Cate's Diary

Hi, Em. He knows we won't be bailing him out. I'm going to go with the thought that he will be where he feels the best. I'm grateful that he is with us still & I must always remember that & support his dreams. He has such passion & love.
I'm getting less anxious about my trip.
 
Cate I'm sure you will have a fantastic trip . Really hope you enjoy it and catch up with your sister . I think as we get older we worry less about how our homes look and know what is important .

I'm not really worried about pensions I suppose as I have saved to a private one but it didn't perform as it should have really and luckily our mortgage is paid but everything is so expensive here really . I sometimes don't know how the country keeps afloat really . We definitely will not retire until a minimum of 68 . Sighhhhh

Your son will be fine . If it doesn't work out he can sell it . Hope all else is good . Relax and enjoy
 
Petal- having your mortgage paid off is a huge win. Glad your son is feeling better & that he & your OH have gone cycling :)
Thanks, Em.
I am feeling good again today. I was stressing about my carry-on bag too I think, but weighed it yesterday & it's well under the allowed weight of 7kg. When I told my sister it only weighed 3.5 kg she was amazed & said she can't understand how I could possibly do it. I have added a couple of things since.
We both got a good night's sleep last night & the world is a better place.
I don't usually talk about politics, but there was an excellent result yesterday in the byelection of Wentworth in NSW. Our right-wing Liberal party has now lost its majority & an independent, whose views are much more humane re asylum seekers & more intelligent towards climate change has taken the seat with the biggest majority swing ever against a sitting government. She has also said she will not be a destabilising influence. Hopefully, things will change for the better. I want our old fair governance back! Our idiotic PM, who seems to be trying hard to copy Trump, can't possibly stay as PM for too much longer. He is such a bloody Wally! He tried everything to win this seat & failed :D
I only did one fast last week & will be away this week. I'll knuckle down again when I get home. Meanwhile, I won't get on the scales.
 
I also get apprehensive about traveling until I weigh and measure luggage and write out a detailed list of what to pack. So great you got an environmental, humane government now! I hope we swing that way in our elections, too! Sending you positive thoughts for flying and for your whole trip. Have fun!!
 
Congratulations on the outcome of your elections! Happy to hear positive news on the world politics front these days.
 
Cate that's awesome your carry on is only 3.5 kg . When are you actually going ? I'm thinking must be today maybe ?

We are having a presidential election at the moment and that's a farce of the highest order . It's pretty much a ceremonial role so I am cringing at the cost to the country of this farce . Saying that I enjoy the debates etc .
I like the sound of your new independent. That's what we all need .
 
Hi, Marsia. Travelling is very stressful, but SO worth it. I will feel better when I actually get there. I must admit I am not really looking forward to it. Once I'm there I should be fine.
Hi, LaMa. I missed you. Hope you had a wonderful time. I know- it is like a breath of fresh air!
Hi, Petal. When I add up my small Hedgren handbag, a book, a drink bottle & my carry on it's about 6.5 kg. It's 6 pm on Sunday here & I fly out at 8.30 am tomorrow morning.
Politics across the world is in a deplorable state. We must try not to give up hope & do what we can to make a difference.
Love to all of you, xoxo
 
I have my phone switched off because my sister is very sensitive to EMR, so can't catch up. I'm enjoying the visit xo
 
Hello, lovelies. I'm home but don't have the energy to tell you about my time away just yet. It was better than I expected & the flight home was better than the flight over. I have a very busy week ahead I'm afraid. It's complicated, but part of it is because a younger friend committed suicide while I was away. It is very sad. We just have to get through until Thursday when our commitments will be cleared. It's all involving the club. I'm trying not to think about everything we have to do between now & then, but just take one day at a time & rest in between.
Lots of love to you all. I missed you & this place, xoxo Cate
