Five more days of study left til the exam. Feeling pressured. Brain won't retain the information long enough! So much to remember! Ugh!
I wish there was a way to change my brain from being a reflective surface bouncing all the information back to where it came from .. to a sponge soaking up and retaining everything that I need to know.
Ageing brains are not our friends. Well, not mine anyway.
I actually did some cooking today too. A chicken and vegetable stew, a roast chicken and some honey and lemon chicken wings. I planned on making an apple tart this evening too, but then a very long phone call with 'best cousin in the world' put an end to that idea.
Adoring Husband had some SES training tonight, so I had a few hours at home alone, but a very unproductive few hours!
Once again, it's after midnight.
Sleep is my friend.
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!!
