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!!

Waiting

It seems that my assignment is stuck on the submission page .. and I'm not sure why, so I've sent an email to the 'powers that be' to find out what I can do about it.  I can't delete it.  I can't send it.  I can't edit it.

So today has been a day of waiting.  Tomorrow will also be a day of waiting.  They promise a 48 hr response to emails.

I had a late start to the morning because it was raining and it was cool weather .. who wants to get out of bed on a cool wet morning, when there is no need to?  Adoring Husband bought me a coffee and the local newspaper and I enjoyed an extra hour in bed.

I did get a few hours of study in, but I don't feel like I achieved much today.  I have big study plans for tomorrow and especially the weekend.

My #100happydays photo for today ...


... my river makes me happy every day!

Nite all.
