What? Never heard of a big dipper of a day? Lots of ups and downs? No? OK – I shall elaborate so you have a frame of reference….
0700 : Alarm goes off. Early for me – normally up at 0815. Boooooo!
0830 : Arrive at hospital for hastily arranged physio appointment after hydro appointment is cancelled due to imbalance of chemicals in pool. Boooooo!
0850 : Physiotherapist announces that I no longer need the arm brace I have been wearing for the last 10 weeks! YAAAY!
0855 : Physiotherapist manipulates shoulder into position that would have been uncomfortable and risked dislocation before my surgery – but no pain and shoulder felt stable. YAAAY!
1030 : Arrive at work. Boooooo!
1230 : Had unpleasant exchange with idiot boss over something beyond my control that I needed help with, but he went into rant in front of whole office over, thus making me feel stupid and worthless – AGAIN! Boooooo!
1350 : Receive email from Picnicbear/daddy about hotel bookings for trip to California in 5 weeks – looks fab! YAAAY!
1500 : Budget review meeting with idiot boss, which begins with dissection of mornings unpleasant exchange – thus setting a great tone for rest of meeting. Boooooo! Although as part of discussion it turns out that Chips blew top at idiot boss, telling him a few home truths, partially in defence of my honour. YAAAY!
1645 : Budget review meeting ends. YAAAY!
1715 : Have proper look at email about California hotel bookings – it looks even more fab. YAAAY!
1900 : Leave work. YAAAY!
1945 : Beers, burgers, reassurance and cheering up from Picnicbear/daddy @ Lowlander. YAAAY!
2230 : Call from Chips informing me that the London Raiders Blue team kicked some Tornado butt, winning their softball league match in style. GO RAIDERS BLUE! YAAAY!
Getting the picture?
The day finished off much better than I thought it was going to in the middle.
Feeling a little drained though, so gonna hit the sack in a sec.
I guess all’s well that ends well.
