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!!

Catch Up

It was a quiet day in the shop which worked out well for The Motivator and I because we had a LOT to catch up on!

We spent the day talking, opening birthday presents, talking, checking out the new clothes steamer, talking, ordering stock, talking, viewing all the art in the training room, talking, talking and more talking.

We left the shop right on closing time and while I considered doing some art, my body, knowing there is no work for a few days, is slowly shutting down and I lost the energy and the motivation to do anything except cook dinner.

It is just after 7pm and I’m ready for bed. I’m going to watch The Bachelor in bed and then fall into a coma until whatever time tomorrow morning.

That’s all I have say for today ... except ... it’s good to have The Motivator back. The Happy Abode is whole again 🤗

Nite all.
