Lea's Diary EntriesDiary Navigation: |
August 12, 1999
I must say, I am having one of those weeks! I have
been flat out at work which is probably a good thing!
It means my week has gone very quick!
I played basketball last night and we won quite convincingly, which was really good considering we only played with five players and then about five minutes into the second half one of my team members sprained her ankle, so we had to finish the game with four. That was until I went to defend and I hit the ball with the tips of my fingers and dislocated my ring finger on my left hand. Now it is all swollen and bruised and I can't put my wedding ring back on. Not to mention it is sore, damn it! I am having great difficulty typing this as I am now back to using the one finger method with my left hand as I have my fingers strapped. What a pain!
Also, I must say I am having a hard time with my friends who have split up. They are at that stage where the property is being divided and it is so hard. It is horrible to see them have to go through that. The guy doesn't fully understand how it all works with who gets what and so forth, and sometimes I want to rip my hair out, he is so frustrating. They lady up the road who has just moved back in and is PG and also split from her hubby also doesn't understand how it all works. She is on this belief that she will get all the furniture and the car and only have to pay for half the house, all this because she is PG! I wonder how they have survived in life this long with so little money knowledge. I am a tad frustrated today. I feel like I am the meat in the sandwich. I think I am feeling a bit peeved that I am not PG and that is the only thing that I want at the moment -- and I can't have it. My tolerance levels have not been good lately! I seem to be very blunt with what I say. I am a bit sick of having to be careful not to tread on anyone's toes. It seems that everyone else is sensitive and I have to treat them like it is the end of the world, but I don't get anything in return.
OK, I think I have vented enough and I am starting to sound like a very sour type of person. I am not normally this bad!
On a nice note, I have finally convinced DH to take me to see "Eyes Wide Shut." So now I have to figure out a time that we can go because it is three hours long! He wants to watch the footy on Friday night so it will have to be an early session if we go then. We are going to my sister-in-law and her boyfriends house for dinner on Saturday night (he was our best man at our wedding, we introduced them!). So I think I should have a nice weekend in all, only one more day to go until it is here!
Time for me to go. Positive thoughts to everyone.
