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!!

Happy Study

Yessssss!

Finally, I sat at my desk and studied.

I've been studying on my laptop, on the couch, intermittently and when Adoring Husband was watching TV, it was quite distracting .. however, it was my choice to do it that way, so I only have myself to blame.

I have been avoiding my desk and my desktop iMac because that computer was running so slow that it frustrated the hell out of me!

For some unknown reason, something has happened in the last 3 months since I stopped using the iMac, and today, when I turned it on, it was running perfectly!

What a pleasure it was to study today!

As an added bonus, I used my oil burner to burn some 'wild orange' essential oil at the desk. Wild orange helps uplift mood and energy levels, so I stayed quite motivated for about six hours.

I'm waiting on a special blend of essential oils to come in the mail, which will help me focus. I have high hopes for that one! It should arrive some time in the next week. Hopefully before my exams!

I haven't used essential oils before.

I have used scented oils, which really just make the room smell pretty ... or toxic ... whichever way you want to look at it.

So I'm dipping my toes and testing the waters .. just another tier to the natural way of improving or maintaining good health. I haven't delved too far into it yet because I'm now cramming for two exams due in less than two weeks, but what I've looked at so far, is very interesting and I'm keen to learn more!

Anyway, I was just on my way to bed when I remembered I hadn't posted here yet, so now I'm off! It's midnight!

Nite all.
