open this card and hold it close to you

.

we lost 0-5 today

absolutely gutted. watching my team mates slog it out on the pitch, getting knocked back by a rather strong essex side, feeling so wretchedly torn up inside and couldn't bear to watch

didn't think i was going to cry, but then mass hysteria always wins

.

was really down and out, most of my team mates off to drown their sorrows at sports nite, theme: 80s, think lycra etc, and back home i trudged with waterbottles and tackle pad in tow, to do my economics assignments (note plural) due tomorrow

but then, things began to look up

rugby senior em who does the same course as me loaned me a bunch of notes to help me with the assignment

i arrived home to find yet another card from jx - probably the 4th this month! - with encouraging words and little anecdotes plus a whiff of deodorant - haha - that lifted my mood by several notches

plus i popped a yummy sainsburys chicken & bacon pizza into the oven, but not before sprinkling freshly cut red pepper on top of it. mmmm

plus i think i've finally made a breakthrough in the frog situation. suddenly things have taken a turn for the better - or so i find. daren't get my hopes up, but for what it's worth...

.

...now squeeze! It's going to be just fine.
