I’m feeling slightly better now that I have the following :
- Comfort food for lunch, including steamed dumplings and sushi
- My favorite Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band songs, including Thundercrack and Bring On The Night
- The crossword from The Northern VA Daily
- A hot herbal bath (well, after this post that is)
So please, excuse me while I vent a little.
I woke up super early this morning, with only six hours of sleep so that I could make it to C-CAP. I showered and dressed, and came downstairs to a message on the answering machine. It was the lady at C-CAP telling me that they were closed today. Okay, sure – no problem. I’ll run some errands and go back to bed. I go to pick up my prescription and the pharmacist was extremely rude and trying to rush me. She said it was too early to fill my sleeping pill. I tried explaining to her that I had to double dose when I was sick with that horrible ear infection, because I couldn’t sleep. She looked at me like I was a drug addict. Then I had a few questions about Chantix, and she just rushed through that so fast I was terrified to ask her to repeat herself. I usually don’t get very upset over little things like that, but she really made me want to cry. I hate being judged and rushed, especially when I’m tired.
Leaving the grocery store, I went to get John a new city decal for his car, and I asked them if there was anything we could do about the land lord never plowing the driveway. She told me to get a lawyer and then shut the window in my face (after I got his sticker.) At this point, I was beginning to think it was me. So I went to Chinatown Restaurant for comfort food and after dealing with the waitress, realized it wasn’t me.
Today was just not my day. The saleslady at Michael’s was extremely rude when I asked her if they had any small blue bottles in the back that actually had their corks. I almost got ran off the road on the way home. I was going to get some Pagan supplies at Morgana’s down the street, and even though her hours are clear, she was not open today, with no sign on the door of explanation.
So like I said, I just needed to vent. I’m going to take a nice chamomile bath and get a nap, and then I’m fixing a yummy shrimp and basil dish for dinner. And let me tell you, the temptation to buy yarn to feel better was there today, but I resisted.
Best thing to vent. You’re right in that when your tired everything bothers you a little bit more. Its a sad state of affairs that people find it necessary to be so rude these days. For a country that is becoming more and more service oriented, our customer service sucks! I have discovered that when someone is rude with me, I kill them with kindness, highlighting what a jerk they’re being. Hope you’re off tonight and get some goooood sleep =) Karrie
That makes 2 of us that were having a bad day. I got a call from the clinic today about refilling my nuvaring. The nurse asked if I had gotten my colposcopy yet- I told her that I had discussed it with my Dr. And since my insurance doesn’t cover it, I can’t afford it till after taxes. So, she says to me that they “WILL NOT” refill it again (after this refill) unless I get a colp. Which is ridiculous- since my colp has NOTHING to do with my birth control. Anyways, I called the clinic manager, and told her what happened. I felt much better afterwards. But Mark was pissed!
I’m sorry you had a crap-ass day. I hope it is better now (after that nice bath!)
I’m so sorry about your day Amy 😦 But in the end I think life balances out so I hope that means you have a super fantastic lined up waiting to spring on you. I’m sure Mavy is being extra helpful in the cheering up department
Sorry to hear about your day. That is just nuts. People must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed that day! I’ve had days where people are all rude together in one day. I even had a cashier in Walmart refuse to speak to me in English. So I was rude back in English. Dang living in a French province.
oh amy – we’ve all been there! i hope that the bath and a good night’s sleep will make today much better.
😦 I’m sorry to hear you had such a miserable day – I hate it when there are days like that, it just makes things so hard to deal with! Congrats on holding out on the yarn though – that’s something I need to get a bit of practice in.
I HATE days like that…and I love that you have a shop to go to called Morgana’s. I’m sure there’s a shop around here too, but I haven’t ventured out.
