An accounting of the last 36 hours of my life

ColindaP · January 2011

2 multi-thousand dollar BFNs

4 completely unnecessary PIO shots just so I don't get yelled at Tuesday

1 estrogen patch that's making me short of breath and cranky

1 dog with intestinal parasites

1 dog possibly with intestinal parasites

2 humans worried about intestinal parasites now themselves

2 heaters broken, our house and the rental

1 pool pump broken, the rental

3 HVAC vents leaking rainwater, the rental

1 set of bathroom cabinets sanded for restaining

1 can of the wrong color stain

1 pre-fabbed Corian vanity top with dual sinks bought off craigslist, bought in the wrong size

1 vanity top and 2 sinks now needed to replace it

2 trips to Ace, 3 to Home Depot, and no actual progress made

0 desire to make dinner

There's just no way my car is going to start in the morning.

This crap was supposed to be left behind in 2010. WTF? I hope things get better tomorrow, but maybe you should make sure the jumper cables are ready to go just in case.

ColindaP · January 2011

Actually, rereading this, it's probably unfair to blame the estrogen patch for my mood.

rjl07 · January 2011

I think you're right - the estrogen effects are probably irrelevant. Sorry you are having a crappy day.

GuppyAmy · January 2011

I'm so sorry. What a horrible day and a half! I hope tomorrow is better.

butterfly843 · January 2011

Sending lots of hugs your way.

cutebride73 · January 2011

I'm sorry, what a horrible day 1/2. I really hope that things get better tomorrow.

mdm2137 · January 2011

Well, sh!t. 2011 was supposed to be better. I'm sorry.

Olive44 · January 2011

Yikes. I'm sorry you are having such a craptastic day.

Boo! I'm sorry, you need to catch a break!

Ruger had these big long worms when he was a puppy, right after we first got them. They were roundworms, though, I think. I wasn't wearing my glasses and I took him out to poo and looked at it and was like, when did he eat spaghetti noodles? Then they moved. They treated them with medicine. I hope they are contained in the one dog and that they are just as easy to treat!

And I'm sorry about the BFNs, I know it's annoying to hear, but I'm still holding out some hope since AF hasn't arrived. I hope it's OK for me to say that.

Roundworms are really common in puppies. These worms are flat and segmented, so we think they're tapeworms. Still not a big deal to treat at all. Just a few hundred more bucks at the vet :-(

Re: AF - she ain't comin' till I've stopped the PIO for a few days. I've done 26 shots in the past 12 days. Even on oral progesterone, it took almost a week of not taking it for AF to show.

I am so sorry this all just sucks {{{HUGS}}}

Yeah, I remember you saying they were tapeworms.

I'm sorry you're having to go through all this! It's not fair!

KelinandKevin · January 2011

Dang. Just... dang. I'm sorry hun!

VeilSdeGTO · January 2011

I'm sorry.

pennynjon · January 2011

I am sorry about your BFN, and that sounds like a really bad day. I hope tomorrow is better for you.

I was just thinking about how bad the last part of my day has been. My paralyzed dog is having bloody diarrhea. So, that has meant about five baths for him since 6:00, an extra load of laundry, and a lot of mopping and scrubbing. He has always had a sensitive stomach so I keep medicine for it at home. I just hope it kicks in soon and we aren't up bathing all night.

My vet told me that you can only get tapeworms by ingesting an infected flea. My dog had them once. If that is true at least you won't have to worry about getting them yourself.

LilMaggs · January 2011

*hugs* I am so sorry, Colinda. That is a really crappy 36 hours.

DoingItRight · January 2011

I hope that today turns around for you!!!

heistheloveofmylife · January 2011

So sorry to hear you had such a crappy day, maybe the week ahead will be better. Wink

Pixiestx · January 2011

Ugh, that sucks! I hope today is better, much better.

JuJuBe3 · January 2011

Wow, lady, that is one craptastic set of hours. You deserve better and I hope it gets that way, and damn soon!

babes12 · January 2011

i'm sorry.

ColleenS629 · January 2011

I'm sorry. What a sh!t storm.

heathergirl67 · January 2011

Oh Colinda. Are you getting to the point where things are so bad that you just have to laugh? Because I have to say, it sounds absurd for one person to have so much bad luck. I guess that means you're overdue for some good luck, right? <sigh> I've used that line unsuccessfully too many times. Let's just get drunk. Drinks

I could not agree more strongly with EVERYTHING you just said!
