A long overdue update..... [Aug. 9th, 2007|04:46 pm]

[mood | sore]

It's been a long time since I've updated this, and a lot has happened since then. We've been so busy sorting out the house and with work etc that I haven't really had time to do anything other than read my friends page. There's still a lot to do but unfortunately since this afternoon I am currently unable to do anything except for sit here as I think I have pulled a muscle in my chest whilst at the gym today. I was doing sit ups and as I went to sit up at the end of my set I suddenly felt a shooting pain in my chest. I thought it would go away within 5 minutes or so but 20 minutes later I was still unable to sit up or breathe in fully. It is now nearly three hours and it is fine if I'm sitting still but if I move too quickly (especially twisting) or breathe in deeply it really fucking hurts! I don't actually know what it is but I'm assuming as I was doing sit ups at the time I've pulled some sort of muscle... at least I hope this is what it is. Any ideas? If it's not better by tomorrow I'll go the NHS walk in centre but I dount there's anything they can do. I need it to be better as the new shop I'm going into is opening in a couple of weeks and I need to pull some really long shifts up until then to make sure everything is done and ready. I can't afford to have any time off and I don't want to spoil my unblemished record of 2 and half years with no absence!!!

Anyway, in other news, we're all moved in and settling in nicely down here. The house is just about ready for visitors now, and they would be much appreciated as I'm feeling a little lonely due to not having a great deal of time to go out and make any friends down here at the moment. I do however have a few irons in the fire (starting my own goth meetup being one) and things will certainly improve once I start uni in October. The house is perfect and we're really enjoying having space to ourselves and not feeling like we're treading on anyone's toes. The only room left to sort out now is the spare room, which I was planning on getting sorted tonight but it's looking like a boring night of facebook and film watching for me, which is frustrating as I hate to feel like I'm not doing anything productive and I wanted to go for a cycle this evening. Having the beach nearby is lovely and I have made it down there a few times for a swim over the last few weeks. We are hoping to spend the day down there on Saturday if the weather is nice as it will be the first day we've had off together since we've moved that we haven't had to travel half way across the country or to Bath.

Went down to Bath for Entropy last weekend, which was fantastic as I've really been missing everyone. I didn't realise I would miss people this much and it was really nice just to have some fun and see everyone as the last month has been a little stressful what with getting the house sorted/starting new jobs etc. Work is hectic but ok - I still miss Combe Down a lot but once I'm settled in my new shop I should be able to make some friends there and start having some fun at work again. At the moment I am travelling around lots of different shops getting everything ready for the new shop to open and sorting out the stock control in some of the shops that really don't have a clue what they're doing! Consequently I have been in about 5 different shops over the last three weeks so haven't had time to settle anywhere or get into a routine. Following a few 12 hour days this should change in the next couple of weeks though.

In other news, I have a stalker but I think he's finally getting the message now. On my first week here I joined the gym and as I was walking there was approached by a guy who started chatting to me. He asked for my number which I politely refused to give him but I made the crucial mistake of letting slip that I was going to the gym, and lo and behold, half an hour later he turns up at the gym trying to persuade me to go for a drink with him. Following this, I've been seeing him at the gym nearly every day and he has also worked out where I work and been coming in there (not difficult as it's only five minutes away from the gym). More worryingly, he has got my phone number and has been phoning me regularly to ask me out for a drink. I have been ignoring his calls and haven't heard from him for about four days so am hoping he's got the message now!!! Slightly unnerving anyway!!

Oh well, apologies for this long entry but I've got until midnight until Jonny gets home and I can't stand not being able to get up and do things!

Maybe more later depending how bored I get!!

Friday as in tomorrow? If so, then it's possible if whatever is causing my chest to hurt so much is better - at the moment I am unable to do anything except sit!!

My other half is on lates though so I'm a bit wary of going out on my own and not knowing anyone.
