Cate's Diary

Sorry you're not feeling brilliant today, Cate. Funny how your fast days can impact on your mood so much - best to stop, like you said, if they are making you feel "off". Hope you can practice a little self-care today and feel better by this evening <3 xx
 
Thanks, LaMa & Hana. It was a combination of quite a few things, including a reaction from one of our members in the forum. A lot of stress today, which got worse this evening as our younger son has had a really bad day too. We just messaged one another on FB. He's not up to a call & he has been teary tonight too. :(
Tomorrow is another day!
 
It certainly is. I was going to send along some hugs for R but then I realized that while I feel like I know him by now he doesn't know who I am so it would be well weird. Do please tell me if something I write makes you feel worse - I can be a bit obtuse sometimes.

Not every day can be a good day. I have felt really emotional all day, grumpy, out of sorts & close to tears. It happens sometimes. I'm only human, it's only temporary. I scrapped my fast midway through the day. I don't think I'll attempt them anymore. I feel very sensitive on fast days & it's just not worth it.

Sorry to hear that. Good that you see that it's only temporary. Also good that you are reconsidering some routines if they don't work well/produce side effects. There must be a better way to reach the same results.

People will fill the void, it always happens. I was newsletter editor for a motorcycle association until I decided I'd had enough (it's a lot of work, and not a lot of help). I stepped down, someone else stepped up, she did it for a few years until she was sick of it, too, and so on.
 
Hi Cate,

Sorry to hear you have been feeling down. Sending good thoughts your way. I think it is important for everyone to roll with the punches (so to speak). Life is full of peaks and valleys. We weather the valleys and hope for the peaks. I am sending a cable car for you to take you back up to the peak!

Take care!
 
You guys are lovely. If you had said anything TOO sweet I would have been in tears again. Thank you!
LaMa- I'm sure R wouldn't think it weird if you said "I'm a friend of your Mum's". He could do with as many hugs as possible. You are sweet :beating:
Thanks Tri. I react to things unfortunately. I'm a bit of an emotional sponge. I'm taking myself off to golf today as I know that will help.
LJ- thanks. I know they will.
The person who I obviously upset & who then upset me I apologised to via pm. It was a misunderstanding of my odd sense of humour. I will now let it go as there's nothing else I can do. I never intend any harm to anyone & I am too sensitive. I'll try working on that.
Thanks for the cable car Cowboy. You posted while I was typing. I'm hopping on it right now. Thank you!

It's chilly again today & very cloudy. I'll still go to golf. I can do this!!!
Thanks lovely people, xoxo
 
Thank you LaMa. I'm very glad I went as I had a lovely day & played with 2 lovely women, who asked to play with me. My golf was woeful, but that's OK. I have done almost 12,000 steps today.
We're about to go out for dinner & then G is playing 8-ball in a final.
A much better day than yesterday!
 
You done good by apologizsing. I'm attempting to repair our (US) dumb recent diplomacy debacles by utiliszing both the US and AT spelling. Let the healing begin!
 
That is so funny LJ! There are so many variations in spelling between American English/Australian English & British English (A.K.A. English/English!) that you will be hard-pressed to put all of the alternatives into each word that is spelt differently.
Don't worry, if you voted, but did not vote for "that man" you have nothing to make up for :D
After getting over the initial shock, most people here just make fun of him. I think it's the only way to cope. It does not seem possible for him to see out the full term......surely!
Had a good night last night. Had a lovely dinner- a nice bigly ( LJ-:D ) steak, with LOTS of veg & 2 glasses of wine. Stayed under my cals thanks to golf. 12,390 steps.
Today I might need some help- 11 sheep in the small yard, shearer coming at 4, 3 sheep still to be shorn.....sound familiar? Fingers & toes crossed!
 
Hey Cate. I have to comment on your new profile pic - you look very tall and trendy in the picture. Strong and able for anything - that is the impression I'm getting from it!

Steak and veg dinner - sounds juicy. :)

I did! And I did not!

Ha ha. I didn't think so :) You are not at all responsible for him being there then.
We now have 11 shorn sheep :D Hoo-bloody-ray!

We do, however, have G's Ute stuck down at our son's house, that has a clutch which will not work. He borrowed it to do take pruning from his GF's place to the tip & when he got back to his house he couldn't get it into gear. We just took his car back down to his place so he could get to work & left the Ute there. I now have to work out how to get it to a garage. I'll ring the auto club some time later & see if they can tow it to the garage in town. I don't feel like doing anything much today or going anywhere, but tomorrow is free too, so we'll deal with it today I think when I find some energy.

I'm pretty sure I went over my cals yesterday, but haven't inputted them yet. I had better go do that now........
 
Sitting in an outdoor chair at our son's house now, waiting for the tow truck. When the roadside auto woman asked me what make it is I thought it was a Mazda & G thought it was a Mitsubishi & neither of us had a clue what the rego is! Slightly embarrassing! It's a Mazda.
They'll tow it to our local garage who thinks it's a simple thing. He's almost here now. Cheers!
 
Very exciting news!
G & I just booked a trip to Sri Lanka in May.
This is it- http://www.bunniktours.com.au/India...cfqLcx2_krIeSwNcN659bfKcT2XdQ-6b40aAsac8P8HAQ
I am now really excited. Once again, I will be overseas for my birthday. I LOVE that :D
G found a tour in the paper & wanted me to look up reviews. I must admit it did sound good, but it was to China. I have never wanted to go to China & neither has he. I looked it up & found awful reviews (luckily).
So I looked up the Bunniks tour of Sri Lanka that we have been humming & harring about for months, waiting to see how he is after his op etc.
I just said "they have vacancies for their May tour. Will I book?" Yes? Done!
HAPPY! Having something to look forward to is almost the key to happiness. Now I will lose a couple of kilos. I have a wonderful incentive. Sri Lankan food is scrumptious & it will be HOT! :D :D :D
