well a very bad work day - I spent the best part of 6 hours sorting out containers that had been booked onto Southampton quay all wrong by our customer despite us not doing the haulage... and personal life is ****ed. boy of my dreams may as well have cut my heart out and burned it. ****s me off like a leper and then gets another girl pregnant, I just want to crawl into a dark space and die and nobody ever find me.
Oh dear. That does sound ****. Try and keep your spirits up. And there will be someone else out there for you. Life will look a whole lot better when you have a good day!
good days don't happen very often for me! edit: in fact I don't think ive had a good one since about 2006 (apart from saints related ones, of course).
Hey Jen, you won't thank me now, but that ain't that bad a day. It just feels it. You'll have worse. People have worse. PL has his heart ripped out every day. You'll look back one day and realise that. You'll also realise he ain't the man of your dreams, not really. Today is going to be better. *reaches for mic* ... "You can walk my path, you can wear my shoes"
Well we've all had that type of working day, but the personal life story is... well we've all had that one too. Not specifically, you understand. It doesn't make it any better that most of us have gone through the emotional mill, but at least we can understand how much it hurts. Stick in there, things will get better, I promise. I'll give you one of these too -
Have just come back from dropping a couple of friends off at Eastleigh Airport, they are off to Portugal today, and on comes the news that former Liberal leader Charles Kennedy has died at 55. Laughs and giggles and then sadness. He may be considered as a bit of a lightweight by some, but I can tell you that the bloke gave a ****. He was one of the good people. I met him and I know people who have known him, and he was exactly the same as you saw him on TV or heard him on the radio. There was no side to the guy. He cared in his own political way and I for one appreciate that.
Family not released the news yet. One year younger than me. Don't be overweight, don't smoke, drink in moderation, stay reasonably physically active. These were things Kennedy wasn't good at. I always used to think he looked a bit older than his years.
I am overweight (not a complete fat heifer though), never smoked, but do drink. I really am not sure what 'in moderation' is these days. I have very bad knees and haven't played football for 4 years and exercise is something I don't do enough of. I have a bike but don't use it much and I have a tread mill that I have recently been trying to find the right routine again that won't be too damaging for the knees. There is another problem: I like all food.
That really is terrible news. He was a principled and genuine politician, and in my view the best leader the Lib Dems had. He, like many others, paid the price at the election by losing his seat, but that is awful.
Means don't overdo it. You can stick within the UK health guidelines, which are reasonably OK, or you can flout them every once in a while, but don't binge ever. As far as food is concerned, [I do too, btw] just eat slightly less than your activity requires and you'll lose weight. It's a very simple equation [this advice is given from a moderately overweight person who is reasonably happy with the little bit of flab he has, but not ecstatic about it]. At this point I'm always put in mind of the good Dr McCoy. Speaking from the 23rd century, he once famously said of a way of life on a planet, Poppycock. I can do more for you if you just eat right and exercise regularly. Of course, he would know this was right, speaking 200 years from now, but then his scriptwriter was doing his job in 1965..! So, even 40 years ago they knew. By the way, the last thing I would be doing is running with those bad knees. Regular swimming would be perfect. Regular walking would be fine. I do rambling and my knees aren't great, but they're fine with walking in the countryside and hills. I also ride a pushbike occasionally. Not occasionally enough however to stop it injuring my bum though..!
The only trouble with saying you drink moderately is that most people underestimate what they drink. Wine is stronger these days and who measures the wine in their own house. One serving doesn't mean a half-filled bucket.
