Cate's Diary

I'm having a lot of trouble posting at the moment. My window looks all garbled & I can't read what I'm typing! When I "go advanced" the window is totally blank!
I was up half the night with Diarrhoea & feel fairly awful. I have decided to stay propped on my chair for the day.
I have had a good couple of days. Thursday was absolutely flat out with a big golf tournament (I did the bar)We had the GK's the last 2 nights & that was lovely, but a lazy day at home won't go astray.
Because I can't check this I won't type any more. I will read everyone's diaries but not post I'm sorry. You should see my screen. There are 2 screens over one another!

That stinks! I hope you get to feeling better and that the site starts to behave again for you. You could try downloading and installing a different web browser like firefox or chrome. Rest up and get well soon!
 
I use Chrome, but have Firefox & Internet Explorer on my laptop. I decided to use Firefox for the forum. Once I installed adblock it has become bearable. I have a system that my older GS uses Firefox for his Facebook & I use Chrome & we don't bother logging out & have a pact that we won't prank one another. It was funny because I decided to look at Explorer & my sister hadn't logged out, so I played a minor prank on her. She rang me as she had no idea how I did it :D I told her it's my "big sister" button.

Have healed up, but have eaten very cautiously today & so far, touch wood, am fine. My stomach has rumbled madly, but that's as far as it gone. Phew! I have had a fairly lazy day though.
 
Thanks LaMa. I wouldn't want to venture far from the toilet still, but got through the night ok. Have stomach cramps & diarrhea still :( I'll use Forefox for the forum as it has been like it for AGES on Chrome & it is frustrating.
 
Brr, cramps are such unnecessary features of life (ok, they probably aren´t, but they sure feel like it!), they do nothing at all for ones enjoyment of life.
 
Touch wood, but I think I'm OK now! I'll eat very plainly again today to be sure though. Apparently it's rife at the moment!
 
Thanks Q. I have been-lots of fluid & salty crackers. I am fixed! I have spent a full day. We had our sheep shorn this morning (we were roustabouts) & then some gardening this afternoon. It's great to be fine again.
 
Glad to see you're feeling better, Cate! Those fluids and salty crackers must have done the trick.
 
Yay for health! I sometimes wish for the kind of stomach upset that would keep me from eating but so far any kind of tummy trouble has only made me eat more and especially more crappy stuff. Glad you´re wiser ;)
 
I wish that I was wise LaMa! My body told me what to eat & what not to eat. My stomach feels flat again, which is a bonus. Now to keep it flat! I wish that I could get motivated to lose this last 4-5kg. It really is the difference between feeling slim & feeling fat. Bloody silly I know. Sometimes I wonder if I sabotage myself on purpose. The brain is such a complicated thing!
 
I say get motivated to lose 1 kg. Once that's done rest on your laurels for a while and see if you want to go for 1.5 the next round. You'll find your way.
 
I had a meltdown before golf today & left without playing. I probably should not have gone at all. I lost my temper, but luckily escaped before I said what I thought. Bloody women! I think I'll start going out on my own for a hit instead of playing with them. I love golf, the women not much. I hadn't had a good start to my day & then one of the women verbally ripped into my husband. It was the last straw. I managed to escape without using any four letter words. Just. Unfortunately when I get angry I usually also get teary, which is very frustrating. I'm back home in my chair with a pot of herbal tea & about to finish off a book.
 
Nobody has the right to attack your significant other (or anyone else) in his absence. Good on you for leaving without killing anyone ;)
 
I cry when I'm angry, too. It's so annoying. But it was good you spoke your mind! People shouldn't get away with talking negatively about others.
 
Thanks gals. I'm still not over it. I am going to have to develop a thicker skin. I had been told this woman was mean but hadn't believed it. Take people as you find them personally, I have always believed. Definitely changed my mind about her!
Had a good day today & bumped into many people I really like. I know I'm feeling fragile though.
 
You have every right to feel fragile after all that happened these past few months! Surrounding yourself with peope you really like sounds like a great antidote. Hugs if you have a use for them.
 
Sorry for my long missingtude Cate. As for that woman, like I said before if you really want to get back at her and make her suffer dearly, send her out on a date with me.

I've been having some trouble with a friend of mine lately, he seems to be of the mind that he's doing me a favor by allowing me to hang out with him occasionally. So I've decided I can do without his company for a bit. So if this person/people bring in way too much of the negative, it probably is wise to steer clear of them, at least for a while. You can always golf with strangers or by yourself or whatever.

And I don't think a thicker skin is a solution. I have extremely thick skin when it comes to these sorts of things (as a necessity from a childhood filled with extreme bullying), and it just seems to embolden people even more. When someone acts like a jerk to you, it's their fault not yours.
