The 'What happened to you today' thread

[Mauin]

Yesterday was shopping day. The only thing I really remember was the old man in Tim Hortons who seem to only "speak" *randomly waves around the same piece of trash*. Seriously... The guy was just sitting there in his chair, waving this piece of trash around while staring at me. I have no idea what he wanted. I had heard him speak to the woman who had been sitting with him before (I'm assuming his wife, who had left him to sit in their truck), so I don't know why he didn't just say anything. I guess he wanted me to stand up in the middle of my meal to throw out his garbage, since, when I shook my head as a no, he stood up and tossed it out anyway. The garbage is right beside the door. He passed right by it on his way out to his wife. Not sure if he was lazy or what. Of course, he probably decided I was some disrespectful little kid for that.

Well, my mom did attempt to make chili yesterday. Attempt. She lacked proper chili seasoning (or the ingredients to make some), so she added in a chili citrus spice. Or whatever it is. Now it's basically inedible (too spicy. I rather like being able to breathe...). I had made biscuits to go along with the chili, but I'm pretty sure my biscuits turned out better. Despite the fact that they're rather dry. And incredibly bland.

Today continued the trend of baking. There was three brown bananas sitting in the kitchen, so I used those and a bag of chocolate chips to make a batch of banana chocolate chip muffins. They're better than the biscuits, at least. And the chili.

Anyway, I've spent most of my day messing around on my computer. I would have done something else, but my right foot is acting up rather badly. Apparently it's a little dry. My heel is cracked so badly that it keeps bleeding and the little toe split on the bottom. It hurts. A lot. I've been hobbling along all day trying not to make the foot even worse.

Eh. It's getting late, so I'm off to bed.

I've had an interesting week. On Tuesday, there was a leak at the hub and it created a big puddle. Thankfully, it only lasted a few minutes and the college was able to deal with it quickly. On Wednesday, i labelled a lot of envelopes by myself due to a co-worker leaving during my lunch break. On Thursday, it was a bit of a stressful day. Me and my old supervisor went through over 1000 envelopes to remove a certain age group from them. We didn't get the job done due to us not getting what we needed and there was just no organisation at all. We only got it half done and that was just the labellign of the envelopes.

Yesterday, It was fun. I threw balls at my co-workers in another office. On the 11th, i'll be going to a beach for a work related event.

Today, I supervised a new lad at the charity shop and showed him around. It was also dead for most of the day and i was a bit bored. I will be living on Pastabake for the next 3 days due to cash issues.

[Alarra]

Thursday, I went to Lunch by the River, and after work I went to the library, where I witnessed a guy being charged with disorderly conduct as I was leaving.

Friday, I discovered that the lady who owns the big house next to my apartment is really [&@%!]. (Not quite firsthand; I witnessed her going off when my neighbor was on her balcony putting up a mosquito net, and this culminated in her pacing up and down her yard singing about how it was HER house and land.)

Today, my mom and sister visited my apartment (it was the first time my sis was here.) We went to the festival/fair thing that my town currently has going on, and then later on I went to a friend's college graduation party.

[Musicman247]

Yesterday was my wife's last day at her job, so to celebrate we went out to eat and got her a new computer (the one she was using was owned by the school district). She got a new Surface Pro 3, and man is it nice.

Today I put an adult diaper over my shorts to play a baby at iRead, my theatre troupe's summer reading encouragement program. Not an experience I would want to do again. Requested to be the narrator at the next one. (:

[Dohva.]

^Congrats to wifey on the new computer.

So I gave myself a boy short haircut last night. It looks tidy and even but...sigh...here we go short. Its for the best though, now my hair can grow back healthier.

This morning has started with a bang: no water and no electricty powering our stove or computer. Its being looked into but still annoying.

[BetaB17]

So quite a bit has happened over the few days if I do say so<_< managed to get caught up on some studies and hell even some of my shows while I was at it. Got myself a very much beloved potted plant that is ever in my reach.. ah peppermint.. Beta's equivalent of catnip laced with all things good ^_^ Also yesterday I got to go to the mall with my friend Chelsea and a few of her friends. I have to say, normally when I go to the mall I never buy myself something.. with what little funds I still have... but now I have myself a white lab jacket to call my own. Now I'm considering if I shall wear it now as we speak and go out into the world like some evil mad scientist >:D only to prove to all just how mad I really am

On a smaller note, with the weather in good condition.. though brighter and warmer than my own tastes.. I've been able to resume some casual physical activities. Hopefully I can get back to former, partially athletic and mildly sickly self, grown tired of this extra weight I've gathered >__<

[Mauin]

I've found myself on the couch for most of the past few days. Monster headache. Today wasn't much different, though it did eventually go away.

I watched/listened to Doctor Who series 7. Part one. I swear coming off antidepressants (yes, that's still going after nearly a month) is like permanent PMSing. Parts that didn't make me cry before made me bawl this time around. It was almost funny.

