The Trivial Complaints Thread ... #3

[Mewtwofan1]

Went to bed last night feeling good since I’m watching a movie with my girlfriend this afternoon.
Got woken up at 5 in the morning by a nosebleed and now my pillow is ruined! I suppose I should be glad the mess is limited to just my pillow, but that doesn’t feel like much to be thankful for.

Nosebleeds suck! Sorry about your pillow.

My doctor gave me 800mg ibuprofen tablets for my pain. They work pretty good but make me dizzy, which is mentioned on the bottle. I'm usually dizzy anyway, if I turn my head too quickly. So this is like double dizzy. I need to get my mail and it's a bunch of Amazon packages (USPS delivers them and it's so annoying because they go in the parcel locker instead of to my door!!). Last time I had an Amazon package, I had to take everything out of the box and put it in a bag because the box was too big for me to carry. Trying to carry everything in this order while dizzy isn't going to be easy. I think I'll take two bags with me.

Went to the craft store an hour away to get a paint color that the craft stores here don't carry, only to find that they've also stopped carrying it.  So I went onto Amazon to try and order it and they want $8 a bottle.  That's double what I paid for it at the craft store, which tends to be pricey to begin with.  So now I'm going to try another brand that is available at the craft store closer to me and see if it works instead.  It's just annoying because it seems like as soon as I find a paint product I like the craft stores decide to stop carrying it.  It happened with Testors acrylic paints, too.  Now they only carry the enamels and I don't like those because enamel paints stink.

As I mentioned before, my very old filling came out on Thursday.
Was at the dentist friday getting it prepared for a new fix, which will take a bit of time so I have to have a temporary filling.
...And it already came out *lol*.

Tuesday is coming and it's the fourth day for me to be without a voice. I have also tried not to whisper, which is really difficult! I shouldn't cough at all, but I can't stop it! My throat stings and when a coughing fit comes, I cough almost until I vomit. 

When will I get my voice back..This has never happened to me before.

I've been offered a permanent position at my job! Problem is I have to sign the contract before the 11th as the union ordered a strike/blockade from three pm Thursday and every new hiring from then on are prohibited. Thing is I am home sick.. so I have to get my sick a**e to work to sign the contract..

HoM, I'm sorry you're so ill. Have you taken anything for the sore throat and cough? Manuka honey is good for a sore throat. You can also try gargling with warm salt water.

Beldarna, congrats! Sorry you're sick though.



My complaint today is my left ear. It hurts and it's itchy. I need to see an ear, nose and throat specialist at some point. My ears always feel clogged.

I'm sorry you're sick Beldarna and HOM. 


Yesterday my dad drove the wrong way on a one way street because he was looking for a place to turn around and just turned in to the first place he saw.  On Friday, he turned right in front of an oncoming car (luckily it was in a residential area).  The car he cut off honked their horn and my dad got upset and pulled over to the side of the road to let the other car pass.  It's scary when he drives like that.   

The Dollar Tree sometimes has stuff that works for Barbie sized dioramas. Yesterday, the one we went to had pencil holders that look like trash cans and recycling bins.  I had bought one a while back and thought it had the recycling symbol on it.  I wanted a trash can one so Barbie could have a recycling bin and a trash can.  When I got home, I realized that I had bought one that had the same symbol as the one at home. I should have bought one with the recycling symbol instead.

I had trouble sleeping Sunday night.  Last night, my mom suggested that I take a natural supplement our dr recommended that is supposed to help you fall asleep without making you groggy or sleepy the next day.  I took it last night (maybe I took it too late) and I still feel sleepy now.

I have to meet with one of my drs this week. She's probably going to recommend major surgery soon (When that time comes, I'll start a WYP thread about it).

My complaint today is my left ear. It hurts and it's itchy. I need to see an ear, nose and throat specialist at some point. My ears always feel clogged.

I've eaten a lot of Mynthon-like (sugar-free) pastilles that make me feel a little better during the day, and when I go to bed I take a medicinal tablet (called Codetabs) that suppresses the cough for an even longer time. I've considered warm salt water, but I'm sure I can't because it tastes absolutely awful!    I'm out of honey, so I should remember to look for it in the store.

I hope your left ear gets better soon! I have itchy ears, maybe it's because they are so dry. My mom has the same problem and so did my grandma.  How can all three of us have that problem..

[BlackCurtains]

Mine isn't due to dryness. There was a cat hair in my ear It still hurts but not as bad.

I woke up with a bad headache though. My neck hurts, my teeth hurt. I took some ibuprofen so hopefully it goes away soon.

Surgery's scheduled, but it's still a while before I have it done.

Yup, cat hairs are horrible when they are in the wrong place!  In the ear, mouth, nose, eye, or even under the fingernail! It's even worse if the cat's loose whisker hair goes through the skin, e.g. into the sole of the foot.. Ouch!
Good thing you found and got the cat hair out of your ear! I hope the Ibuprofen made you feel better.

The fifth day without a voice is over. Last night I couldn't sleep at all because of the cough, only in the morning a couple of hours before waking up I had managed to fall into some kind of hibernation state.   
Fortunately, this coming night I can sleep long into the morning without an alarm clock.

I emailed my work supervisor yesterday to explain in general terms why I've missed so many working days this month.  I know she's in the office because she has sent emails out since I emailed her, but as of right now she hasn't responded to the email I sent yet.  To be fair, she probably gets a lot of emails everyday from people.  I don't know if she didn't accept my reasons or if she just has been busy and hasn't had a chance to read through it and respond.  She's usually great about responding so it worries me a little that she might be upset with me for not getting enough working days. It's not like I decided for this month to be like this on purpose. I'm an at will employee so we can be let go for any reason.
