I am sitting here watching poor Brinkley, my German Shepherd, being tortured by my British Shorthair cat. Brinkley is lying on the floor being a good dog and Prowler is smooching him all over. Sticking her nose in his ear. Which is obviously tickling him as he has to then rub his ear on the floor. She is literally walking across his nose. Poor dog. I was laughing and he turned and looked at me with this sad expression on his face as if to say it is bad enough with out you laughing as well! lol.
I am trying to take a photo but Prowler has stopped now. Will try and get one at some stage.

alternate therapy
Today I started using a IFAS high frequency machine on my foot. I am using it every hour for 20 minutes. Hopefully tomorrow I will start to feel the benefits. Karen's brother in law's dad (lol did you get that) owns a naturpathic or the like business. Karen's sister and her other half (the son) run it. Karen works there as well. Anywho, they hire out these machines. They used to sell them but they aren't allowed to any more. Long story. But they are supposed to be fantastic. You can use them for just about everything so I will see how I go. I figure it can't hurt and it isn't costing me anything as they have let me use it for nothing. They really rave about it and I know Karen uses hers all the time as well as her daughter. (same age as Patrick).
It is kinda freaky and a little scary. It is an old machine but they all look the same. But to see the frequency or whatever it is called in this class thing is just bizarre. Time will tell. Kathy told me that for tennis elbow it works really well for and my foot thing is liken to tennis elbow.
Started putting things on layby for xmas today. Got singstar, buzz and eye toy games for the kids. As well as a couple of things for Laura and a game for Lachlan. I wanted to get this hair thing for Laura which had a curling wand etc in it but they were sold out. As was the DS. But least with the DS that will come back on special.
Feeling a bit lonely tonight. A bit rejected I guess. Sick of waiting and wondering if that right man for me really exists. Same old same old I guess. What is new? If I am so wonderful and deserve happiness blah blah why hasn't it happened. Four yeas it has been now and really not one relationship during that time. There was C whom I met the Xmas of the year I split up with M. But really that wasn't going to go anywhere. Nothing since then. It is hard to continually think happy thoughts regarding all this when there is nothing. I can love myself all I want. I can be happy with my own company all I can but honestly it does get you down. People say think positive. But in reality do those people honestly know how hard it is to maintain those thoughts when reality is there isn't anything.......
Yeah I know, here she goes again, but I am good. I have enjoyed my break. I am glad though that tomorrow I am going with mum and dad to Gawler to see Kerry and finally get to see my new niece.
Off to bed for me. I haven't been sleeping very well the last few days. I think my body likes the routine of work. Even if my feet hate it. (I invested in $160 work shoes today so that should help. Rockports for those who are interested. I have heard good things about them. They are very comfy. I have been wearing them around the house, as I am not allowed to go barefoot.) So yes to bed and hopefully a nice nights sleep.

nothing just nothing.
That is what i am doing for the next 7 days. Well that is not strictly true but it is close to it. I am still in my pjs and it is 11am. I didn't get home til after 1 last night (more on the that shortly) but I got up at 8 still. Basically been sitting at the computer since with short trips to the washing machine and clothesline. It is supposed to be raining most of the week so I thought I should get it all done today. 4 loads down only a few 100 to go!
S is the fine wine manager at work. A guy who just has this knack for cracking me up. Just his take on things in life etc is just funny and I enjoy working with him. Well he is leaving to go to another store. Last night it was drinks at his house. Well I didn't as I had to drive. (I don't have kids and I still couldn't drink!) I drove another girl from work there. Not many people turned up which was sad. (only the three of us actually) But it was a really nice night. S knows so much about Dans etc and he has told me to ring the area manager (who is leaving soon as well) and tell her I want to be thought of for upcoming positions. things are happening at Dan's but K got told that they wouldn't promote in house unless you went to a different store. Now she is prepared to do that but I don't want to. They are further away for me. But there is a new store opening up in Victor Harbour which is about half hour away. 10 minutes more travel for me. That I would do. So yet again time will tell. By Christmas with all the casuals I shouldn't be on register by then. I better not be. Si I will give it time. As S said if I don't want to move stores it is just a time thing at the moment but i need to make it known. Of course the managerial style at Noarlunga isn't the best and it is hard to get anywhere there. I told the manager that I needed time off the registers as I was going mad. But he took it that I was stressed out about it. Feeling the pressure. And that is not true. I am never stressed. I do my job and I do it well. If there is a long line of customers it doesn't stress me. I do my best to get the job done and solve the problem that is all I can do.
Anyway I can't be on registers all the time. My foot is so bad. By the end of the day yesterday I was like a little old lady hobbling around. I was in so much pain and now my other foot is starting to go the same way. I am a lot better today so hopefully this week with rest, stretching and taping my feet up it will be better. I am hoping to get back on the treadmill on Tuesday. If not I will go for a bike ride. I just miss the treadmill. I only just got the bloody thing. I see G on Monday so that will ease me back into it.
I will be wearing shoes at Taekwondo for the warm up from now on. Even just walking on hard floors barefoot is a no no for me from now on let alone running and jumping. I am trying to find my old shoes I used for dance as they will be perfect. Just a matter of finding them.
Oh Patrick and I graded last week as well. Blue belt 2 stripes. Woo hoo. Blue belt 3 stripes next then a red belt. Next colour is black. How cool is that. End of next year will be getting very close to that hopefully.
Well I am going to go back to doing nothing!!!