Once the headache did finally go away (an hour or two after I finished watching Doctor Who), I wandered off to my computer to mess around. Played a bit of Skyrim (I'm still hoping that doing Juib's quest will stop my saves from dying) and browsed Imgur.

I was actually playing with the dog earlier, but my mother decided to spray some of the anti-chewing spray (even though it doesn't work) that she mixed with hot sauce on the DVD stand... Oh, gods. That stuff traveled through the whole living room. I inhaled it while I was chasing the dog around and I haven't been able to stop coughing since. That crap burns. Mostly the hot sauce, but... Ugh. That was a really bad idea. My throat is sensitive enough as it is. Now it's going to be even worse for a day or so. This is making my head hurt again.

Eh. I think I'm going to go to bed, though. It's getting late. And hot. It's hot in here.

[Evol]

@Mauin
I hope you are feeling better today. I know how much it sucks coming off antidepressants. They are just as bad as coming off H.
Word of advice, something that helped me. Do something physical. Get that blood flowing, release those endorphins thru natural internal means. Your body is prolly used to external stimulation (antidepressants) to generate those brain chemicals so much so that the natural ways have been forgotten by your brain. And your brain isn't gonna learn how to do it itself, well it'll take a long time, so its easier if you "JumpStart" your brains way of operating.
I hope that made sense. I have a problem with putting what's in my head into clear comprehendable words but I do my best. Feel better.

[Alarra]

The most unusual thing that happened today was that the train was stopped on the tracks, effectively dividing the city in two, on the way home from work. For half an hour. I've met the train there before, maybe 5-10 minutes as goes through, but here it was just stopped and so I just had to sit in the grass and wait. The heat and the wait weren't so bad; the worst part of it was that extremely loud train crossing bell ringing over and over and over for that long.

[Mauin]

@Evol:
You do realize that I work out almost daily, yeah? Despite my best efforts, it ain't doing [&@%!]. For hormonal issues or [&@%!] weight loss.
I swear... I can live with messed up emotions (to an extent. I dislike anxiety so severe it feels like somebody is trying to strangle me), but the uncontrollable weight gain is driving me mad. Healthy diet + exercise should result in lost weight. Evidently not if you've been on an antidepressant that disagrees with you.
Simulated low thyroid. Of course, my mother is in a similar situation. Except, in her case, it's because of an actual thyroid problem (Graves' Disease, followed by radioactive iodine treatment, followed by hormone replacement because her thyroid was killed).

@Alarra:
That reminds me of the time I saw a train stop for lunch at Tim Hortons. The train stopped at the highway on the edge of the city. While it was blocking traffic, I saw somebody go sprinting off the train to the Tim Hortons place that we were driving to. They got something, ran back to the train, and it continued on its journey.



I think I spent most of my day writing. I was working on a story based around the Great Gate that opens outside of Bruma during that quest in Oblivion. I did get that one finished. The next one I'm planning is a story for the same character. This time centering around the end of the Oblivion Crisis and the losses that my character suffers. I should be able to write that one tomorrow. Then I just have to type them both.

Other than that, I went downstairs and used the machines for as long as I could. My throat is still severely irritated from my mother's anti-chew hot sauce mist that she sprayed around yesterday. I'm not even sure why. I swear the dog likes that stuff. It burnt my throat a bit, though, and now I can't stop coughing.
Although, to add onto the fun, my right tonsil is getting sore. And swelling. And bleeding (a bit). My mother thinks they should be removed. I told her that she wouldn't be able to convince the doctors that it was necessary (I don't think it is). The only remove tonsils if they get infected too much.
Granted, I seem to have permanent tonsil irritation (and a nice croak to go with it. Oh, and Kraken breath from the tonsil stones), but it's not enough to get them removed.

Eh... What else did I do today? Can't really remember. I do know that I made some crepes, played some Skyrim, and played a bit of Oblivion.
The good news about Skyrim is that it seems Jiub's quest was the one responsible for slaughtering my saves over and over again. Why? Nobody knows. I just hope it doesn't do that on console. If it does... Ugh. I don't like doing that quest. I get lost so easily.

Right. Uh... Yeah, I'm just going to go to bed. It's midnight anyway. I had intended to go to bed an hour ago, but apparently not. I got distracted. Mostly about the crap that's flying around about the new Imgur loading icon.

[GUM!!!!]

Well I had my graduation today. So that was kinda fun.. after the hour or so long ceremony we had a dance, which all in all was pretty fun, even though the music was rather bland (almost consisting of exclusively top ten hits), after that I went to my friends party and got a tad bit drunk, which was pretty fun.. with some story's im sure I'll remember.

Spoiler:

I apologise if my grammar isn't the best as of right now, seeing as I just got back about an hour ago.. :$

[POMC S117]

[&@%!] French have me stranded in Gatwick because my flight to Glasgow was redirected. So, now I'm holed up at the Hilton Hotel in Brighton until Saturday with a rather [&@%!] wi-fi connection.

