Sunday ME time

I thought about my bubble and how Jodi <the possible romantic interest that I so quickly and willingly let go of> told me that I wasn't experiencing loneliness in the time of coronavirus lockdown simply because I have Johnnie with me a big chunk of the week. That may be true. But there was also golf and I was so glad to be playing again after several months on the sideline, if not for the golf then at least for the social aspects too. Especially today. We played at Roosevelt Golf Course today and i also presented Scott with my old golf cart. Since Lisa graciously gave me her golf cart to use, then I thought it was only appropriate to give Scott my rickety cart. I had that thing for only 2 years, the first purchase i made when I left the Maplewood house and it's been well used clearly. But it's still much better than those crap carts Scott rents every Sunday. And he paid for my round this morning too. So the last time I played here at Roosevelt, I had a HORRENDOUS game. I couldn't hit anything from the fairway after hitting mostly nice tee shots. And so I knew I had to make some adjustment. I also focused on simply getting myself relaxed and slowing down my swing. I told myself this morning to simply focus on the learning opportunity so that I could learn to be more consistent. More consistent at golf, more consistent with my daily spiritual practice, more consistent with reaching high vibrations as often as possible. That's already pretty good with today's intentions right? So back to the golf. No Chris today but Greg is just as formidable. Today I actually shot 2 pars... both on the short holes. Hole3 and Hole9. I was still having my fairway issues but not as bad as last week. I actually had pretty good shots, but couldn't get myself out of trouble when I hit close to out of bounds. I have got to figure out why I whiff so much on the fairway. I simply can not slow my swing down. Finally on Hole 7 I realized that I was thinking too much and when I do that is when I whiff. The balance is in getting to "relaxed" and not thinking too much while also not swinging blindly at the ball. I realize that is my life lesson too: Not to overthink things, just let go and cede control to the Universe. Isn't that what I have to learn to do with life too? I at least won 3 holes today, 2 of them outright. Although I didn't beat Greg, I did ok enough. Just need to do a bit better next time. If I can win 3, maybe I can win 5 right? And although it started cloudy and a bit overcast first thing when we got there, the sun did peep out by the time we got done and I was home by 11:30 AM too. Which leaves me the entire afternoon. 
Usually if this were 4 months ago, I'd be at Crimson enjoying some salmon kabob. In the time of coronavirus, I drove to IN-N-Out Culver City and had just as enjoyable a lunch as a double-double with fries and a Coke. Gotta indulge yourself every once in a while you know? I didn't know if Lisa would call to invite me to dinner... but with Courtney in the house, that wasn't likely. And so I just spent the afternoon on the couch vegging, finishing my laundry, and actually enjoying that I had gotten enough activity in the last 6 days that whatever I did today or didn't do today was enough... or didn't matter. I was already at almost 78000 miles after golf and so I didn't even bother to try to reach 10000. Not today. Sometimes you need a rest day too right? I finished the rest of my grocery shopping, and actually bought ingredients for my famous beef stew. Which I made in my Instant Pot. This gives me a good 3 meals in the next week. And tonight, the very first one is ALWAYS the best. Nice and hot and eaten with fresh Italian bread. And watching Snow Piercer and then NOS4A2 back to back. A perfectly decent Sunday... and considering I had Johnnie yesterday? It was not a bad idea to have today to myself actually. I'll see him again tomorrow anyway. And with that as I watched the sunset I also thought this is the last few days of June too. And we are now well into the summer. And what a different summer it's going to be...
