I have felt a little the worst for wear today after the big fall yesterday.
Not just the bits of my body that I landed on, but all of my muscles and joints have been reminding me of the jarring from yesterday's mishap.
Ugh.
Adoring Husband was capable of fulfilling the minimal requirements of his job this morning, so even though I was awake and heard him drive off, I didn't have to get out of bed early for work.
The Pool Guy arrived bright and early to clean the pool and demonstrated to AH how the filter worked and how the light in the pool changed colours on a timer.
We can now swim in the pool and tomorrow's maximum will be 27C - that could be high enough to take our first dip!
It was a much better day in the shop today with lots of happy customers, some new ones in the mix. We also took delivery of two lots of stock which is always fun.
The day passed quickly and The Motivator came for a visit and shared in the joy of opening new stock.
Adoring Husband arrived at the end of the day and helped me close the shop - of course he was a bit limited in his movement so he couldn't do all that he usually does, but it was still helpful.
I pedalled home and made myself presentable for the club where the only winner was Grumpy Old Fart who won $50.
Dinner was ready when I got off the bus even though AH had spent the entire evening on the phone organising SES members for a land search tomorrow to look for a missing person.
I MAY have to work for AH tomorrow morning but I don't have to work at the shop until Tuesday so I hope to spend my time editing the wedding photos and doing a bit of work around the house.
It's 11pm so I should get some sleep, just in case.
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!!
