Nice to see you!

Three major events occurred for me last year (2010), all in the space of about 2 weeks. I turned 50. The following day I got married. Two weeks later, my oldest daughter became pregnant with her first child and my first grandchild.

Most middle-aged people will tell you that in their minds, they still feel 20 something. It's the same for me.

Wasn't it only yesterday that I was planning a night out with guys from the surf club? That gorgeous new perm. Flaired, cuffed denims and the red t-shirt with the off-the-shoulder frill. Corked platform wedgies. **sigh**

Suddenly I'm looking in the mirror and wondering how 30 years can flash by so damned quickly!

So here I am in cyberspace, sharing my genuine shock and horror with anyone who'll listen and maybe I'll even meet some other over 50s who find themselves in the same predicament!

Welcome to my dilemna!!

It Got Me!

While on holidays, I came into contact with many, many people who were carrying some kind of virus.  They were coughing and voiceless and lethargic.  Even BGWLBH was ill for a time.

I fought it as best I could by taking regular doses of Olive Leaf Extract, Manuka honey, Vitamin C, drinking lots of water, eating apples and onions.

Unfortunately during the night of my first night home, I woke up feeling like I had swallowed razor blades.

I have spent the day locked in my bedroom, hoping to keep my nasty germs away from little Chicklet ... we all know that she needs to build her immunities, but I am NOT going to be the one who causes her to feel this crappy!

Hopefully if I take it easy for the next day or two, I will get well quickly and be able to give her big kisses and cuddles again.

So my posts between now and when I'm well again, may be brief or non-existent.

Just thought I would let you know, in case there is anybody out there who cares.

I fought a good hard battle, but in the end, it got me!!

Nite all

So sorry about the 'bug' RQQzy ....at least we
saved you from our one, which I did catch from g'pa
- we were very disappointed to miss seeing you,
but very glad we didn't pass our 'bug' on.
hard for you not to be able to cuddle chicklet.
Hope you are well soon. x
