Aww man, I just dropped my Homer cup. I wasn't even quick witted enough to utter a "D'oh!" as it happened.
It's a shame, I only picked that cup up because the Simpsons tonight was still making me laugh (The first Danny DeVito one, before Homer ruins the company and makes him a bum).
*UPDATE* I've just noticed that I cut myself when picking up the shattered cup.
My back is killing me. I haven't slept in days and ibuprofen simply isn't having any effect anymore. I have an appointment with a physio on Thursday, which was the earliest I could get (and even that took pleading phone calls from people I know who already go there) and I haven't been to work this week.
Bored doesn't begin to describe it.
S'funny how it sometimes only takes one thing to be wrong for it to start affecting other things. I've been really negative since the back injury occured on Sunday and I've been thinking a lot about how things might be coming to an end with my GF. I'm sure it's just negativity seeping in from elsewhere. She's been dead nice since Sunday and even cooked my dinner tonight (she usually burns the water, this was a big deal).
I've given and taken a lot of advice recently and it's had me thinking a lot about the ettiquete of giving and reveiving advice.
There were a couple of things I wanted to run by someone, I located the right people for each of the issues, illustrated my planned response and in two of the four situations was told to hang fire and see what happened. In both cases my actions would've worked out better and in one case someone's dirty washing wouldn't be tabloid news.
Can you seek advice and then ignore it? Was I really just looking for someone to rubber stamp my original plan or spot any holes in it?
A few people have come to me with things too. In much the same way I think I've mentioned above, they listened to my advice and ignored it. Were they just doing what I wished I could've done?
I had it confirmed today that the guy I asked to go and look at a car for me a few weekends ago liked it so much that he bought it himself and then told me it was a dawg. Nice.
This journal is a bit of an experiment. I want to see if I sleep better when I offload the things that are bugging me before I go to bed. We'll see...
The End.

Hope u've been sleeping better
its an interesting point you raise about advice, i've been thinking the same recently... its weird how alot of the time we operate as independent people but so often you need reassurance to function properly, and to know your plan is the best...
relationships suck whatever happens, its nice that ur girly cooked ya grub, i hope its either worked out or finished by now.. the worst is when ur in limbo too long...
hope to see you at an sgs meet soon!
