Today has sucked

I need to get this out before I explode. And since I can't really do it anywhere else, you guys are the (un)lucky guinea pigs! Sorry 'bout that.

Since I woke up the first time this morning, I have:
-Had nightmares, one of which actually ended in me dying (which is supposed to be impossible, but I guess it's not afterall)
-Forgot to grab my medication on the way out, resulting in me being a.) overemtional and stressed, and b.) (partly caused by a) in a lot of pain with my shoulder
-Backed into the basketball hoop with the van and bent it backwards
-Had my lunch spilled onto my lap, resulting in a rather large wet area that has yet to dry (I called for a change of clothes)
-Found out my partner can't make it here this year either, and doesn't know if he'll ever be able to at all (he's extremely, extremely phobic of planes, among other things), which means I get to go out there if/when I can finally raise enough funds
-Found out I'm out of insurance for the rest of the year, which means I have to pay in full for any and all doctor visits (I've all ready got one scheduled)
-Got absolutely nothing constructive done
-Lost the dog's leash when he took off after a deer (I wasn't paying attention and only had a light grip on it), resulting in me running after him in three inch heels. He's not trained either, so he didn't listen to me.
-Forgot it was daylight savings time, and didn't walk the dog like he needed; he's been giving me a guilt trip about it ever since

The day's not over yet. Written like that, it doesn't look like much at all. I'm just super overemotional, and I'm tired, and I hate it. And now I'm done complaining, hopefully for the rest of the night. Thanks.

Remedy, you need to find a remedy for all of that.

That sounds like a bad week all crammed into one day.

Anytime you need a shoulder to cry on or just need to rant;
we are here, we are here, we are here. Hope tomorrow is better.

I just snorted with such force that a bit of snot had to be removed from my upper lip. Come on, Malone.

Thanks. Now that I've calmed down some, I've come to the conclusion that I was overreacting (as I suspected I was).

I have two, but the one in question is a Greater Swiss Mountain dog. He's about 110lbs and fast when he wants to be.

Yeah. He has the biggest doe eyes too, which is amusing, given his girth and build.

Sorry to hear about your day, Remedy. Hope tomorrow will be better.

I had a dog once. She was a really big dog in a really small body. Like if you had a big dog and just squeezed it into a smaller dog. Um... that came out wrong.... Sweet dog, though.

That sounds incredibly frustrating to me, but hopefully the act of writing it all down has made you feel a little better.

Here's hoping tomorrow is better.

(By the way, I've died in a dream before. Shot in the head by my boyfriend, actually. So, not impossible. Urban myth.)
