What a Crappy Day

I don't even feel like talking about it, but part of that is because I only had like three hours of sleep, then went out and did a bunch of things to prepare for our pending move, plus went to a book store to enjoy the day a bit (although that didn't go perfectly, either). I'll be going to bed soon. I just wanted to tell someone how upset I am, because I don't want to make my boyfriend feel bad any more. I didn't mean to, but my OCD stresses him out sometimes, too.

Maybe I'll post what happened tomorrow or Monday, if I get time. I just needed someone to know.

hope tomorrow is better for you ((((((((Maven))))))))

Thanks.

Hi Maven,
Sorry you had a crappy day. I also hope tomorrow is better. I also hope you got to sleep on the side of the bed without the spring!

Please let us know how you're doing tomorrow.
Take care,
Okie

Maven I hope today is a better day. Take care.

Hey Maven, moving? yuck I hate getting ready to move. Sorry you are having a rough time. I hope today and the next days are better. Hang in there.

(((((((((((((((((((((Maven)))))))))))))))))))))

I still don't have time to tell you all about yesterday--and today, because today was crappy, too--but I'll try to tell you tomorrow. The first day was a stupid OCD thing, and today was furniture shopping. I thought furniture shopping would be fun, but yeesh! Is it a pain! (Especially when you can't get what you really like.)

I don't know about you, but when I first got an apartment, furniture was a luxery--dupmster diving was the primary source of everything. Today, I do have a couch I bought...it may have been a pain to go buy it, but at least its new and its all mine. I really hate to shop...or I'd probably have more furniture. Hopefully, you find what you want and it all fits in your house.

Good luck and I truly hope your day gets better. Moving is ranked as a highly stressful event--be nice to yourself and don't forget to take care of yourself.

Maven, take a measuring tape when you shop. I learned the hard way that furniture looks a heck of a lot smaller in the store than in my apartment!

Hugs,

Jan

Hi Maven,

Some days can be so bad, that it makes us feel like we will never again have a good day.

Moving is always stressful.

Hugs,

And today, the basement flooded!!!!! It poured rain, part of the carpet got wet and needs replacing now, and there's like an inch of standing water around the washer and dryer (which, fortunately, are on palettes).

And I still don't have time to tell you about the other day yet. Sheesh!

I hope your future days won't be as crappy as yesterday. Keep on going.

Ohhhh sounds like a sucky time of it ...

My boyfriend and a couple of guys got 40 gallons of water out of the basement, but more kept coming in! He's going to talk to the original owner tomorrow, because he's supposed to meet him at the house. He's going to ask if it's happened before, and what he did. My bf's thinking of hiring a contractor to handle the problem, but that's more money we really don't have to spend.

Because of all this, we may not be moving as soon as we'd planned. We hoped to be in the new house by the weekend, or shortly after, but now, we may have to put it off for as long as a month or till the end of our lease (the end of next month).

I'm pretty sure my bf has an anxiety problem, because he worries a lot, gets very negative often, gets a lot of "buyer's remorse," especially with big purchases, and often seems like he's going to crack. I don't mean crack, as in become violent or dangerous, but like he's just going to break down crying miserably. It increases my own anxiety. When he's driving, he loses his temper with bad drivers--which I understand, but sometimes it makes me nervous. When he's really stressed, it makes me especially nervous, because he sometimes has jerk reactions...not as jerky or violent as most, but enough to make me worry about sudden moves with a car, you know?

He cusses and insults the drivers and pedestrians who do wrong and dumb things. I'm not upset that he gets angry at them, but he loses his temper a little more than I think he should. Maybe I'm just oversensitive to it, and he's not as bad as most you see in "road rage" videos, but it's a little more than I think is healthy.

(((((((Maven)))))))

So sorry for your crappy days

The flooding has been terrible. I'm lucky and haven't had any issues with it, but many folks around me have had problems. I'm also getting ready for a move in a week and a half. I have no energy for this and it's stressing me big time.

I don't think you are being oversensitive about your bf's road rage. If something strikes you as being not quite right, then it most defiinetely is. We need to listen to those little gut instincts. I hope you can help him to find a better outlet for his anger and anxiety.

Good luck to you both hon.....hope things get better for you real quick!

Hugsssssss

You need to check out www.connectwithkids.com. They have some great info dealing with these types of issues.
hope it helps.

Thanks, mollydaisy. I'll check that out.

((((((Sabau)))))) I sympathize with your moving issues, too. Moving is stressful, especially when things don't go smoothly.

Things could be worse...I've seen images on the news of people in nearby areas whose whole homes have been flooded. Lots of damage.

My bf doesn't think it is road rage. I don't argue with him, because it can get very bitter. And right now, I don't want him upset more.

He's at the house right now. He was supposed to meet with the previous owner, so I'm assuming he did that, but I don't know if they're still together. I think he's working more on the flooding problem.

I hope to have enough money to buy my own home one day soon. That might be a bit too optimistic, but I can hope. I mean a home that's suitable for me, of course...decent, clean, new (if not new), everything in good shape, great location, nice yard, etc. And all-new furniture and nice things for it. Things will be better where I have more control.
