Yayness!

Heya folks,

So for some updating:

So excited! Got my postcard from Nyssa yesterday! It's now made its home on the mantlepiece.



Miss her so much, but I'm sooooooo stoked that her and Z have hit it off as well as they have and that finally she get's someone decent in her life :D Certainly deserves it!

Shoulder's getting better slowly but surely :D

Work's still a pain in the arse, had to do the 'climate survey' yesterday so yet again i put down exxxactly what i thought about the SM again lol I swear it'll come back to bite me on the arse eventually (even tho it's confidential).

Went out and took photo's over the weekend which was veryyyy relaxing, got some wonderful shots from the Botanical Gardens, not too sure about that night's sunset shots yet, i'll have a look at them later :)

That's about it really, on a final note, here's my adorable lil kitty getting her fave thing.. a bellyrub!!

Waking Up

Heya folks,

So the shoulder's feeling a bit better, still achy but that's only cos I'm back at work and using the thing lol but i've kept pretty positive this week and although it's hurt I haven't gone mental at anyone, so yay for me :D

Mr Onie brought up the whole "Friday the 13th" thing... and I know it's a wonderful day usually for me, but I'm really wondering if everyone else has a horrible day???

Photo weekend this weekend, Adam and I haven't gotten out with the camera's as much as we'd hoped to lately, so we've deceided to enjoy ourselves this weekend and relaxxxxxx.

Might be going to a local game of footy tomorrow too, which could be quite interesting, might even take the camera along to try and get some shots :D

that's it.. i'm boring today lol

And now it's storytime

Heya folks :)

So Adam and I went out the other night to take photo's of Henley Beach the other night at sunset, and it was just stunning, beautiful colours swirled around each other and thru the clouds... just gorgeous.

But while we were there I did a lot of thinking, there's nothing like the ocean to calm you and help you think things through properly :D

I'm not gonna let this shoulder thing get me down again... (it's story time)

Last time it nearly drove me into the ground and it was a horrible, horrible time to know me. (I think Adam was lucky there not knowing me as well as he does now lol) All I did was sulk, whinge, cry and generally act like the world owed me bigtime. I didn't want to be around friends (although there was one mate who wouldn't take no for an answer and in the end I really thanked him for that), my parents worried too much about what I'd do to myself if they weren't around etc etc.

..and it was a shit year anyways, so the last thing I really needed was another kick in the teeth.

That year I had a big big big big opportunity to go and work in the US at a small indie record label. To this day I'm still kicking myself that the shoulder flaired up and I never got to go. That was my second attempt... thankfully the fella I was gonna be working for was a wonderful, caring friend I'd met many years ago in a chatroom, and the plan was, we'd catch up, see how things worked out for us face to face and if it was all peachy I'd be working for him as his PA. Now I know PA'ing doesn't sound like the most interesting job in the world.. but how many chances does a kid with no formal training in anything get to head into the music industry?

The first time I had to let him know I wasn't coming was when the accident that did my shoulder happened... and he was devastated.. not only for me, but cos we weren't gonna get the chance to see if we could work together.. professionally obviously ;)

But he left the door open for me... as soon as I was 'better' and could get my arse into gear I was wanted over there still... and that's one of things that drove me to get 'better' the first time around.

What no one told me is that I had a really good chance of relapsing and it flairing up on me again within the year.. apparently it happens with a lot of shoulder cases.

Head down the track 6 months and there I am, getting ready for the biggest opportunity i'm prolly gonna see in my life, gettin packed up, trying to organise a birth certificate to get my passport etc etc and it goes again. It was like getting kicked in the head by a horse.. it was the worst thing that could've happened.

Then work were being arseholes about it... saying that because time had gone by it obviously wasn't work doing the damage. I had to go thru a 4 month fight with them just to prove that it was work related. Imagine living for 4 months with no income as you're trying to prepare a trip overseas. As you'd expect, bills and travelling to all these specialists etc cost money and slowly but surely in those 4 months my US savings dwindled to near nothing.

I then had to break to it my mate for a second time that I wouldn't be coming over again... and again he was devastated. I knew this time tho I didn't have a third chance coming my way and I was right, he really needed to get someone in permanently cos he was getting sick of the temps. And ya know.. that's fair enough, I totally understand where he's comin from on that so there never were and never will be hard feelings on that front.

We still talk on the odd occassion but cos business is going so well for him, plus he's now got married and has kids, plus me moving to Adelaide to be with Adam and not being online as often, we've drifted apart more than I would've liked.. but that's what happens i guess.

So yeh, add the disappointment of that to my shoulder caving in on me and I wasn't a very happy person. Actually I was a bitch for about a year LOL It sucked too, I hated myself more and more each day for it but just couldn't snap out of it.

So yeh, that's my story for this time lol

Point being is I am not gonna go nuts like I did last time, I've gotta learn that it's gonna relapse once in a while and I just have to take my tablets if it happens. *goes and has one*

I love the beach :)

Howdy

Hiya folks,

If you're not up for a whingy/ranty type post I'd be moving along at this point, it's a 'get the crap out of my head' post.

I'm off work for the week cos of my shoulder again... I'm so over dealing with this fucking thing.. i mean ffs, I'm 26 not 80 :-| I'm back on the painkillers again, plus the gel so i can use the fucking thing for more than 2 minutes... it's all crap. I HATE the tablets, I HATE having to gel it every couple of hrs, I HATE the fact that work has put me in this fucking situation again. FFS and they wonder why i've been a real bitch around that place lately. I mean honestly, if you're gonna push me this fucking hard you're gonna know about it. Of course the hardest thing with all this is the fact that i can barely do a thing again, as we speak i'm typing one handed again, and it's taking me forever. Soooooooooo over it...

Adam hasn't seen it this bad before and I know he's stressing out about it all and I can understand why, but it's also annoying me because then i worry about him worrying when I know how to handle myself going thru this. I didn't do anything stupid the last time around, i'm not planning on doing it this time around. I almost feel like he doesn't trust me to look after it/myself. I'm also a little annoyed about the fact that he helps out now once it's been diagnosed but couldn't be arsed helping when i'd been bitching about it being really sore. But there I go being a bitch about everything again.

It's stressing me out. Really stressing me out. I'm trying hard not to let it get to me but my older friends will know how much hell I went thru with this the last time and I'm scared that it'll get that bad again.

I know deep down it won't.. but it's still a scary thought.

Speaking of work.... god i hate that place these days...

Our receiving room guy has been BS'ing his way out of working lately... and of course instead of getting someone to cover the dock so i can keep up on my own work they've had me do it. Great idea brainiacs :-| Let's get the 5'2" girl who has a fucked shoulder lifting boxes of books etc around for 5hrs of her day. *shakes head*

THEN they pull me out of the office to do other ppl's work cos they can't keep up.

THEN they bitch because I get behind in my work.

.... ummmmm duh?

So walking in there yesterday afternoon after being at the doc's and handing over a certificate to say I can't work all week was kinda enjoyable for me... my manager didn't like it tho.. he's like 'oh crap.. so when do i need to replace you for?' i felt like sayin "all week obviously" but bit my tongue lol not that it matters really i was only working 3 days this week... yay for easter long weekend. Even better, i'm not back at work til wednesday next week so i really get a full week off :D

Okies, i'm happy now, it's all off my chest :)

I'll go back into obscurity now hehe
