rw-just a general whine

I have cell phone issues too.  I got up in the aud at school, my leg brushed the seat next to me (phone was in a cargo pocket on my thigh) and the screen shattered.  It's SUPPOSED to be a uber-heavy-duty drop-resistent phone, etc and i didn't even drop it!  Ugh.

Thank you for this thread. Now I don't feel so alone with my simple whines (is that a word). I just started walking because I need to lose some weight, plus I don't feel good about myself and I know my health could use it.

So, I started out slow, am up to 3 miles in an hour and I am feeling good, take Abby with me once in awhile. I really do feel much better, like I get a burst of energy.  Well, I sprained my ankle like 4 yrs ago, and the walking has caused that to act up, so I have to ice it every night and I worry that walking might not be doing it any good. So, do I just forget it, or risk redamaging the foot. And I need new walking shoes.  I don't want to give up walking, but just when it is getting good and I am feeling good, my foot acts up.  Walking was helping with stress from work, which I didn't realize, it takes my mind off it until the next day.

Told ya it was simple. But I was doing this for my own good feeling. And now it seems to have stirred up an old issue.  I never considered my self old, but at times like this.

I hope everyone has a better September. And I hope I can keep up the walking thing. :<

My cordless home phone quit working on Tuesday.  Says "no battery".  I just put a new battery in it.  Stupid phone.  I actually liked it.

I really need to break up with my b/f.  I love him dearly, have dated him for 7 years (broke up for several months, tried again), but he seems to do his best to avoid being with me.  He always has a reason why he can't be around.  We've talked, it improves, then goes back to the same.  Then I get hurt and upset, turn into a witch, and then I give him the perfect excuse not to be around.  He is totally enmeshed with his mother and brother.  He has said he will never abandon them, and also says I am an option.  I don't want to be the option, I wanted to be the choice.  Lots of people have marriages/relationships and still help with their families, but he won't make an effort to make it work.  I'm tired of being thrown an occasional bone and not getting what I need, even after telling him repeatedly.  I have abandonment issues; I have some difficulty communicating what I want until I am comfortable.  I am trying to work through these things.  I feel like such a failure.  I can't seem to see the forest for the trees.  The first 2 years were great.  Then the abandonment started.  Why didn't I just leave it then?  Smart woman, stupid decisions.

Hey Paige!  I just noticed the line under your signature pic ... you're a mod now.  Congrats!!
