I hate few things more than wasting a day, but that is what I’ve done today. I waited the whole half hour for my lift bus to arrive and take me to my medical appointment. They didn’t show up so I called. They apologized and said they were running late. I waited another twenty minutes and called again. They said they came to my address and were told I did not live there. They had sent my ride to my old address, although I have told them I have moved no fewer than five separate times. They told me there was nothing they could do, because the bus had moved on and was no longer in the neighborhood. I called the doctor’s office several times but could get only a recording. He must have given his scheduling staff the day after Easter off. I left a message, but have no idea if it got through, so I may be charged for a missed appointment, which my insurance will not cover. To make matters worse, I had awakened at 3:00 AM to deal with an equestrian necessity, and knowing my penchant for sleeping through alarm clocks, I opted to stay up and clean house. So I was pooped. However, I was too tired and too irritated to sleep. I lay in bed and tossed and turned, finally falling asleep late in the day. I feel frustrated over a wasted day. ARGH!!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Oh poor TC – how unbearably frustrating – a series of irritations and stupidities of others all combining to give you a REALLY horrid day – deepest symptathies! I do hope tomorrow is better!
3:44 That sneaky old puddy tat beat me to the swan.
3:55 I'm slowing down on these puzzles. I hope this is not my swan song.
The cat likes swan. {{BURP!!}} 🙂
6:00 – Puzzle
So sorry you had such a wasted unproductive day. It will be better today, I hope.
On a happy note on my end, I found out that my thorn in the side noisy neghbor is moving next week. Hooray! The woman who owns the house is supposed to be moving back. Maybe she will fix the place back up. It's become a dump since the place was rented out. We even had rats in the neighborhood.
Looks like Nevada rancher, Cliven "I'm-a-REAL-Murikan" Bundy has got some 'splaining to do on his dates.
You know how he's been basing his claim on the fact that the land's "been in the family since 1877"? Thanks to some REAL journalism, Court records prove his parents didn't buy the ranch until 1948 from the Leavitts. And they didn't start grazing cattle on the federally managed land until 1954!
And how Bundy tries to claim, "My rights are before the BLM even existed" Well, the Bureau of Land Management was created in 1946 – same year Cliven was born.

No wonder Rethuglicans can't be bothered with FACTS … they have such a Liberal bias!
Nameless, you didn't ctually expdect a Republican to tell the truth about something, did you?
Great find!!
6:06 In the time you finished it, I didn't even have the borders finished. I did eventually realize it wasn't the swan you were labeling Republican, though.
Everyone feels frustrated over a wasted day, but someone who packs as much into his days as you do and accomplishes so much, mostly for others, must be frustrated beyond belief. And I recognize "too tired and irritated to sleep." You start planning out exactly what to say the the agents of the irritation, you get to a point where you realize NOTHING you could say will have any effect, you try to let it go, and then start scripting again. "ARGH!!" is the mot juste all right. Tomorrow (which is now today, I guess) is usually better – I hope yours is MUCH better.
You found a place between my ears to hide.
Your lift bus is obviously run by republicans, incompetence is their middle name.
Time 4:20 – ouch!
Sounds like a bad day at Black Rock, TC. I wish things like this would not happen, but we all know this happen far too often. Someone could not be bothered to change your address information so the bus goes to the wrong address, very frustrating. I do hope that when you explain to the doctors office, there will be no charge.
Here's to better days coming. Take good care yourself.
Sorry you had such a bad day, hope tomorrow will be better.
Thanks everyone. I guessx I needed to vent, but I'm bacl on track, now. 🙂
Take them one at a time TomCat, hopefully you shall get back on track… 😆
