tis the season for football (I refer here to the world game)

football season is about to begin.

Yay! I think as I put together my kit for todays friendly with another team in another comp. football boots - check; shin pads - check; socks - check; lots of water - check; cold packs - check; etc. Kind of excited that rather than training training we're playing a game.

Cut to 80 minutes later ->

Oh boy... I think as I lay on the grass at the end of the game gasping for air and sweating heavily not really loving the humid weather. Fitness and ball skills can only up from here.

Crap, I have some sunburn.

quiet time...

It's been a couple of days since the last post... to be honest things haven't been the best...

I'm still riding the emotional rollercoaster, still having cries and getting things done in between...

The weather hasn't been very good at letting me go through the emotional angst, it's too hot to stay in bed with the covers on, too hot for the comfort food I like, too hot to do just about anything... so at the moment I'm a sweaty teary mess... and not in the good kind of way either!

I have found however meditation a useful thing to do, especially to start the day... some quiet time before the turbulence of the day begins. and also cable ties - they helped to fix the window so that the cool breeze can flow through the house... *half smile*

Ah bliss...

Today was the work end of year shin dig... An annual event held on one of Sydney's eastern suburbs beaches... Past colleagues turn up... Current colleagues bring their families... there's BBQ, beer/alcohol/soft drinks, salads, bad kris kringle, and most of all just a relaxed atmosphere... Ah, bliss! The only problem was teh blasted weather... Leaving the inner west the weather seemed perfect, and so I was dressed accordingly - instead I should have been wearing winter clothes the wind was that cold... though the weather paled in comparison to the company...

This year I took the bf - he seemed to really enjoy himself as well.

Only 2 more days before the holidays begin... then it will be even more bliss!

so so

ok, free form smiling and snarling - GO

Smile:

• catching up with a good friend over coffee and dips
• being able to help out a mate at work over an emergency situation (despite it being my day off)
• having a good friend that didn't mind rescheduling our catch up

Snarl:

• "leaks" of government reviews, especially the horrible ideas that come from the reviews on my day off from work
  (the conspiracy theorist in me reckons it's more about when the Government finally releases their response that it doesn't look so bad, at least compared to what was leaked)
• idiots that use my driveway without checking to see that it's ok to use (especially when it's raining and I want to park my car under my car port!)
• weather - it's supposed to be summer in Australia!? Instead I find myself still needing wool jumpers, thick coats, and spencers
