Sarah tagged me, I always thought I ran quick..bugger

Actually I like this one and it took me two days of thinking but I would say this is it;

Live Today, Dream Tomorrow, Love Forever..

I spent today talking with my friend from my past who has now rejoined my life. She is having such a hard time right now, her husband sounds like an immature, selfish bastard and thats putting it lightly.

He fights with her often and apparently it was so bad last night that the neighbours called the police to check on her. She said he doesn't hit but screams and yells. He unplugs her equipment she runs her own business from home, he even tells their kids it is because she doesn't care about them anymore.

I would love to meet this coward and tell him what I think of him, but I wont it is up to my friend to see what this is doing to her kids and make some changes.

If she asked I would go and help her, I told her that today.

I will just be there now and if she needs to vent or wants help well she knows I will be there.

I grew up in this type of environment and I hope like hell it doesn't keep going for her.

I am sitting here dressed and ready to go...but I don't want to, I wish I was a kid again..skipping school was so easy..

Oh well..time to get motivated and head off..at least it is mid week..

I am here but still don't want to be...arghhh

When I was growing up I had a really great friend her name, Anna, we meet when I was seventeen and well we just clicked and became the best of friends. We hung out all the time we even worked together. We went to midnight mass one Christmas drunk as anything and now when I think of it I laugh my head off.
Well we lost contact when I joined Defence, on Monday (I think she sent it on Friday, yeah it was Friday..see what old age does to you :)) of this week well she emailed me, she found my profile on a web site and sent an email to see if it was me.

Well we have been catching up and it is just so great to remember times when you would laugh and drink and dance and have not a care in the world and the best part is, we had this time together.

She told me tonight she has had open heart surgery, that is a bit scary and she has been married twice and has two children. She is not happy in her marriage I hope she can sort it out.

You know when you have those friends that you can tell anything and you know that they will love you anyway..well she is like that. I outed myself to her tonight, she said she thought so anyway. I know that I would still do anything for her. She is so much like me in so many ways.

Tonight she told me that she thought I was always the confident one when we were growing up, but I always saw her as the strong confident one, it was funny to hear that we both thought the same thing about each other.

Gee I love my friend, I wish I could help her, she seems a little lost at the moment..hopefully she will visit and we can talk more.

Anyway I just had to say, there is nothing on this planet as wonderful as your friends..treat them kindly and look out for them.

Well what a strange day...my ex decides to ring me at work again..she tells me I need to go and pick up stuff from her tonight or she will throw it away..hello..she said this last time..but I bite back all nasty little comments waiting to come out and say sure..so no gym tonight even though I was dressed and ready to go.

So I get there..she is not ready with the things I have to take..so I wait in the car, then she brings them out and gives me a hard time about why I just couldn't take money instead of the items..WTF..she wanted me to pick them up I think she wanted me to say fine but I didn't I just took the things and then asked for a list of what she had that I could take..she surprised me by giving me one..leaving out a few important things like a laptop and tools but thats OK.

So I now have my DVD burner and my wireless router and a few pointless things..but I have to the end of the month to move what she has decided for now that I can have..so I will arrange to do this as I am not going there again.

On the bright side..she shouldn't ring me again and I don't have to see her again..yeah !!!

Count down the days and weeks until H and I are together again..but..well it is about six and a half weeks..kind of...I miss her..sigh

Work is keeping me busy still and I am loving the boxing gym, I even have a skipping rope here now to skip when I have too much time :)

OK..time to chill before bed..

Well I haven't been here for a while, work has been keeping me busy, plenty of things to upgrade, fix or just hunt down. Today I spent all afternoon searching the building to find a rogue router that had been plugged in and was causing havoc, I didn't find it but whoever owned it turned it off, if I find it I will erase the config just so it can not connect again.

I missed talking to H today as well, that really sucked.

So I have been going to the boxing gym this week, boy it is a great workout, mind you my calves are so tight and ready to explode, skipping will do that to you when you haven't done it for ages. Trust me if you want to drop weight skip all the expensive gym's just go and buy a skipping rope you will notice straight away the difference.

I enjoy this gym but it is smelly, boxing gym's all seem to smell, but once your in there and hitting the bag you forget the smell really quick. So the circuits we do start with 4, 3minute rounds of skipping with a 30 second break in between where you get to do push ups. Then 4, 3 minute rounds on the speed ball, the same with the floor to ceiling bags then you double up with someone else and punch the bag doing upper cuts and jabs. Once you have done this and the trainer has made you do a few extras, you then get into the ring and do 2, 3minute rounds of situps..yep just to finish you off. Mind you I love it all.

So what else..lets see it is my best friends, girlfriends birthday today..so Happy Birthday Leesa.

That is all I can think of for now so until later..

Show us your guitar.

Well my weekend is not what I wanted or expected, I have been getting a bug and well it hit me bad Friday night and this morning. So my day, I spent sometime with H on the phone and then cuddled up on the coach with a blanket. I slept all day really I did I have just woken now and I was surprised it is nearly 5pm. I am feeling better now so maybe that was all I needed some rest. Mind you I haven't been to the gym either since last Tuesday as I knew my body was fighting something.

I need to head out tomorrow and get my best friends girlfriend a birthday present I have no idea what, then I have to go to work, hopefully all will go well and I wont be there for long. Then I need to tidy up here and do all those weekend things like shop and laundry.

Next week I am trying out a new gym one that is closer to work but I will still go to my current one but also this new one for some cardio workouts it is a boxing gym.

So now that I have rested all day I am feeling a little strange I think too much sleep is just as bad as not enough.

Well time to go and see if Chezza's footy team is winning I hope so I picked them in my tips..GO PIES !!
