Cate's Diary

Thanks, Llama & Liza. I didn't type about the golf and socializing as I wanted to wait until the morning. Going out later was a deliberate attempt to see how I feel about socializing afterwards with the women & now I know for sure that I would rather play nine holes earlier & then go home. I don't enjoy that part of it. It was an experiment. B1 & B2 are still just as annoying & I would be better off not having much to do with them.
My golf was very ordinary & I couldn't concentrate or enjoy it. Another lesson learned. I just felt out of sorts & should have stayed at home really. I went out & joined a group with T in it as she had messaged me to say where on the course they were. I felt rushed. It's ok though. I'll just steer clear of the women as a group.

Too bad you didn't feel great about the golfing, but I do think sometimes that's how it goes and just showing up anyhow is a good pattern...sometimes my runs don't bring me the joy, but I like just keeping consistent with it.

Yes good to know that part of the golfing can be dropped!
 
B1 and B2 are petty criminals in a kids's series I used to watch and it amuses me immensely. As Liza said: sometimes exercise sessions aren't amazing but having showed up anyway is still a win.
 
Thanks, Em, Liza & Llama. I won't go on about B1 & B2. They're the mean girls & the less said the better. On a kids' show on TV here they're bananas, but the B stands for bitch in this instance for these two.
I had another shocking night's sleep. I just couldn't get comfortable. It was warm.
Edit: I’m just too tired to do the rounds of the diaries this morning!

Thanks, Llama.
In a hurry again. I'm leaving for golf soon & will be gone for most of the day & the same again tomorrow.
 
Thanks, Liza, Tru & Llama.
Saturday was a wonderful day. There was a huge turn-up & it was a testament to our friend. He was so well-liked & loved. The day would have raised a lot of money for the cancer clinic. T was there for most of the day & after her initial nerves, she seemed to enjoy the day. There were tears & lots of hugs but I bet she was thrilled with the day.
The 4 of us played well as a team & had lots of laughs & didn't miss out on coming a place by much. Short handicap teams usually win ambroses.
Sunday's game was very challenging. I don't know the course at all & struggled with it being a stroke event where you couldn't just abandon a hole if you were in a terrible spot or stuck in a bunker. I thought I should play to help prepare for playing 4 games in one week when we go to the Nats. As it turns out each comp day is going to be a Stableford event anyway so I needn't have bothered. I'm sure in hindsight it was good for me, but I don't think I'll play in stroke events again. I just didn't enjoy it at all. We had our AGM afterwards. It was put forward that the 3 women, including me, will form part of a 5 person team to represent our state. OMG. Talk about pressure. I'll try to forget about it I think. It means I won't be able to quit playing if I'm not enjoying it as I would let the team down.
I'm fairly tired this morning but slept really well. I'm glad I have got back into playing golf. I know it's good for me.
 
Representing your state after only just getting back into the game would be stressful. But it wasn't you pushing to be included I'm sure so I think it's ok not to stress about it too much.
Glad to hear Saturday was so fun!
 
Being part of a team is amazing. I’ve played twice as part of the tennis team, even though I’m not great, and it is such a rewarding experience. Go for it!
