Update

It's been a long couple of days.  A cold snap in the weather has got my legs zinging and aching.  I have been filling my new kitchen cupboards with my stuff, but it's been taking me longer than expected.  The doors now have their handles on, one is out of alignment, grrrr.I still haven't worked out the fine tuning to get them level, hopefully the ex will be able to do it when he comes over.I have started looking for a new job, no luck so far, but it's early days.I had an argument with my best friend of many years.  The last year or so things have been a little bit more reserved and NYE was the icing on the cake for me.  When I asked her what /if she was doing anything she told me made plans and I could go if I wanted to.  It was so offhand.... anyway, I asked her last night if there was a problem or if I'd done something to upset her and she went on the attack - which is her usual approach.  She doesn't deal with things - just attacks if she feels she is being confronted.  She turns words around and last night I really realised that it will never change and I don't think I have the energy to keep going with it.  It will be hard as we live in a small community, but I think it's for the best.  I guess we'll see what happens, but it's disappointing and painful. I'm hoping my sister will be down tomorrow, with her kids, for a visit.  She might even be down for a week with my aunt, which would be nice.Dale is supposed to be helping out a friend of mine tomorrow, and earning some money as well, which will be good.  I hope he hurries up and gets a job.  Rich pulled a muscle in his back at work on Tuesday, and went to see my myotherapist today, which helped I think.Clint is on his last week of holidays,back to work on Monday. I'm pooped.  After doing the door handles today, I swept and mopped the floors, as well as throwing some more stuff in the skip, which was supposed to have been collected today, and tidied up a bit.  I'm still peeling too, from when I got sunburnt a week or so go.Anyway, no more news.

I keep telling you that you are over doing it - slow down a bit - that stuff will wait. sorry about the argument but i agree with you about some \'friendships\' just take too much effort to keep them going.
I am hoping to get a job too - but it being just after christmas I don\'t know what the posibilities will be

that sucks about your friend. hopefully you told her that you don\'t have the energy for it so that she knows you\'re not just dumping it for no reason. take some time out for your self and chill out. hope your neck starts feeling better. take care!
