No her today :(

Forgot to say last night I hurt my shoulder at the gym. I was on the incline, and couldn't find the 10kg weights so used the 15kg instead. I don't think I've ever done 15kg on the incline. Anyway, I did the first set of ten no problems. Second set of eight no problems. Third set of seven...then pushed it to eight, and immediately I felt pain in my left shoulder blade.

I knew I had done something if the pain was immediate. I spent the rest of my session holding it and stretching it.

Oh well, at least now I know what causes that pain - the benchpress.

I was expecting the worst, to be out for Sunday's game, but it actually wasn't too bad today, maybe just a pinch of pain. Phew.

Today I walked to work. Left home at 7:30am on the dot. I kinda woke up late, so had a quick shower and rushed out of the house. I didn't want to see her on that long path under the trees, it just makes things awkward. But as I walked more and more, I still hadn't seen her. I don't think I've ever seen her past the apartments, so when I passed that, my hopes faded dramatically. Disappointed was me.

Today I sat in Chris' trial instructing, spent most of the day playing a video and stopping it or speeding it up whenever Stali wanted. He bought us lunch which was cool.

After work, I was so tired, I just tidied up a bit and then decided to go to the casino to de-stress. I think a lot of stress had been built up during the trial, and I really needed this.

I withdrew $100, with the goal of winning $25 and walking away.

My first and second spins drew, then on the third spin I won $25. Walk away right? Nope. I thought I could do better so continued playing either colour/columns or 1-18/dozens, and was down to just $25. Part of me wanted to just throw it down on a line or something, but logic told me my best chances of coming back were to put it on a colour to try to get back to $50 so I could at least have a chance at colour/column or 1-18/dozens again.

I won on colour so was back on $50. I then bet on red and middle column. I watched the ball drop INTO 15 and had that "ah fuck!" feeling of blowing away $100 and a sudden flow of regret overwhelmed me. The ball then bounced out and dropped to next door - 32.

I won $75, so was back up +$25. Having seen the "devil", I quickly cashed in, took a walk around and then left.

I went back to the office to change, and then went to the gym to cycle and do sit ups but no weights.
