rather annoyed at parts of life...

ugh. i'm slightly ticked. two reasons - my shoulders went even loopier and stupid shopping.

i'll start with my shoulders. i've had trouble with them for nearly a year and a half now. i've gone to a physical therapist, done exercises, and had them under control. until recently. over the summer, they started hurting. i started using a piece of equiptment called the Vasa Swim Trainer, which helped for a while. but then, about a month ago, it started getting worse, and two weeks ago, was extremely painful. one of our assistent swim coaches is a physical therapist, and she looked at it. she said i'd inflamed the AC joint in my shoulder (whatever that is) and that i couldn't do butterfly for a couple of weeks. i wasn't too unhappy; i hate butterfly. she also said to ice it for a while after swimming and to do some exercises. two weeks ended today. and instead of getting better, it got WORSE. so, now i'm down to backstroke and breaststroke. i can't do freestyle or butterfly. AND she said that if it keeps getting worse, i'm going to have to stop swimming for a week or so. NOT good. so i'm bummed. freestyle is my best stroke. and i have a swim meet next weekend. :P

before work today, i stopped at walmart to pick up a sweatshirt. i've been meaning to do this since it started getting cold about two weeks ago. i've only got two, and i'm sick of being cold when they are in the wash. so i got my sweatshirt. same size as i usually get that fits me fairly well. isn't too tight, isn't too loose. i say USUALLY because the sweatshirt was too tight in the chest and too short in the arms. so...i had to go BACK to walmart and exchange it for the right size. i hate shopping...unless it's for books, music, food, or swim stuff. clothes shopping is not fun. i have to try everything on for two reasons: one, a size 8 in one brand could be a size 12 in another; and two, my arms are one size, my chest another, my waist another, my hips another, and my legs another. and i'm rather picky. i want my clothes to be modest, and you know how hard it is to find decent clothing for teens? i hate clothes shopping...

enough of my rant. good night!
