Ow

So, despite being ludicrously tired last night I went to Aikido anyway, thought I'd ask for an nice gentle session. Get there to find Blacknell Sensei has come down from Edinburgh and his Aikido's really great, but I just can't keep up with him. So I didn't get to ask for my easy session and then spent about half of it running away from him, and then since I was way overtired I did something stupid with the one person I should know not to. It's not that she's good, she's not, IMO she's pretty bad and ungraded but doesn't act like it because her boyfriend's a black belt. Her boyfriend's actually really nice as a matter of fact, but she really gets on my nerves, I don't like practising with her if I can avoid it. Yesterday I didn't and ended up paired with her while we were trying to escape a particular technique - always a bit dodgy - I probably would have been alright if I hadn't been so tired, but judgement impaired I didn't just let her win as I usually do, I tried to twist out and if it had been a black belt or one of the other newbies they probably would have just let go, she didn't. I've now done the tendons in my wrist, just in time for a weekend course *sigh*

I am stupid when I'm so completely overtired, I probably shouldn't have even gone to the session last night, but I wanted to confirm the travel plans for the weekend course and I didn't anticipate the visitors being there.

Either way, my wrist is really sore and keeps tweaking all the time. A brace won't help particularly because it's not that kind of injury, it won't stop me twisting and that's what I need. I don't know whether heat or cold would be better for it - I think heat as that should make them relax right? Anyway I suspect I'll just be going ow a lot and I'll wrap it up at the course, I doubt it'll help or hinder the wrist, but it will tell everyone else that the wrist is injured therefore they really should be nice to me... or I'll cry.

This is getting silly, added to the tiredness and the knackered wrist I can now add a sore throat and what I hope is not a cold. Work was really stuffy and grotty, the room has no ventilation and it was making me feel really crap on top of the tiredness so it spawned a sore throat and was attempting to add a headache when it got to 5pm. At which point I left as quickly as I could, came home, put the tea on, ate it and am now messing around online, but not for much longer, because Due South is on in a few minutes and I'd forgotten how entertaining it was.

I absolutely have to get to bed early tonight, it's a long drive to Liverpool tomorrow, plus Aikido and a meal out and probably not enough sleep, then more Aikido and a long drive back. Then back to work on Monday *sigh*

On the plus side I have a pre-selection test on Tuesday night after work, if I pass I should get an interview for an Editorial Assistant for Durham Uni Business School. Fingers crossed because I need it.

Anyway, I'm sort of second-guessing going to the course tomorrow. I want to, but I'm so tired I know I'm not thinking straight or even only slightly curvy. Will it make things worse to go or will getting away help? I think an awful lot depends on what I feel like tomorrow morning.

So - watch Due South, iron my hakama, go to bed - chances of me keeping this schedule? Not a lot.
