Cate's Diary

Thank you sweetie. I am knackered tonight. I struggled with my fast day during the afternoon as I was busy. FD's are best done at home. I'm feeling very flat, but am reminding myself that I just had a very long day (up at 6.30am), it's now 6pm & I have eaten less than 200 cals so far today. I'm looking forward to dinner, but am looking forward to tomorrow morning's breakfast a lot more & tomorrow's wine even more again. It was a long day, with no thanks. I know I'm tired, but a thank you would have been nice.
KP- you are a darling. I just read your comment & one of LaMa's & thought how lovely this community is xoxo Cate.
 
Oh man, a fast day combined with a smelling BBQ day.... that's torture! But you made it out alive, enjoy the wine, you sure earned it.
 
Hi Cate! Sounds like you've been keeping busy. 5kg since August, that's awesome!!
Life has been keeping me busy but hoping to stay on top of some diaries again like yours. You're always so happy and positive, I love it :)
 
Thanks Oaks, Icy, LaMa & Stacy. It was a very long & very trying day. I think I deserve a bloody idiot star instead as it was WAY too challenging. I can resist almost anything when my mind is set, but it was not smart to "fast" on a day where I had to get up early, work all day & smell bbq for umpteen hours. I was exhausted & felt emotionally drained at the the end of the day & still feel tired out this morning. Another lesson learned. Fast days are home days.
While I'm tired this morning I feel OK. I do the bar for the Vets today & the same woman will be there for a while. She was crazy again yesterday, but I was mostly able to keep away from her. It is very hard not to feed off her stress & boy, is she stressed out at the moment, although she is always telling me she's not at all. Fairly loopy at the moment!

It is my Mum's 91st birthday today. Yes, she was born in 1924! AMAZING! I am going to spend a fair bit of time with her in between doing the bar & shopping for the golf club. Then home, then WINE. xoxo Cate
 
Stacy, that is one crazy looking cat!
LaMa- thank you. I did enjoy some lovely wine, but under some stressful conditions.
What a day.
I could not even try to explain it to anyone really.
Maybe Thursday when I am having a home day.
Love to all, xoxo Cate
 
Thanks LaMa. Not much time this morning as I am headed for golf soon. Slept like a log last night & did not wake once. I soooo needed that! Feeling much better this morning thank goodness, xoxoC
 
I have been very stressed since we got home &, indeed for some of our trip away. I can see how it builds up & know what I need to do be able to de-stress, but it is very hard. Just for example G has the Test cricket on TV really loud at 2.20 in the afternoon! I need time at home, with silence. I can't concentrate on anything when I'm like this. It is a build up of stress & I can't even try to explain what is causing it. It is really a gradual build up of various stresses. Our son, R, is one(manic again), G's family estate decision, another, the crazy woman at golf, WAY too much "work" to do for the golf club, criticism from golf club members about stupid, unimportant things, no thanks for the work we do, & just lots and lots of pressure from other people, meetings, pressure to go on other committees(8-ball State body), helping our other son out with his kids, often at late notice.....I really just feel like staying at home & reading a book or 2 or 3, until I feel ready to face the world again.

Monday I was at the golf club from 7.15am & got home at 6pm.
Tuesday I was there at 9.15am, visited Mum for an hour on her birthday, shopped for the golf club & for us, then got a call from a SIL who sounded like she was having a nervous break-down & needed G to sign a contract & have it faxed off within 3 hours. Although I have been dead set against this & it was not our decision at all we went in, the job was done & we didn't get home until 6pm.
Wed I played golf very erratically in our club championships, had 2 wines & lots of water & came home & told G I would not be going to 8-ball unless he drove. At 8-ball I drank FOUR more glasses of red wine(hence the blush in my signature). I am not going to have any set plan for November, but will be honest about whether it was a good day or a bad day.
Tomorrow I am staying HOME!
Saturday I am staying home & G will go to golf, so it will be quiet. :)
I deleted most of this post as it was an attempt at explaining why I am so stressed atm. Too complicated.
Love to anyone reading through my diary, xoxoCate
