Pain and Boredom......

Arthur Schopenhauer once said 'The two foes of human happiness are pain and boredom'.

Well, today has not been one of the more interesting days of my life. My arm is feeling very painful today, which is making it very difficult to get around. I'm aiming for it to be well enough to go out for dinner tomorrow night with some friends Sarah, Sophie and Laura. I guess we will see!

I have been chatting to a very good friend of mine today. I have known for as long as i can remember. He has been there for me through the bad stuff and i hope always will be. I was just having a read through my post yesterday and i realised i forgot to mention him. On the Saturday i broke my ankle, while i was waiting for my brother come and pick me up. My good friend Haycox sat with me for how ever many hours it took (It was about 6 in the morning!). He hadn't had any sleep that night but still sat up with me chatting to me and trying to take my mind off things. He has always been a good Friend to me although he has always been a little unreliable when it comes to time!! He is almost always late for everything but i guess he can be forgiven!!

I am obviously off work at the moment due to the leg and all! Last week there was a party thrown for my department at work for all the hard work that people have done over the past few months, making sure all the 2007 catalogues are ready for print. unfortunately it was on Friday and i didn't think i would be able to make it. My friends at work called me and said that i should go for the meal. i thought that sitting at a table for an hour or two would be OK. But a couple of days before i received a phone call from my someone at work advising me not to go to the party as it wouldn't look very good for the company or myself to be there after being off work. I could see there point to a certain extent but only from a very petty point of view. About an hour after this phone call i had a visitor from work who had brought me a pile of paper work to complete while i was off! So as you can imagine i was not the happiest of people, They told me i could not go out for a meal after work hours but i could sit at home and complete work for them! I don't think so! Unfortunately the work has not been done! oops....

I am supposed to be in Newcastle this week, visiting a friend of mine, Kelly, who has just moved there. Kelly got married at the end of this summer, the wedding was so nice and she looked so beautiful, I was one of her bridesmaids and i have to admit i cried quite a bit that day. Due to the fact that her now husband is in the army, they relocated to Newcastle after the wedding. They have a beautiful daughter Leyla, who has just turned one. It would have been good to visit them and check out their new home but i guess this visit will have to be postponed till i can actually walk again!! I have been chatting with her today and think i may have inspired her to start her own blog! Can't wait to read it!

The boredom of being at home all the time is beginning to really get to me today. I would really like to get out and do something, even if it was just a drive out somewhere!! As you have probably guessed i am feeling very sorry for myself today! My brother is coming round tonight to watch a film so that should be a little more interesting than my usual evening entertainment of late!

Well, here's hoping that this evening and tomorrow will bring more entertainment than today, and maybe i can write some a little more captivating tomorrow!

Until next time.....
