I was so looking forward to sleeping in my own bed last night, but alas, sleep eluded me til the early hours of the morning.
We have builders next door (right beside our bedroom), who start work at 6.30am, so I woke to the sound of hammers banging loudly. *sigh*
It was nice, though, to go for a ride on my trike to The Seat of Knowledge this morning and spend an hour with my boys.
I then went to meet the girls for morning tea, but they didn't turn up (you know who you are!), but that was ok because I've been away and hadn't made any real arrangements to meet them.
I got myself a coffee and sat for half an hour.
A few people stopped for a chat, so it was a pleasant way to spend the morning.
I followed that up with a ride to the lagoon where I met up with three of the locals ...
The rest of the day was pretty lazy.
I spent some time in the kitchen (of course) and some time in my workspace editing a couple of photos.
I had a phone call from AIAS about the Diploma in Medical Nutrition. I'm strongly considering this study option. It means a four year commitment to study and the end result will be a qualification as a Nutritionist. I have ten days to make a decision.
This is the result of a sunset shoot with the Nikonian while I was at the Sunny Coast...
Time to attempt sleep again.
Nite all.
I'm lazy and selfish and spend too much time on the internet. I love to be creative with photography and jewellery and sketching with pencil and pastels. I'm happier now than I have ever been and I love everything about my life ... where I live, my home, my fantastic grown up children, my lifestyle, my friends, my dogs and last but not least my wonderful adoring husband. Life is good!
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!!
