Daily whine

This Monday was my usual massage. I got a call over the weekend that my regular therapist was going to be at a class and so I had a sub. She was ok, but not as good as the regular girl. Between massage and PT, I have had much less pain lately, but this week I have been in so much pain and I think that's why.

So, I just got a call from my PT's office. My PT is out sick so they were going to cancel (my therapist is out at a conference until next week as well). I told them I was in pain so they put me on another therapists schedule. I am just worried that she is going to be as ineffective as my massage therapist and I want to cry.

Also, Mr. Winged is having a work function tonight so I am having to pay a babysitter to stay with Dagger during therapy and I will be extra pissed to go through all this for nothing.

Re: Daily whine

  • Dude, I hope your PT helps.  Although I have to say it's hard for me to feel bad after any whine that starts with "This Monday was my usual massage."

    My cat Moe is having an ECHO this afternoon to try and figure out what's causing his heart murmur.  It could be nothing or it could be pretty serious, but the next two hours are going to CRAWL.

  • that is a double whammy of frustration and forced lowered expectations. Damn! i will hope for you that there is an off chance that the substitute PT turns out to be really great.

    my whine is that bedtime was ridonkulous and bad and screamy last night, really bizarre and out of the ordinary she won't let me leave for ever and ever. and culminated with derek going up there, asking her what was wrong and to calm down, use her words, and she goes "I'm...(hic) scared...(sniffle sniffle)..of MONSTERS!!!"  in the most dramatic way possible.

    FML. we're going to do this now?

  • My usual therapist feeds me grapes and fans me too. I want my grapes and fanning!

    Poor moe. i hope everything is ok!

  • oh crap. I fear for the discovery of monsters.
  • Sorry for the whine inducing situations all around. My sister can't even utter the word Monster around my niece. It's the m word.

  • Shiit katie, no advice, but that has to be rough.

  • i'm still partially skeptical of the whole monster thing...she has all kinds of monster stuffed animals that are her 'friends' and she's never spoken ill of monsters or indicated that they were remotely scary before last night. and i kiiiind of felt like it was within the realm of possibility that when derek asked "what are you scared of?" that she was just rolling with it and feeding him a line. this suspicion makes me feel like JerkMom.

  • kids are amazing little manipulators. But i hate to not take them seriously.

    Dagger loves monkeys. loves. He even sleeps with a stuffed monkey. But, he freaks out at the monkeys at Rainforest Cafe or if he sees one on tv. Sometimes the connections their little brains work seem to defy logic.

    He also loves our hanging porch swing. Loves to swing in it. But he freaks out on the swing at the park. Even the one that looks like our porch swing and I will sit in it WITH him. He cries.

  • those are good points. and for the record, i responded to it as i would any other legitimate complaint. luckily she fell asleep shortly after that.

  • Katie, it's time to call in Chip Coffey.

    I already tried him, toddler monsters are above his pay grade.

    I love Chip Coffey.

    I started tracking calories in an app and I need to whine how few calories it wants to allow me and how many calories some seemingly healthy things have in them. Blah.  I want to lose the squish around my middle though.

  • You guys, I can't tell you how often we enter Dead Time around here.

    It's 10:30, it's Dead Time.

    What time is it, Pete? 2:00? Holy sh!t, it's Dead Time. 

     

    I could listen to Chip Coffey talk FOR DAYS. 

  • me too! i just can't quit that stupid show ever ever, and the main reason is chip coffey.

  • Monday couch, but who is Chip Coffey?  Also Katie get you some monster spray.   She had an old perfume bottle that she filled with water and both my niece and nephew sprayed it when they got scared. Totally worked.

  • When I was younger I would wait to flush the toilet until my hands were washed, the door was open, and I had one foot out of it. I told my parents I didn't like the sound and had sensitive ears. Really though I was pretty convinced once you flush that it opensup a portal to monster land and they can fly out. I feel Allison's pain.

    My whine for the day is this week is so busy and I have not been able to get on until at night when everyone is gone. I miss nesting.

  • after watching the movie Gremlins I was legitimately concerned that a gremlin would come out of the toilet and eat me butt first if i had to get up in the middle of the night to pee.

    A rat bit my mom in the ass when she got up to pee in the middle of the night as a kid.

    She keeps the bathroom light on pretty much all the time now.

    Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.
  • GAH!

    once a snake slithered out of the outhouse toilet seat in between my dad's first  cousin's legs at our [extremely rustic] cabin once!!

  • Oh man. Those shows are still on and my DVR isn't recording them? Shoot.

    My whine is that Open Enrollment sucks. I really hate that it kind of makes me hate people. I also really hate that it's making me miss my regular boxing/kickboxing classes. I need to punch something or I'll go insane because of employees' stupidity.

  • My whine is that I went to switch the water today and found out the previous owners didn't pay it. It's $1100. I cried today. This week sucks. I want to get college drunk this weekend.
