Back at work today. Had a bad back since Christmas day.
Need to buy lottery tickets. It’s my only chance of escape.

Just need to say this out loud.
I hate my job.
Being a teacher is shite.
There we go.

Was just talking to a colleague earlier about how the day back after a holiday is a shitter for teachers. I realise it’s not just that particular day though… hope Tuesday’s better

Feel like I’m hitting a Project Zeus moment at work.
I don’t really understand what I’m trying to deliver and I’m already late.

Got up early* this morning as I had buyers coming over to pick up some stuff I was selling on Gumtree. Both of them were no shows.
I’m also dangerously bored. I haven’t started my new job yet, I’ve got no money, and it’s really cold outside.

Talk to your boss/supervisor/colleagues ASAP before this snowballs into a catastrofuck.

Think I salvaged it today. Maybe … haha
Have an annual review on Friday so find out if my contract extends past June.
Whatever happens … been a bloody good learning curve in multiple new website back end and marketing software that I have been lucky to use.

Just got home to find a 5kg bag of cat litter on my doorstep and a missed delivery slip in my door.
The address on the parcel is the same number but a street 3 miles away. The fuck am I supposed to do with that.
The name on the delivery is Caterina so part of me thinks it’s a wind up.

Might as well get a cat now.

Got my karate brown belt assessment a week Saturday. Been training really hard for last 3 months building up to it. Put so much work in.
At practice tonight and my knee has gone. Not sure when it happened but got worse throughout and it’s agony now. Should have stopped when it first hurt but too late now.
Feels like my kneecap has been split vertically and some malevolent bastard is poking sharp things into it…
Meniscus maybe…? Shit timing definitely.

I’m beginning to form an opinion that skateboarding is pretty horrible for your knees. Give it a few more years and I reckon there will be a rollator thread on here.

Cycled to the gym and back tonight and my knees don’t feel great. Might have to change my saddle height/position. I don’t think skating has helped, thinking about getting the softer dragon wheels.
Hope a doc/physio can help and you’re able to get your brown belt.

General health update:
Cough is much better after xray and some meds. Knee also got xray and there’s something floating around in there that’s about 1.3cm, so got osteopathy appt in March.

Assuming the pain is on the inside of the knee? Normally done by twisting.
Got an MRI for my meniscus on 31st. Hurt it playing football.

Could definitely have been a twist. Feels like it’s right in the centre of the knee cap.
Not as bad so far today so strapping it up, wacking ibuprofen gel on and hoping it’s just a sprain (at most).
Best of luck with that.
