THIS IS INCOHERENT SHOUTING IN A THREAD →[More:]ARGH ARGH ARGH

TUESDAY I COULDN'T GET OUT OF BED BECAUSE THE PAIN WAS TOO BAD AND APPARENTLY THE HOTHOUSE-FLOWER HORSE GOT CHILLED IN THE 60+ DEGREE RAIN WE HAD ALL DAY GODDAMMIT IT WASN'T COLD, BECAUSE YESTERDAY SHE STARTED DOING HER "I DIDN'T DRINK ENOUGH WATER" COLICKING. MY AT-HOME TREATMENT OPTIONS HAVEN'T CLEARED IT UP THIS TIME SO THE VET IS COMING OUT FOR AN EMERGENCY VISIT TODAY. ARGH $$$ AND I'M GONNA GET BEAT UP.

SHE'S HAD ENOUGH PROBLEMS LIKE THIS THAT SHE HAS SOME KIND OF SCAR TISSUE IN THE BACK OF HER THROAT THAT MAKES IT NEAR-IMPOSSIBLE TO GET A NASOGASTRIC TUBE DOWN SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DOPE HER HARD AND THEN WRESTLE WITH HER TO GET THE TUBE IN. I'M ALREADY HAVING BACK PROBLEMS THIS WEEK, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

DIDN'T GET ENOUGH SLEEP LAST NIGHT TRYING TO TAKE CARE OF THE HORSE AND MY BODY HAS CHOSEN TO INTERPRET THAT AS "LOW BLOOD PRESSURE DAY" SO MY DAMNED HEART RATE IS THROUGH THE ROOF TRYING TO COMBAT IT AND I FEEL LIKE MY HEART IS TRYING TO BATTER ITS WAY OUT OF MY CHEST. AND I DIDN'T GET ENOUGH SLEEP SO I'M KINDA INCOHERENT.

ARGH ARGH ARGH

Oh, dear. I laughed at the 'hothouse-flower horse', but your day sounds horrid. So sorry. Sending whuffles.

:( hope it clears up soon and you get some rest.

I've not been feeling very yellish as I stumble aross these yelling threads which I suppose is just as well..

Fuck on a fuckstick. Horse is going to hospital.

I just want to say that it seems incongruous for someone called Galadriel to be either incoherent or shouting.

Though I have to say your shouting is very coherent!

Hope it all goes well for you and the horse.

I'm sorry about your horse, and I hope everything turns out okay.

Also:

I GOT REAR-ENDED THIS MORNING (and not in a remotely fun way) AND DAMMIT, I HAD TIRAMISU FOR BREAKFAST BECAUSE I WAS CRANKY.

SO THERE.

STEW TOTALLY TASTES BETTER THE THIRD OR FOURTH DAY AFTER YOU MAKE IT.

posted by msali 27 January | 14:02

Thanks for the well-wishes. Prognosis good, eventually...we hope. Got my fingers crossed, and that's all I can personally do now.

Philipy, when my dad named me I'm sure he had high hopes for how my personality would turn out, but sadly, I turned out to be my daddy's daughter. Oh well ;)

MADAMINA GETTING REAR ENDED MEANS YOU SHOULD HAVE TIRAMISU FOR BREAKFAST LUNCH AND DINNER. AND STEAK. AND COOKIES. AND BACKRUBS. AND STEW. THREE OR FOUR DAYS LATER STEW. YEAH.

I EMAILED L'OREAL TO FIND OUT WHY "COULEUR EXPERTE" HAS DISAPPEARED FROM SUPERDRUG AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE NOT SELLING IT IN THE UK ANY MORE!!! THERE ARE NO OTHER MID- OR LOW-LIGHT PRODUCTS AVAILABLE IN THE UK, ALL YOU CAN BUY ARE BLONDE HIGHLIGHT KITS WHICH ARE NO GOOD FOR ME.

GRRAAAARRRRRR!!!!

I COMPLETELY GAVE UP ON MY AFTERNOON BECAUSE THERE WAS NO WAY I WAS GOING TO WRITE A 1200 WORD ARTICLE ON THE 80-YEAR HISTORY OF OUR MYTHOLOGY CLASS WITH THE SLIM THREAD OF CONCENTRATION I HAD REMAINING.

SO YES, I AM, IN FACT, GOING TO GET A BACKRUB. MY TAX RETURN IS COMING NEXT WEEK, SO FUCK IT.

AND THE AMAZING JENNIFER HAD BETTER MASSAGE THE CRANK RIGHT OUT OF ME, BECAUSE THIS SHIT IS GETTING OLD.

