Who knew I could feel even older than I did yesterday!?
All of my bits are aching, my feet are sore, my bones are creaking, my brain is shutting down, my enthusiasm is waning, my ideas are fading, my grunt is groaning and even my yawn is faltering.
Six hours at the shop today rearranging display cabinets, dusting, cleaning, vacuuming, reorganising stock displays and reconfiguring my office space.
There’s still hours of work to do, but the big stuff is mostly done. There’s quite a bit of fiddly redisplaying to do which I’ll do tomorrow afternoon and then into the week. No rush really.
Adoring Husband and I are absolutely exhausted.
We made some mini pizzas on our paleo bases for dinner because it was the easiest thing we could think of.
Right now we are attempting to stay awake for the House Rules Final, but I think that as soon as I sign off here, I’ll be heading to bed to watch it. Hopefully I can stay awake until they announce the winner.
It’s a blessing that I have a lunch date tomorrow so that I don’t have to spend another six hours working, although I imagine there will still be numerous hours in the afternoon.
Ok, my brain can’t do anymore.
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!!
