wellll, what have i been doing today? let's see,i cleaned off the arbour again in preparation for oiling tomorrow. was getting ready to go out with a friend around 2 when i dislocated me knee. yes, thats right, went to go kneel down, it popped out of place and feeling the excruiating pain, i clutched it and pulled it back into place (knee jerk reaction to the pain, if you'll excuse the pun). thats how i know it dislocated u see. actually felt it go WHACK out, then, WHACK in. the glass i was carrying at the time went everywhere. mum got some peas from the freezer and i slapped ice on it to stop it swelling and i was up and walking on it as soon as i could through the throbbing pains. i only had five minutes till my friend was due to pick me up and badly needed to get out of the house so i asked if she could take me to a chemists so we hot footed it over to safeways to get a support bandage. it wasn't too bad after that so we drove around southend and then headed back to the harvester for a drink. its hurting a bit now coz its scrunched up under this computer table but it shouldn't be too painful in the morning coz ive been walking around on it. last time it happened, it was late at night and so i slept on it. consequently it was quite painful next day. there will come a day, though, im sure of it, when it doesn't pop back in. thats when it REALLY hurts.
i had some random thoughts last night which i was gonna detail in this today but i cant remember them now. grrr. my friend is reading this book at the moment about being successful,single, sexy etc. it talks about how to be happy when your single. as i pointed out to her today, when your single, ppl assume you are unhappy. well im unhappy, but not because im single. coupled ppl also presume you want a partner, and so and try and set u up with ppl. i have in fact been on the receiving end of this, so i know first hand. they also try and get more involved with ur life coz suddenly their life, particularly those in long term relationships, has become much more........ monotone i guess. i always find that when theres a couple, i might be trying to arrange to go out with one member of that couple (if they are my friend u know?) and this part of the couple has to go and kinda *check* with their mate if they are not doing anything. its the whole better offer thing i think. i don't know.
a training course has come through, 2 day thing at waltham cross. wont stay overnight, cant be arsed. hopefully ill be driving by then.
anyway, cant reemmber what else, if anything, there was.
