well, i've managed to score myself an uncomfortable case of tendinitis in my left wrist. this leaves me wrapped in a brace, rubbing goo all over it and eating nurofen for the inflammation. it also means i have the most boring job at work. ugh.
on an up note, i don't have to pay for any of the medical or medicinal expenses :) even the klms spent to get to and from the doctor next week are paid for :) i almost love coles.

i don't know what this is going to mean for the future of my nightfill 'career', perhpas it gives me a decent case to argue a transfer to a daytime department where the workload is less heavy lifting and more something else. think i might wait until my permanent part-time status is actually put through (that's a complicated scenario that is) before i start making those sorts of waves. until then, i have to try and not aggravate this stupid wrist tendon. ugh.

why couldn't it have been my knee, or my ankle, or a piece of my torso or face threatening to decompose and fall of? why my bloody wrist? i NEED that wrist. thats my fretboard hand, and i need the flexibility. yeah. things are looking oh so fabulous for my music now. not that they were looking particulalry brilliant to start with...

ugh. stupid negative thoughts. stupid cynic. stupid stupid. guh

til next....

ouch. so the damage for the repairs could be more than i expected, but at the same time it may not be.

the ignition is well and truly broken. in fact, about 1cm of di-cast (or however you spell it) metal is the problem. the stupid rod decided to snap. lucky me!
at the most pessimistic it'll cost anywhere between $800 and $1000 to replace, if it requires that the WHOLE ignition block needs to be junked. however, if all that's needed is the barrel, then i'll be spared about half that. i'm seriously hoping for the latter, but i'm not going to expect a miracle. if i need to have the whole ignition block replaced, then so be it.

the guy who came to fix the car is cool though. we had a few laughs at a few silly silly things and he was generally nice and very helpful and not condescending towards me because i'm a woman. he'll be around on monday or at least early next week to replace what needs replacing and raping my bank account of it's funds.

and here i was hoping the first mechanical repair would be the brakes. how very wrong i was.

now excuse me while i go cry.

til next....

i'm in a quandry.

i would love to have a combined birthday/christmas party similar to the one i had last year, but it appears as though everything is getting in the way of it.

if i did it on a saturday, i'd be forced to take the night off work AND miss a Santa Spell performance (which I'll prolly end up being LX op for - long story, or rather not so), but there is always the option of a sunday. and then I'd have to check out the games schedule with Lang Park (evil stare across the street).

i can't do it the weekend before my birthday as i've got a 21st and Elton John (squee!) to attend on consecutive nights, and my birthday is a monday so no one will want to go out for drinks. december is virtually a write-off because of work AND Grin and Tonic workshops.

so what do i do?

it's looking to me like i should just forget the whole thing, which kinda sucks, because last year was so very successful (it was the first real party i've ever had for myself), and i've got so many friends i'd like to share the occassion with...

oh well, yet another year where the birthday festivities include a quiet night at home with a dvd and a bottle of something...unless i can come up with something else that fits into my hectic end of year schedule.

when the hell did i become so smegging popular?

til next....
