Not sweating the small stuff

I had another great weekend with a nice blend of rest and recovery and also fun. Sophia, a couple friends and I went to go watch The Empire Strips Back on Saturday which was a Star Wars parody burlesque show. I didn’t really know what to expect and candidly I thought it was going to be weird, but it was hilarious and entertaining and I’m glad we went.

I got a round of golf in on Sunday and the difficult course combined with my swing being off made it a rough afternoon. But I need to remember that I’m there to have fun and just enjoy being able to golf. I’m not going pro anytime soon and I know that being able to golf often is coming to an end in the near future with our child on the way.

I also had another minor annoyance when my laptop screen just went black on me while watching Netflix. It seems like the computer may have overheated and the port on the motherboard may have burnt up as I heard a pop and some smoke come out. Luckily, I’m still able to use the laptop with an external monitor but this is undoubtedly annoying and I’ll need to get a new laptop.

Again, I need to remind myself that this is just a minor annoyance and not to stress about the small things in life. Computers break. We get unlucky at times. And I’m not always going to play well in golf. If these annoyances are all I have to complain about over a good weekend, then life is good.
