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!!

Friday with a Flourish

My day began with low energy and a few uneasy feelings that I couldn’t explain and they didn’t feel very nice at all.

So I stayed in bed until about 10.30am which is when I heard the pool calling to me.

The water was chillier than I expected, so I knew that Adoring Husband wouldn’t be joining me. I swam some laps, floated, did lots of exercises to the music, sat in the sun for ten minutes and then sat in the Bali hut for a while.

I took a phone call from my favourite Aunty because she had just received my calendar which I sent to her for Christmas. She’s fabulous and was gushing over my photography.

Eventually, I headed inside to shower and make myself presentable for a video, which The Motivator and I were going to make in the shop, to wish our customers a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

By the time I arrived at the shop, TM finished serving customers and we fixed the stoopid Square Reader again, neither of us was really in the mood for making videos, so we’ve delayed it for a day or two.

AH and I both attended the club tonight and the members of our group were almost all pretty lucky. I had a nice win on the pokies, so Merry Christmas to me!

We had a late dinner. Late for us is 8.30pm because we usually eat at 6pm.

Tomorrow will be an early start because we’re taking one of the psychotic dogs in for grooming. The Bay will be chaotic on the last Saturday morning before Christmas and school holidays have just begun so ... you know ... eep!

So it’s bed for me now.

Nite all.