1. HAD DOC VISIT TODAY AND DUMPED WELLBUTRIN AND REGULAR SEROQUEL 25MG AND ADDED SEROQUEL XR 50MG.

2. HOPEFULLY THAT'LL MEAN NO MORE HEADACHES AND I'LL STOP SIZING UP BRIDGE ABUTMENTS (yes, it has gotten that bad).

3. MCDONALDS CANADA IS NOW CARRYING BISCUIT BREAKFAST SAMMICHES. YAY!

THEY FIRED MY BOSS OUT OF THE BLUE AND THEN ARE REALLY SURPRISED THAT NO ONE IN OUR TEAM IS INTERESTED IN TAKING HIS PLACE AS MANAGER. IT'S LIKE DARTH VADER PROMOTING YOU TO ADMIRAL AFTER HE JUST CHOKED THE LAST ONE.

posted by octothorpe 27 January | 14:48

galadriel, here's hoping your horse is ok. we lost a lovely broodmare to postpartum torsion colic when I was a teenager and it suuuuuuuuucks, not to mention raising a bottle foal is a huge PITA. thank the great FSM that my hunter (gelding) was a tad goofy in the head and "adopted" / socialised the baby or I'd probably still have hoof marks... tho obviously nursing her was a skill he comprehensively lacked, he amply made up for that in so many other ways

IF I HAVE TO BICKER WITH ONE MORE FINANCE TROLL THIS WEEK I AM GOING TO GO ALL DARTH VADER ON THE ENTIRE DEPARTMENT! DON'T YELL AT ME BECAUSE THE VENDOR IS DUNNING YOU FOR SOME INVOICE I RECEIVED INTO THE SYSTEM OVER TWO MONTHS AGO!! YOU DIDN'T CUT THE FREAKING CHECK, AND I PROVED WITH MY MAD PURCHASING-SOFTWARE-FU THAT YOU ARE A NITWIT, SO DEAR FINANCE TROLL YOU ARE THE ONE WHO GETS TO SOLVE THE PROLEM, NOT ME. AND BEING ALL PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE ABOUT IT DOES NOT MAKE YOU LESS OF A NITWIT OR ME WRONG, IT JUST PISSES ME OFF MORE.

ALSO I HAVE BEEN STARTING TO RUN (WELL JOG, REALLY... NO DAMMIT LET'S BE PRECISE AND CALL IT SHUFFLING LIKE A RUPTURED PENSIONER) IN THE MORNINGS AND THE MUSCLE ADAPTATION SORENESS IS KILLING ME! IF I CAN JUST GET THROUGH TWO WEEKS OF UNGODLY PAIN AND CRABWISE STAIR-NEGOTIATION I KNOW IT WILL GET BETTER BUT HOLY FREAKING OW.

You mean... Galadriel is actually your real name.

Wow! :)

I also know an Elrond.

WELL, IN AN APPROPRIATE END TO MY DAY, MY MOM CALLED TO CANCEL SATURDAY'S TWO-BIRTHDAY FAMILY EXCURSION TO CHICAGO, INCLUDING THE FANCY DINNER RESERVATION. IT TOOK US LIKE A MONTH TO ORGANIZE, BUT MY DAD HAS PNEUMONIA AND MY MOM HAS BRONCHITIS.

SO I GUESS WE'RE COMING TO THE MEFI MEETUP AFTER ALL...

posted by Madamina 27 January | 22:52

I HAVE SO MUCH WORK TO DO - THE SALES CONFERENCE IS NEXT WEEK AND I HAVE THREE BOOKS TO PRESENT AND I'VE NEVER PRESENTED BEFORE.

YESTERDAY MY BOSS CALLS IN SICK FOR THE NEXT WEEK SO I SUDDENLY HAVE TO PREPARE AND PRESENT THE BIGGEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY MYSELF AND EVERYONE I NEED TO SPEAK TO ABOUT THE BOOK IS AWAY ON LEAVE - SICK, HOLIDAY AND MATERNITY LEAVE!

ARGH

I hope it gets taken into account in my performance appraisal next month, but I'm pretty sure they've put a freeze on pay increases.

Indeed, it's my name. But when I use it as a username, people tend to think it's a pseudonym, which I find most amusing. And I don't often find it available, since people often grab it early at any site with a lot of users.

Elrond, huh? I hadn't heard that one. I did hear of a pair of siblings named Galadriel and Gandalf. I feel for the Gandalf.

Horse isn't better yet, but isn't worse, and vets think she'll start improving tomorrow. I hope so. The young horses are acting very alone and confused, and I really want her to be better so I can bring her home. I miss her too. She's such a good girl.

I know a brother & sister, Arwen & Hobbit, here in Asheville! They're around my age; I always think their childhoods must have been kinda tough.

I knew a couple of kids in the 70's, outside of Chiloquin, OR. There was a sort of hippie-redneck hybrid out there, and this one couple named their kids Banjo (boy) and Ilandria (girl). Georgette, the mom, was a lay midwife who had the tendency of showing up to births in a drunken state.

OH MY GOD WHEN WE GOT TO THE EQUINE HOSPITAL TO SEE KAT TODAY WE TURNED DOWN THE ROAD TO THE CLINIC AND OUT IN FRONT THERE WAS A BACKHOE WITH A DEAD HORSE DANGLING OFF IT AND IT WAS THE SAME COLOR AS DUCHESS WHO WE LOST LAST NOV AND THEY SENT US AWAY WHILE THEY MOVED HER THEN BECAUSE OH MY GOD PEOPLE SHOULDN'T SEE THAT UNLESS THEY ARE PREPARED AND IT'S NOT UNEXPECTED AND HOLY SHIT WE WERE SO SHOCKED AND UPSET WE RAN OFF THE ROAD AND SAT THERE SHUDDERING.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH.
