    Got my own girl problems. Hey, I hear you say in that tone of 'God, here he goes again', you always have girl problems. Yeah, that's true enough, I'll freely admit it. But this is taking the mick even by my standards.

    First, there was R. She got with this other guy, so I got the phone number of R2 (inevitable jokes not appreciated, unless someone can put an original slant on them). Me and R2 don't have anything going on, but I like the lass. But - here's the complicated bit - then there's L. Remember the girl who accidentally drove into a wall a couple of years back? Her. She's back from London. Not sure how long for. I still have a bit of a chip on my shoulder about not getting with her, and I don't want to regret it. So it's the Countdown conundrum. Do I see what L's doing when I see her this evening for the first time in a long time, or do I push on with R, who's going to be round regardless and let L perhaps go back to London soon as someone definitely from the past? Hmm. Interesting.

    And now it's time to throw in the fact I'm almost 1,000 words behind my target for the week. Still up to 6,600, and I'll be up to 7,000 before I head into the shower, but it's still annoying.

    And lots of dark greens with it, if you are low on iron? Have you had your blood pressure checked?

    Went into a tackle with one of the lads last week. It was a proper full-blooded 50/50, and I won the ball. Unfortunately, it turns out he's broken his foot in the challenge. Poor lad's only 16. Feel utterly miserable now, really ruined my day.

    Aw, dude, don't feel bad! Potential injuries are a risk people take when they decide to play sports, it's not your fault. :(

    Ironically, it's what I'm writing my dissertation on. I just feel bad because he's only a kid. When I was going in I should have realised who I was tackling and that he's smaller and lighter than me and that I'm far stronger than he is. As it was I just saw the ball and the player coming in, I realised I had to go in hard to get the ball otherwise he had the run on me and I just went in for it. End result is I win the ball and keep my feet, he collides with me, goes flying and ends up injured.

    I'm sure he doesn't blame you, he knew who he was playing against. And he'll heal and be right back to playing! Don't beat yourself up over it, everyone digs a good battle scar, right? ;)

    Edit: In my bad news world, I have to relearn all the math I learned in high school and then promptly forgot when I realized that I didn't have to take math in college. Stupid GRE...

    my partner is currently 50 kms away is our car... why am I not happy about that? Because there was a weird noise coming from our car yesterday and found out today that it is highly possible that it is the main bearings in the motor. I'm now super stressed out because he has no mobile coverage and I can't phone him to check he is alright and to let him know about the car and we have to get a new car tomorrow and he doesn't even know yet. I'm ready to cry. :(

    Nothing. That's why I'm unhappy here. Ha, ha. That, and there's this person that I'd really like to be with right now, and well, that person doesn't live in Florida.

    I going to the mountains, and my dog is having a case of packing anxiety. He know that: "Elin is packing a lot of things into certain bags=Elin disappears FOR EVAH, almost".

    His solution: Keep Elin from packing and don't let her forget that you exist at any cost.

    Hence I'm stuck with a dog directly in front of me constantly making noises, everywhere I go.

    My (new) next door neighbor evidently has macho issues, because he's revving his motorcycle right now and the racket keeps going on. . . and on. . . He did this last night too.

    I'm so sorry :( I feel your pain. I have neighbors that do that. They also have pool parties in the summer that go until 3am, constantly run snowmobiles in the summer, and have bonfires until the wee hours in the spring and fall. I don't think they have jobs :(

    I'm laughing now actually. The cops just left. Wasn't a big to-do, but I'm a little concerned the new neighbors will think it was me who called. My house is right across the street from them after all.

    Was it you?? :p

    We called the cops on my upstairs neighbor once before we moved. I felt like a super badass. Selfish, inconsiderate neighbors make me want to punch babies.

    No, it wasn't me! I've never had to dial the police in my life and it's not worth it to break that record to tattle on a motorcycle dude. :p Only for emergencies, kiddies!

    Thanks, Charlotte. As cliched as it may sound, I live in a small, sleepy town, and so we're more friendly with the cops than fearing. I'm glad I haven't encountered a comedy like yours, though. Our neighbors wouldn't let my family live it down. :p

    Aghh.

    My body is being a weirdo again.

    I have been constantly thirsty. If I'm not immediately drinking water, my throat feels dry. I've already had two quarts of water today (almost a liter) and I should be hydrated by now. GO AWAY DRY THROAT FEELING.

    Believe it or not, I envy you your sleepy town, Tessie. I moved to a part of the city here where we fall asleep to roving helicopters and police sirens. :(

    My daughter coughed up a bit of phlegm two days ago, so got her straight into the doctors for antibiotics. Doctor was baffled as she sounded perfectly clear, the following day, she had a minor cough, today... she has a very dirty cough, pale skin and just looks and sounds horrible. She was 9 months old when she first fell ill, and then it was when she was about 15 -18 months when she fell really ill and then come August 2007, took a real downward spiral. It's now been almost 4 years since we found out what was wrong with her, they said she'd outgrow it within 5 years, if not, she probably wouldn't outgrow it. She's done so well the last 6 months to stay really healthy, to avoid ALL the bugs going around the school, and now... it's just so scary to see that even after all this time, she can go from perfectly fine to total mess in a very short amount of time. The doctor said if she gets worse, she has to have another x-ray, which he really didn't want to do because of the massive number of x-rays she has already had. I'm going to wait til Monday to see how she goes, but I don't think she'll be back to school til the new term and she'll definitely be back to the doctor on Monday. I just wish I could fix her lungs, fix her bronchial tubes, so she'd stop getting sick all the time. It's heartbreaking to see her go from full of life and mischief, to lethargic and weak. I hate this so much. I HATE IT! She's a little girl, she's only 5, she doesn't deserve this. She's had it so damn hard all her life, why won't whatever it is out there give her a gosh darn break already??? WHY? It isn't fair!!!!!

    Thanks emily. I think she is going to need to have x-rays to find out what is going on, cause the phlegm she is coughing up seriously don't look right at all... has me quite concerned now. :(

    I remember when that first nightmare was going on. :( I really wish she (and you) could catch a break.
