Sunday Bookclub and Such

This was probably our least successful year at the PGA tournament, but it was fun to be with the kids.  The weather SUCKED -- oscillated between full sun (HOT, HOT, HOT) and thunderstorms (code red and no golfing for about a 90 minute delay).  We didn't get to see a lot of golf.  Spent more time walking to and from the sponsor tent (free drinks and food) and the golf course.  We finally called it quits right before another storm stoppage and then they closed for the evening.  Next year we'll do better -- we already have a better plan.

Only took a couple of pictures with my phone ...




Oura ring says I had an awesome night's sleep, but I don't feel particularly awesome.  This is the first morning that my stats and how I feel don't match.  I wonder if I'll perk up as the morning goes -- I think the heat took a lot out of me yesterday, but I guess it made me sleep like a baby :)

Bookclub today.  3 of us are a "yes."  Other than a quick cleanup on the main level, I'm making very little effort so whatever happens will be okay.  No one eats the food people put out, so I'm doing a candy tray -- caramel creams, Swedish fish and chocolate.  I'll make peach herbal iced tea and that's the extent of my hosting.  Do you think over or under 3 will show up?  For sure 1 (me lol) ... a number of the regulars didn't respond yet.  Could end up with a bigger group or the 2 who said "yes" could flake.

The flowers are a GO for pickup this morning.  Yea!  A thank you to my neighbor for letting the dogs out and an arrangement for me.  I enjoy fresh flowers a lot.  Hopefully, the farm has some good produce today too.  My refrigerator is EMPTY in a real way.  Lots of grocery store runs this week.

FS stuff is going well.  I'm proud of yesterday -- didn't drink (even though it was free), didn't eat the sweets (gluten).  I had a few "moments" come up with talk of Thanksgiving (we might be alone this year), the CO wedding and the dog foster group.  Coaching kicked in and I regrouped and recovered well.  Today is about being relaxed about however bookclub turns out -- no pressure and wearing a new jumper (bit out of the box for me).  Relaxed and fun day.

The dog foster situation is I was kicked out of the administrative groups.  I haven't done that kind of work since the new person took over so I can't blame them, but I felt snubbed that I didn't get a heads up on it.  Then I remembered, I never gave them a heads up that I wasn't doing the work anymore either -- I just stopped.  I was kind of grandfathered in because I was the sole person doing it for years.  It gave me an inside track when I had a foster up for adoption and that's the only reason I hadn't quit the message groups.  I think I'm heading down the road to leave this group totally (the new person running the group lies, gossips and makes shady money decisions).  Letting go is hard for me, but I think this is ultimately the path.  No need for a rash decision so I'm hanging on for now.  

Lots of stuff swirling in my head right now, but I'm handling it better than usual.  Putting coaching into practice.

Hope you have a good Sunday too.  Later gators.