[leroybrown]

Phone issue has finally been resolved!! Ahhhh so relieved. Thanks to Musicman (Azura be with you) I went from an EVO to an EVO LTE, dropped a shoddy/scammy insurance plan (now saving over $100 annually) and most importantly managed to Matrix-style dodge all the BS from Sprint.

That's what you get for going to France.

well you know the french, you can't trust them for much outside looking snooty and looking down on other cultures

[Baloth-Kul]

This thread reeks of irony all of a sudden.

Today, my parents crossed the border, and they're gone for the weekend. Woohoo, time to have a crazy party! Oh wait, I barely have any friends irl, and I hate large social events. Oh well. I guess it's making my own meals (mostly out of the microwave) and playing the 360.

Which isn't that different from any other day, really!

[Dark Spark]

Ahh, Brighton: the farthest south one can go in England without drowning or being French. There is debate as to which is the worse fate.

[The SheoDovah]

POMC, you have my condelences. No-one should have to go to France. Damn French and their fine food and women.

Anyway, i've had a productive week. I got paid so naturally, i brought some books and films. Got Die Hard 1 and 2, The fifth Element,Independence Day, Crouching Tiger hidden dragon and the entire Red Dwarf franchise. Ok, i only have series 1 to 8 but that was cheap. Only cost me £12 for the boxset and it was brand new from a charity shop. I picked up more GOT books, the hobbit , the third hunger games book and a few Darren Shan Demonica books. I'm beyond out of room. I was busy at work this week and my review is on the 7th. I know i'll do well as i've improved a lot and i am [&@%!] excelent at my job. This isn't [&@%!]. I can actually say this whilst backing it up.

I kinda almost forgot to pay my rent and council tax this month as well. Oh and i just remembered i picked up Taken from the charity shop that i work at every saturday. The first one. tis excellent and Liam Neelson does an excellent job. Shame that the second one was a bit meh. Well from what i've heard it's a bit meh.

Greatest movie of all time.

[Mauin]

I got up this morning with the intention of typing out my last story. I never got around to it. I've had a nasty headache and some equally bad nausea for most of the day. The fact that it has been storming almost constantly doesn't help. Most of my time was spent browsing the internet from my laptop while lying on the couch trying not to barf on the thing.

I took some Gravol earlier, though, and it seems to have helped. I just spent a while playing Morrowind. I finished the Bloodmoon main quest for the first time (not a werewolf). The whole 'music' part of the one quest kept making me laugh; I thought the 'music' involved sounded more like somebody ripping massive farts.
Werewolf form was amusing me as well, though it's more of a combination of mods than anything. And an unfortunate hand/paw placement while attacking.

I think it's time for me to go to bed now, though. It's getting late. I can continue working on Raven Rock tomorrow.

[Alarra]

Today I went to a baseball game after work to watch the city's team play - the field is just a few blocks from here. They were having "Bacon Appreciation Night", where they sold bacon-themed food including bacon-wrapped shrimp, bacon-wrapped hot dogs, bacon on a stick (dipped in maple syrup or chocolate), and chocolate ice cream sundaes with bacon bits on them. The shrimp was absolutely excellent. The home team ended up losing, thanks in part to a terrible referee, but it was fun anyway.

[AKB]

I have mostly recovered from surgery, I just had the first meal in a long while I could easily keep down without almost passing out from exertion. Still on pain medication, but I've gained enough control over my inner workings again to go about my life once more.

Oh, and I learned that morphine is an amazing drug. The pain I felt the day I went off of it was so much more excruciating since I literally was dancing everywhere I walked I was feeling so fine the day before.

[The SheoDovah]

Hope you get better soon, AKB! UESP needs it's evil overlord that tortures us on a daily basis Alpha Kenny Buddy!

Alarra, Bacon and chocolate sounds like an odd combination.

I just worked today. Played some DAO and i'm almost finished redcliffe. Next quest, the Urn of Sacred Ashes! aka, this is the part where the game kicks the Dovah's arse.

[AKB]

I remember abusing a glitch in the second area to get to max level at the start of that game, makes the rest much better balanced.

[The SheoDovah]

I think that's fixed on the PS3 Ultimate Edition. Tis one of my all time favourite RPGs and it should take me untill DAI comes out due to how little time i spend playing games nowaday because of my job. Most days, i'm not in the mood to play a game after work. I've only spent almost 20 hours in total on DAO and have only scratched the surface. I'm using poisons for the first time. I never use them for some reason and i've looked on the DA wiki to see what potions will make me a lot of coins. Turns out the Reaper's Cudgel, a weapon unlocked by completing GOA on hard or nightmare is worth over 1k. I can't tell if that's false information, Bioware accidentally overpriced it or they did it on purpose so that players could pretty much break the game in terms of having coin.
