Things are just NOT going my way!!!

So, last night, I had my softball game. It was the playoffs. We lost the first one, so we played a double header for 5th place. Lost that game, so we came in dead last. Now, THAT does not bother me.


The shortstop threw a low stinger at me (I play first), and it bounced on the HARD infield ground RIGHT INTO my lower leg. Thankfully, it didn't hit directly on my shin, it would've broke it probably, but it hit the side into the shin. Lemme put it this way, EVERYONE said they could hear the WHUMP noise it made. OUCH!!! That didn't bother me either.


What BOTHERS me is the fact that I totally was planning on running tonight. BUT, I can't. I mean, I could, but most likely, it'd just aggravate the 5inx3in bump and bruise I have...and make it worse. Besides, walking on it hurts. I think it's the muscle surrounding the bone that is sore.


I'm all bummed. I mean. I have 14 weeks left. I'm having an outpatient surgury in late August that'll put me out of commission for 2 weeks (no exercise). So, that means, I need this leg to heal by Monday (possibly), so I'll have 5 weeks to start running, have surgury, then out for two weeks, and then have 5 more weeks again to get to that 5k. Honestly, I'm thinking I'll wait for registration until the first 5 weeks are up.


10 weeks with a 2 week break? They say, as much time as you take off from running, it takes double the time to get back up to speed.


AUGH! I don't think I'll be making my Oct 19th deadline.


I'm bummed. But maybe this is incentive for me to work HARDER before my surgury and work hard AFTER it.


Just in a bleah mood today.

And life just continues to go downhill....yes, more ranting.


My bf has been driving me up the wall. Overall, he's passive. WEll, he's also a conflict avoider. So, it's been bugging me that when I'm not involved in something he does, he doesn't tell me about it. He fears I'll get upset (aka jealous, which I might, but I don't get angry). So, he's golfing with his family this weekend. I haven't heard anything about it. Not so much of a, "hey, we're going to play here" or whatevers. And he went golfing on Monday, didnt' tell me about it. I asked, got a two-liner answer and that was that.


He's been having to call in to see if he has to go to jury duty. Has he told me yet if he's there? No. So, I email him, but have no clue if he's even in the office. And since he doesnt' write back, who the heck knows. Until he either emails me, or doesn't. I don't.


And then, the other day....I called him up asked him if he wanted to run an errand with me, just to see each other, he was asleep, but said yes. i told him it's okay, go rest, so he says, okay, bye. That made me so angry. I mean, why say one thing when obviously you want to do somethign else? AUGH!


then. my ex-best-friend and i were going to try and repair our friendship. we were going to meet this saturday to hash it out and leave it in the past. guess what? She cancelled because she now has to get away for the weekend for some "fun" and isn't sure she's ready to deal with our friendship. WTF! So, that's the end of that....again.


and then to top it off. i got my cellphone bill. $22 worth of roaming charges. i thought my roaming was $0.35, but it ws $0.69. AUGH! More money down the drain that I don't have.


On the upside, my leg is healing nicely. i think the icing helps. it's not bruised and the swelling is going down. it's still sensitive to touch and pressure, but at least there's not a BIG BLACK AND BLUE spot. =)


ugh. life can be the pits at times. now...to ride out this wave until the "happy" wave comes by again.

Cher, what a sucky time! First of all, your BF IS being frustrating, and if it keeps going on for a few more days, it may be time to ask what is going on, if there's something on his mind.

I hope you feel better soon and heal quickly! Injuries are no fun at all. But you're right, better to let yourself heal than to push yourself and risk greater injury.

Get well!

Yeah. I agree. She's not ready to face up to it. And well, that's her perogative, but I'm not going to play games anymore. I know it'll be just as hard for me, but I was willing. Oh well, at least I know where we stand now.


Also, the fact that her email gave me NO reasons behind anything, that bothered me too. If she had said, "work has been crazy, I need a break and got offered to get out of town w/XYZ, I thougth I'd take it, let's reschedule, sorry, I hope you udnerstand", i might have understood. but it said none of that. She was just WAY too evasive.


Also, as you said, she'd rather have "fun" than take care of business, which would've been over in one day. oh well.


As for my BF, he's just passive, but after awhile, it bugs me for a bit, then I calm down again and go on with life. I'm in the "bug" part. lol.

"just keep swimming, just keep swimming"....


and I am. =) I told my bf to stay away for the rest of the day, it's safer. I said good-bye to my friend..again. And I vented at lunch to my friend/co-worker, so that helped. I'm slowly calming down.............


I think my bf is just being himself. Passive people pleaser. As I said in the post to Miranda, that's just him....and at times, it bugs the living daylights outta me. lol.


Thanks for the super smiley mood. I'm trying.
