Not such a good week

Well, this week’s sucked.
 
Last week, the police pulled the body of one of my mates from the Trevallyn Lake. They identified him on the weekend.

Karsten, you’ll be missed mate.
 
I hadn’t seem him much in years, but you have to wonder if more of us who’d thought of ourselves as his friends had kept in contact, maybe he wouldn’t have killed himself. Tom was the only one who really kept in contact with him, so he’s feeling pretty devastated.
 
Spent the weekend doing family things, trying to take my mind off it - it helped. Coming back home, I thought that my friends up here could help too - we’d been planning an upcoming 4x4 trip, and what better to take my mind off things?
 
Well - that would have been the case, but that 4x4 trip we’d been planning, well - they went and did that on the weekend while I wasn’t here. It was half my idea, and I didn’t even warrant an invitation. It’s finally dawning on me that they keep scheduling the trips when I’m away because at least some of my friends prefer it that way.
 
So that pissed me off - as you can imagine. And things went downhill from there.
 
I’ve been feeling sick too. I can’t sleep, can’t eat - I haven’t had a proper meal since Sunday lunchtime. There’s no point forcing yourself to eat food you can’t stomache when you’re just going to puke it back up. Guess it’s saving money though. Oh, and there’s something wrong with my leg, but I’ve got no idea what that is.

I got a pay increase at work, so a nice little extra into my bank. That means I’m only going to be about $400 in the red this month. How many bills is it possible to get in a single month? I’ve been living frelling cheaply too, and I still can’t keep up.
 
I’m dead tired, but I can’t sleep. That’s going to make me useless at work, and I’m already having enough trouble staying civil.
 
So basically, life’s sucked this week.

Rob, I am praying for you, and will continue to.  Not that that makes it any easier.  I hope this week turns around for you soon.

Just say the word and I'll pop Mike onto the Boat for you for a weekend! Gotta have him back by a Monday morning though! :D

Seriously though Rob, you're welcome here anytime, if you want to come and hang with us. You'll never get more than you can handle, remember that, and God always knows how much we can take, even if we don't. *hugs*

I'm sorry life sucks at the moment, Bro. It does that sometimes. If you want some time out tomorrow, take a sick day and I'll come over and we can just chill out.

I don't believe your friends deliberately went adventuring without you, but even if they did, stuff them. You've still got me. We can be friendless and pathetic together if you like.

On the brighter side. I really like the photo - I've always thought cemetries are beautiful.

Yep, we would love to go 4x4 with you when we next have some free time, too.
Thanks for the v8s. loved it even though my face is bright red with wind burn and sunburn.
