortunately, I had enough sense to give the bottle with the remaining pills back to him once everything was back to normal. All this helped me to understand both the addictive power of these medications and, as a result, the reason why we're currently in the midst of an opioid crisis.

Got dressed to take the dog for a walk yesterday afternoon. It took me longer to dress for the cold than the walk itself did. We didn't even get 1/2 way around the block. On the plus side, she did her business which ultimately is the purpose.

I heard about this yesterday.

24-year-old woman dies after being struck by stray bullet in Buckeye

Why is there anywhere in the world that just shooting a gun in the air is okay.  This is ridiculous.  This is not okay.  'Asshole's' is right. 
She was a beautiful person who died needlessly.  She was full of love and life and it was all taken away when she was out doing what she loved.  Her poor loved ones.

Flu. I have the immune system of a very healthy horse, got my flu shot, but I did get the flu.

Sounded like a large frog Sunday and Monday. No fever, but my nose is draining into my throat, which makes me queasy. And it makes me cough. Bad coughing all yesterday, better today.

I hate how it drain into my throat.

[MintJulie]

Flu.

   Sorry.  It's been crazy around Michigan.  I hear it is the worst strain in years.  I hope you feel better soon. 

Relax. Sleep. Chicken broth.  Repeat.

Broth, schmoth - whiskey!

Yes, bust out the Macallan's and spend the day on the couch watching game shows or a movie with a blanket covering you.

From yesterday -- freezing rain resulting in slippery sidewalks. Did pretty good walking the dog in the afternoon until I got home. Then damn near did the splits walking into my own garage. No harm. Spread some salt. Waited for it to work then scraped down to the concrete. An hour or so later, the condo complex's contractor came around spreading gravel.
