Nailed in Dodgeball?

disbelief11A card I recently purchased said, "Sometimes it's a hopscotch day and sometimes it's a getting nailed in dodgeball day." (or something close to that.) Today has been one of those dodgeball days.
Wait, I'm being too melodramatic. Today hasn't been quite as bad as the worst day I've ever had. No one I know has died or been diagnosed with cancer, ferchrissakes. Nope, not the worst day at all.
But it has been one of those days where nothing seemed quite right, where I couldn't kick it out of first gear. The general ickiness was compounded (or indeed caused by) a cascade of hormones that conspired to turn me into a bitchy, moany, pissy person. And on those days, it's extra difficult for me to find that source of joy within myself that enables me to rise above it all.
Hm, perhaps there needs to be a third kind of day, at the very least....something that conveys just a general feeling of malaise. Not too bad, not too good. Just so-so, just "eh." Let's see, if I'm continuing this school days metaphor, how about Substitute Teacher Day? Or Mystery Meat Stew Day? Or Teased By The Cool Kids Day? Or Taunted In Gym Class Day? I don't know. Anyone have any ideas?
I do feel better now, thanks to my friends. Whether they knew it or not,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
anathema666 , kstanley, tresca, and wubba all helped me today. They made me smile and laugh, and made me feel loved. Thank you! I hope I can return the favor someday.
In other news, I am thrilled that Mr. Terribly Happy has given me permission to gush about his moichandise here. I had ordered some Terribly Happy Stuff last week and received it over the weekend. Woohoo, great stuff!
I ordered the Evil Bendy, Pirate Bendy, and the Terribly Happy Affirmation Ball (henceforth known as THAB). I am now officially head-over-heels for Pirate Bendy. And the THAB is kick-ass too.
One of the sayings on the THAB is "Your breath is so Minty!" Heh. I laugh every time I get that one. I can just imagine the Smallville writers sitting there, trying to come up with some inspiration for the next scene...and turning to the THAB. Poor Pete, they must have a special "non-verbal communication" ball for his character.
