This entry is a backdated entry from one of my handwritten journals. Events recorded here happened some time ago.

Flipping heck. It's been ten days since last I diaried (shhhh that's totally a word now).

( So, what has happened in the last ten days? )

I haven't posted in a few days, but since my last entry I've decided that I'm definitely trying to recover too quickly. I have it in my head that I shouldn't be depressed/stressed for some reason - like I should just be satisfied with the life that I have.

I did the dumbest thing ever, today. Or, should I say, two days ago? Remember how Laura and I arranged to go out today? Well, we did. Then, as we ambled along Peasley Cross road, I realised I'd done something very stupid. I was expected by Sian for a game of Snap at the Oak Tree Pub in Newton, at 3PM.
