I got my new driver last Thursday and the hybrid on Monday. I saved about 8 strokes on Wednesday league. With the driver I'm getting about 20 more yards but instead of going straight I now have a fade. On the first hole my ball took off then faded near the end of the row of trees. Where it ended up I don't know. We never did find it.

The hybrid is better. The balls still go straight and about 15 yards or so farther than with my 3 wood.

Jodie and I went to Hankerd Hills today with Cheri and Travis. Little kids are so funny. Cheri had to keep telling Travis not to kill the ball. He hits it like he's playing softball. Jodie and I were calling him Earl Jr. after his dad.

Cheri can really smack the ball. I think girls that have a softball background do better. At least that's my excuse. I hit a good ball but I just don't get the distance everyone else does. My mom even outdrives me.

I need a little more practice lining myself up to play against my new fade but I really like this club. The ball sounds different and really takes off. The hybrid is a cool club too. I miss hit a few balls but not as many as I usually do.

The greens were superfast (we haven't had rain in a few weeks) and I ended up with some penalty strokes but I'm happy with my final score, and my new clubs.



Today was the Concord Classic. I was entered and really looking forward to being in it. I asked for the day off weeks ago. Then when it came time to wake up, my stomach and head hurt and I thought I was going to get sick again. I ended up not going and sleeping until after 1pm, even after going to bed early.

I hate feeling like I wasted a vacation day, but I'd feel worse going then getting sick out on the course. I'll probably feel worse tomorrow when I see the results and find out that I might have done well.

I swear it's work that is making me sick.

I've decided that I'm going to call the ethics line tomorrow and put in a report about the harassment and that Bitchup has had since May 4 (when she was told) and hasn't taken care of it and that it's escalating. I think I'll send another letter to EEOC and also mention that I suspect drug/alcohol abuse to be a factor. After Friday I dread going to work tomorrow since I know there will be fall out. I need to take my digital camera to work to document anything.

Yesterday was my blog's 1st birthday!!!

Happy belated birthday!!

It was also the Rose Run which even though I haven't been running, I was planning on being in. It looks like I would have done pretty well too.
But...We went to Woody's after golf on Wednesday and I got food poisoning or something. I was so sick Wednesday night. I stayed home from work on Thursday and didn't feel good the whole day. I called in on Friday then my mom called and she called the doctor for me. Realy all he did was tell me to drink Gatorade and gave me antiboitics. (my body HAS to be immune to them by now)

I had taken yesterday off for the race and felt a bit better when I woke up so I went to the pool but didn't use any sunscreen so I was hot with chills and my right thigh was on FIRE. I didn't sleep at all so I'm home to day too. Now I'm totally out of FMLA and there is still 6 months to go. I've had nurovirous 3 times in 8 months. I'm on discipline so I can't be tardy and my script scores are low so I can't get any a-time. Good god.

Mom, Jodie and I went golfing to Pine Hollow and I played sooo well. Starting this Wednesday I'm slowing WAY done. Going to take at least one practice swing for every shot and put the club away after each shot. I'm also going to get a new driver and get a new 3 wood. I'm going to keep the 7,9, 11 etc woods and probably the irons since I hardly use them. I'm putting left hand low and that is helping. I need to work on my aim too. It is getting a bit better. I'm going to try to go to the range at least once a week.

But I need to run too. Ugg.
