bad day

[raven]

Today I got overslept, got soaked, got my card declined randomly (though the bank are as mystified as I am), then broke a tooth, and thought the day couldn't get any worse. And then I was in a minor car accident, and while I'm okay, I'm fine, I'm just a bit shaken up, I think I am going to eat dinner and take a bath and possibly have a glass of wine.

Oh, lord, flist, it's been a horrible day. Tell me happy stuff happening in your lives, and that I am not as stupid and ridiculous as I think I am right now. (The accident was entirely my fault, and the other parties were very nice about it, but, cringe, now the shock is wearing off I'm dying of embarrassment. Oh fail.)

Stumbling across from the Latest Things page...

I don't have much to offer but this, but I'll offer it anyway:

*hugs tight* <3

*hugs*

*many hugs, also lots of tea*

I seem to have become the household cat-whisperer.

You are not stupid or ridiculous. *big hugs* Arg, clumsy days happen to everyone, and that one time I nearly ran into a cyclist was probably the most scared I've ever been.

Happy things - I am learning about GRAMMAR. This makes me very happy.

I saw your LJ entry first so commented there, but *hugs*

Asha is currently grooming Willow behind the ears and Willow is pulling a ridiculous face because of it, all scrunched up what-no-I-washed-this-morning-honest objection.

That really really does sound like a hellish day. I hope you had that glass of wine, and then some more.
You are fabulous: you are clever and funny and caring and wonderful.

Happy things: in less than 4 days I'll be in my hometown. I'll see the brighter sun, and see people I love. Also, I'll drink the coffee that makes me happy deep in my soul.

Love you honey <3

Oh, you, you make me happy. <3 I hope you are having a lovely time at home. :)

Glad you are OK - minor car accidents are definitely to be avoided, and I write from experience.

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I really am okay, and that's definitely something to be grateful for, but. Aaaaaargh.

You are wonderful! And not stupid or ridiculous at all. You are charming and beautiful and brilliant. And I'm glad you are okay.

Happy things: Lulu is fluffy and purry. And it's finally actually autumn and leaves are falling. And today I helped a 2nd-grader make a mask of a cat with a mustache and a chimney on its head. And I got a brownie at Starbucks on the way home. And I did my homework in the bath. And I think I will be Scaredy Squirrel (http://www.tbpl.ca/kidszone/6-8/goodbooks.asp?id=5881&cid=2678) for Halloween.

oh, you poor dear. I want to wrap you in a blanket and feed you a soothing drink. Perhaps full of rum.

um. . . I met someone from online in real life, and we really clicked! And I found a new sushi place to go to, which is lovely, since my old sushi place decided to let the baby chef prepare food for the customers and just, no, send him back to the nursery for a while, please.

Oh dear, that does sound like a terrible horrible no good very bad day by any stretch. I'm glad you're okay. You are neither stupid nor ridiculous. Only awesome.

Something happy in my life? I'm going to a NY Comic Con Geek Girls tweet up on Friday. and NY Comic Con over the weekend. Sadly, Paul McGann is not going to be there as originally planned.

Fender benders are just the perfect end to a crap day, aren't they? Hopefully the bath and wine will do the trick and you'll wake up less unsettled by it all, ready to tackle the world again.

And you're not stupid and ridiculous. Apparently you just like to get your craptastic unfortunate catastrophes out of the way all at once. You should be covered for quite awhile, I would think.

Good things for me include the fact that my fever broke so I'm coming out of the flu, I did not get into a wreck despite a few close calls (driving over an hour round trip in the rain sick as I am to get to the doctor was kind of stupid), I'm re-reading Anne of Green Gables and Anne always makes me happy, I got to watch The Princess Bride today which also always makes me happy, my dad's going to the grocery store for me tomorrow (I couldn't handle another stop after the doctor's and I will run out of soup and jell-o and where I live one really does have to drive everywhere) so I can rest up and kick this in time for work Wednesday, and I got to talk to my mom today which makes me happy (and she ended our conversation with a question about why her printer's not doing what she wants it to and that always makes me laugh since I'm not there and don't have the manual and can't see what's happening and so can't ever really help her, but she keeps asking me anyway).

The best I can do with happy stuff is that I reached a landmark stage in my marking, and have been enjoying watching more familiar actors turn up in unfamiliar roles in old television... "but that's Miss Lemon from Poirot - playing Cleopatra Berenice..! And her sister (also Cleopatra) is Marlene from Only Fools and Horses..."

[icepixie]

Oh no! Glad you're okay.

[highfantastical.livejournal.com]

Oh no, what a horrid day. So relieved you weren't injured or anything, in the accident. Poor you. *hugs*

[gamesiplay.livejournal.com]

god, I think that takes the prize for Worst Day Ever. I'm glad you're all in one piece. And seriously, if no one was hurt and the other people weren't upset, then cut yourself some slack on the car accident. It happens to just about everyone eventually.

You are not stupid at all. You can DRIVE a car. So you're one up on me. :)

Happy things for me: I survived today. I have white wine and cookies. I'm looking forward to a good night's sleep. My mother and my girlfriend are writing letters to each other. I got invited to a low-key housewarming party this weekend. I love my advisor with a near-fangirlish intensity. And somewhere in this town tonight, a lot of lesbians are eating a lot of cheese.

Agh, so glad you're OK. And you are not ridiculous. They tell me driving's a very scary thing, and I do not know how you guys deal with it. I'd panic, I'm pretty sure of it.

[thistlerose.livejournal.com]

*HUG* Any one of those things would be enough to shake a person up. All of them together is just ridiculously unfair. Have some wine and a good soak - you deserve it.

Happy stuff? I saw a baby giraffe at the zoo today. He was born in August and he's so little - only eight feet tall.

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

He is adorable! Not as adorable as the meeean walrus in the bottom row of panels. Look at his adorable meeeeean little face! Baths are great and so are you. :)

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Yay for sushi! And for rum. Why don't I keep spirits in the house for this eventuality. Mm, rum.

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Thaaaank you. Post-glass of wine I do feel a teeny bit better. Yay, Comic Con! Have a lovely time.

Apparently you just like to get your craptastic unfortunate catastrophes out of the way all at once.

Thia made me laugh! Thank you. hurrah for no more flu and for Anne, she is lovely.

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Thanks, honey. :)

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you for hugs. Thank goodness the day is over.
