Sun

The tournament actually went rather well today. I am sun-worn and exhausted, but it was a good day. I shared my current status with the two older men in charge of the hole where I was stationed, and they did a great job of keeping an eye on me throughout the day. Though, not much was needed from them. I actually was mostly okay all day. I managed to eat one of the breakfast sandwiches they had for volunteers when I arrived, and it helped immensely with the nausea. Then, apparently, blue Powerade, ice water, and my snacks got me through most of the day. When someone finally brought us some sandwiches, I was starting to feel sick. But I felt much better after I ate some of the sandwich.

I ate a bit more when we got back to the volunteer room about half an hour later, but not much. I was satisfied for the time being.

By the time I finally got home, though, I was beyond wiped out and my belly was hurting. I had a protein-dense cashew milk thing, then showered and am now lying in bed, letting out gas. (Sorry, but it’s true. I’m not enjoying it either.) As soon as I’m able to curl up and sleep, I am doing it. Just waiting for enough gas to exit either direction, so that I’m reasonably comfortable and can fall asleep.

But it was an impressively good day, especially for my health and well-being.

Oh, and it was really cool to see great golfers up close while they played. Including ones that I’ve seen on tv(!). They look exactly the same in person. Haha It was cool.

Thank you, God, for today. Please, help me to sleep well tonight and to have another good day tomorrow. Help me to be of service and to make a positive difference through my efforts. Make me comfortable in this pregnancy, while bringing it healthily to full-term and the life-long joy we seek as a family. Keep my husband safe, please. In your name, I pray. Amen.
