Sorry you had a rough day yesterday Dragon, I may have to make one of those 'dammed if I do and dammed if I don't' decisions at work. It would be fine if I could OK it with the boss but he is out himself and his phone is going straight to voicemail. I have about an hour and a half before I have to press the red button.

Just start watching the game and decide along the way.

When I got home I realized I forgot to throw out some old food (garbage collection day is Thursdays). I also missed out on a great one day only sale, I was going to buy a preasure washer.
I was in an angry mood all day and all evening.
So last night I had this dream where I was trying my hardest to punch a guy in the nose. Had him pinned to floor and at my mercy, but every time I took a swing my arm would seize up on the way down. No matter how much I wanted to cause him pain, I just could not follow thru with the punch.
I'm sure this is a manifistation of my frusterating day yesterday.
Today is a new day, and I want to enjoy it. I'm in a better mood now, tho probably a bit fragaile so I'm gonna watch my step today and take things slowly and mindfully.
Have a great Friday weekenders!

Watching Brazil vs Costa-Rica.
Lounging on the balcony.
Having coffee and sweet cherries.
Comfort is the enemy of the progress. I am getting too lazy.

or perhaps remaining silent until the american football season starts,, that may be best actually

The second part of Brazil vs Costa Rica was just hilarious.
My vacations are rolling to its ending. And how am I supposed to fit the World Cup in my work week?
It should be a holiday month already.

Dragon,
Fights with the spouse are THE WORST! Nothing impacts my life more than when we are on bad terms. Consumes me, so I get it! Work it out and enjoy the weekend my friend. If your like me, it is impossible to enjoy anything until hubby and I are back on course.
Match two Nigeria vs Iceland. I think I am an Iceland fan after seeing their first match. They are the "smallest nation in the World Cup" so my root for the underdog tendency is pulling me to them.

I’m not really into this sport football-thingy, so I have no idea what you guys are talking about 
, but I enjoy watching people being so excited about it.
Right, quick check in and I’m off to work... I wasted another day by staying in bed staring at the ceiling til 2pm. I struggle with motivation to do anything and I try to avoid my BF because we argue all the time. If it wasn’t for my cat, I would never get out of bed.
Hope you all have a great day!

And tomorrow you can get up earlier.
And gosh I think we all fight with our partners sometimes yes?
Poor Nick has to deal with me....I am volatile and Australian....so he has to try and work out why I'm mad and what I'm saying......a bit like you and your guy when you got together yes? Polish and Scottish....that would be challenging.
LOVE YOU!!!!! xxxx ♥♥

I have to get dressed now and leave, but I can’t be bothered...all this hard work... You’re right, it’s ups and downs in a relationship, I just feel bad for being so difficult. Ah those crazy Polish girls.
My BF went to Glasgow yesterday for his grandpa’s funeral. He’s very close to his mother and he confessed that he had an honest conversation with her about everything that is going on with me, so hospitals, drinking etc. I went mental. I was so angry with him. I know it’s family, but I feel like these are my very personal problems and I don’t wish to share them with anyone... except half of Internet of course.
No, seriously I wish he talked with me about this before, but he claims he doesn’t have a support system and has to talk about this stuff with somebody because it’s really hard on him - umm I thought that’s why he’s seeing a psychologist every week but OK. I’m just very emotional about all this... now I will never be able to see his mother ever again LOL

Yes, that's hard....
It's good if he is close to his mum....very good, but he needs to respect your boundaries. I think he will....we have to keep learning about others' needs....and I know he cares about you.
I need to move it here too....have to jump in the shower...people are coming here and I am not dressed....

Psssssh. I eventually got through to the boss and my problem was not a problem in less than two minutes so everthing is copacetic.
In Britain 'giving a barracking' to someone one is giving them a dressing down and barracking someone or a team during a sporting event is a critical or negative thing.

. Thank you, PhoenixJ.Pretty accurate except that it was the Intercoastal and I was on a small boat.
The pompano was delicious.
