I played golf on Friday for the first time in years and the first time in 20 years that I didn't have a crippled knee bothering me. It started as a beautiful day and my game reflected that, I had the best game of golf in my life. The weather turned windy, cold and cloudy by the time we got to the back nine. For those of you who have been following my anxiety/heart issues you may see where this is going. So I was pretty worried by the end of the round of golf, thinking about job etc. But Saturday was a new day and we all had a pretty good time. I was as relaxed as I've been in weeks if not months. Kelly and Jack (aka the tank) were visiting and so was Ginny's dad, Joe. Our community had a progressive dinner Saturday night and that was very enjoyable. We hosted the dessert for the entire crowd which I think was supposed to be about 40 people. The down side for the day was that by 9pm my neck (herniated disk and several vertebrae with degenerative arthritis) was really aggravated and around 10pm I snuck upstairs and went to bed. All of that served to heighten my anxiety as well. In an attempt to make this an uplifting post, on Sunday I wok up feeling great and decided to try a bit more golf so Joe and I hit the course Sunday afternoon. I only put in 10 holes so as not to aggravate the neck and Joe stuck it out for 18. Great day, great weather, and I had a phone call earlier in the day with one of my partners/bosses in NY which helped me feel a bit more relaxed about my whole job situation. End result is I slept better last night than I have in months I think. This morning was sad because Kelly, Jack and Joe were heading home. To top it off, Ginny was traveling with Kelly and Jack to spend a couple days in NY (I think she wants to see what 90 degrees feels like cause we don't get that too often in Pacifica).
That's all for now, I'll let you know what the cardiologist has to say after my appointment on Wednesday.
