    Unhappy Have you ever had one of "those" days

    Rant/pity party starts
    Have you ever had one of those wonderful "Hee-Haw" days? You know which kind, "If it wern't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all" kind of days. Well I am having one of them today! My arthritis has flared up in my other knee again, the one that isn't tin. I can't take zombie pills because sleep apneia will keep me awake for 3 days like it did last time. Can't go out on job interviews because I am lame. The jeep is broke AGAIN! With over 100 channels there is nothing on TV that I want to watch!...You know one of "those" days where you are sure the light at the end of the tunnel is a train.
    Rant/pity party ends

    However with a click of my magic wand (mouse) I am transported to a land of sanity for a while!

    Thanks XMTS for being around then I need be picked up!

    Yes, many times Just hang in there... "those" days usually aren't most days thankfully. Sometimes they're around a little too often, but I'm happy to say that even with some of my problems I still manage to luck out a little more often lately. I'm hoping eventually "those" days will be very infrequent, and even when they do come around I'll be more in control with certain situations and just pass it off as a bad day and the next will be better.

    Best wishes to you and good luck with everything. I hope your days improve and stay better and brighter for you for a while.

    I miss it when it was only "Days." I have been stuck in one for years. Okay, I don't have sleep apnea. Best I can do is offer a list of everything I've done, then you do the oppisite.

    Gloom, despair, and agony on me,
    Deep, dark depression, excessive misery,
    If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all,
    Gloom, despair, and agony on me.

    Sorry, had a Hee Haw flashback there.

    Been there done that. I have had days like that, weeks like that, years like that, heck even one decade like that (the 90's were not particularly pleasant for me). Ya just get up in the morning, put one leg at a time into yer, uhhh, kilt, and keep going. Had a friend of mine tell me the best you can do some days is just lean forward real far and try to keep your nose from hitting the ground.

    Sympathy for you friend. Just remember that yin-yang thing, for every bad day there is an equally good one coming, so sit back and bask in anticipation and subsequent glory.

    Thumbs up

    Been there and done that too, my cure is to Suck it up and remember there are others a lot worse off than me. Say a little prayer and give thanks for all I have and get on with me day!

    Hope things get better.

    We've all been there but that never helps when you're in the middle of it.

    Keep on keeping on...........
