I blame coldplay (posted yesterday but blogger was ill)

and the bad mozzarella and sun dried tomato cibatta I had for lunch yesterday. I felt so awful... I even went straight to be when I got home and was asleep by half nine!

It's absolutely freezing today, beautiful and sunny but dang cold! Where is summer? Probably the same place our sofas are... lost in space... I'm thinking that the possible 14 day delivery thing is more like a definite 14 day delivery.

My gym nightmare continues I sent them off a letter letting them just how bad it is that they messed up my direct debit and I wound up having to pay for 3 months all at once and made to feel like a criminal... In recompense they're giving me a month free... fair play I guess but it doesn't help the devastation on my bank balance of 200£ coming out of your account all at once... sometimes I wish I could just let things like this slide... but then everyone and anyone would just come along and take my money... Is this what other people do? Just sigh and mutter when things like this happen?

It's Wednesday again already. The week is flying by...

i should be working

i worked so dang hard yesterday that post gym i came home, ate a lovely supper and then passed out much to the chagrin of miss H.

perhaps listening to coldplay isn't helping my mood and the fact that our electricity bill came in at 450£ yesterday... regardless of what anyone says... you can't get ahead in London. unless you're uber rich... there is so little chance. Money is truly starting to be my albatross. I hate it. I'm so sick of it. The more disillusioned you feel the more you just want to pack it all in... then when you realize you can't it's even more depressing... and oh yea, don't forget about that student loan. I know that my values lie not in owning a big screen TV or the latest video game or mobile phone. I enjoy shopping but only rarely buy anything over 40£... I guess I need a holiday... however that too... costs. *hides under quilt*

I like my life, I like my routine, I am fortunate to have had the chance to get an education, move to a different country, have someone who loves me, have a great family... all those things are not at all forgotten... I just think sometimes the world is cruel and unpredictable... As my mum always says in her pessimistic wisdom... 98% of life is hard and unfair the remain 2% is amazing... Expect the 98, and rejoice when the 2% pays a visit. Is this why people turn to religion?
