• I always put work before myself, I make so many sacrifices just to keep people happy and I’m tired of it.
  

  I thought I’d stop by and give you an update. This week I had Tuesday scheduled as a day off, and I swapped shifts with a co-worker so that I could get Wednesday off as well (because I have a bit of a cold). I spent those two days relaxing and didn’t check my emails at all (I get about 10 work-related emails a day).
  
  I’m going to speak to the manager at my retail job tomorrow and make sure she is a bit more aware of my other commitments so that she knows how much work I can actually do and how important it is for me to get a proper day off (she often schedules my day off when I have to work at one of my other jobs).
  
  Overall I’m feeling a lot more committed to looking after myself :)

• It seems some people are meant to be here to just hurt you or bring you down.

• What you prefer?
  

  I definitely prefer cooking at home, especially when I have time to spend a few hours in the kitchen making a really nice meal for friends and family and sharing it with them. That’s quite a special thing because I can make the meal in my own time, and in my own way, and share it in the comfort of home without worrying about who might be sitting a few tables away, how long it will be before the food comes and the size of the bill.
  
  BUT, going out for dinner is fun and I do like it sometimes. Actually I’m going out tonight, so there’s proof that I think both are nice. And on a date (esp. one of the first dates with someone) I prefer to be out ;)

• hey can any one tell me the names of vegetables that increase body strenght and stamina?
  

  If you’re after body strength as in muscle, you should go for high protein foods. That would include chick peas, kidney beans, brazil nuts, almonds, tofu (technically not veggies, but that’s what I can think of off the top of my head)…if you eat them then also eggs are great for protein.
  
  Iron-rich foods are good for stamina/energy, and can be found in capsicum (bell peppers I think they’re also known as), spinach, broccoli, lentils (absorbed more when cooked)…you’ll get more if you have it with vitamin c as well.
  
  Fresh fruit is a good source of energy because of the sugars.
  
  That’s all I can think of at the moment though…

• Nevermind
  

  Adding to what Anonymous said: on a legal level it’s quicker and cheaper if it’s sorted out between the two of you, which means that if you do try and sort it out with her out of court then it should minimise the risk of you being in serious trouble.
  
  If you’re able to say that you tried to resolve it outside of court, then any legal representatives that have to deal with a court case (if it gets to that) will appreciate it.
  
  I would also suggest that you avoid saying “I’m sorry” to her, because an apology could be used against you if she does take you to court. Instead you could use phrases like “it’s really unfortunate” or just explain that you honestly forgot. You probably don’t need to apologise to explain, and when it comes to potential court situations it’s much better to avoid consent to a mistake (even if it is a genuine mistake and you know it).
  
  Hope that helps, and that you sort it all out soon. Amelia
