Goilf Sunday and a Johnnie surprise

You know it's going to be a good golf game when you score a par on the very first hole, even if it's just at the easy first hole at Penmar. I blasted my very first shot 200+ yards down the fairway, squirted a 7 past the hole but then putted from the fringe inches from the hole and an eezy-peezy par! That would be the 4th straight Sunday I've shot a par on the very first hole! How about THAT! Actually I played well here a few weeks ago and at Roosevelt last week so I expected the same today as I think I have come close to solving my own personal riddle of not playing well from the fairway. I was hitting the ball from the fairway ok today, but not necessarily very accurately as I was hitting them to the left fairly consistently and I never did make the adjustment. And actually my tee shots also drifted left though I hit them long on Hole 4 and 5. It wasn't until Hole 7 that I finally hit it straight again and again right down the middle. Man it feels good when I do that. In all cases, the next fairway shot was short which should have been the adjustment I needed to make. Oh well. In the end I didn't have a terrible game. It was just ok. But it could have been really good if I just made those adjustments. And so it was that I had another nice Sunday morning of golf in the books and then I followed it up with a turkey burger from the Counter just to change things up a bit. Doing that cost me an extra $10 from the usual lunch spend though which was annoying. But at least the burger was really really good. 

I was about ready to take a nap when imagine my surprise when Johnnie video chatted me asking if I could come over for lunch. Uh-oh. That means that Lisa needed something. Turned out that I missed a text from her that she had found fleas on Claire and was not dealing with it well. Great. What am I supposed to do about it other than get the dog some anti-flea powder? And actually I had already had lunch but what the heck. I bit just so I could see Johnnie again LOL. I have a feeling that Lisa was on overwhelm because of the flea stuff and she was starting to lose patience with Johnnie. Turned out I was right. Johnnie missed me yesterday surprise surprise and wanted to see me. And I could see from all the stuff Lisa was washing that she was giving all the bedsheets in all the rooms a once-over. Probably a good thing since she did find those fleas. And of course I would get the requisite lecture on what to do in my house. What was I intending to do? Nothing. Get some flea medication. Get some powder. And now you're supposed to bathe the dog less so the medication could kick in. Which means I don't let her sleep on my couch is all. Doesn't seem like much of a big deal to me. But that's me. I will have to also factor in that she is going to her own office Christmas Party tonight so there's that. Still I came on over and had another small lunch with mom and son and THEN helped out where I could. That would be taking out the garbage, even meeting the new next door neighbor who came by bearing gifts for Lisa. How nice was that?! And why does it feel like right now, this afternoon I was still a resident of this house? I did watch Johnnie and Lisa actually did play some piano which is what she needed all along just to get out of overwhelm. I was happy to help. But at 4:30 PM they needed to get going and so did I. I have my own Christmas party arrangements to prep for, including buying the present for my Secret Santa. I coulda woulda shoulda started doing all that work I intended to do yesterday but ran out of time on. And in the end, I did run all my reports for the HRSA report at least. I could say I did SOMETHING. But I will have to finish those tomorrow. Tonight I felt noticeably tired. Maybe from golf and the lack of sleep and the no-nap afternoon. And dealing with Lisa yet again LOL. No need for any isochronics to help me sleep tonight. I knocked out easily.
