Age Challenged rQQzy: Long Day

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!!

Long Day

I slept soundly and for a solid 7.5 hours last night.

I woke up feeling bright eyed, bushy tailed and keen to bound out of bed!

We even opened the shop 20 minutes early.

I vacuumed the floors, emptied the bins, washed the dishes, stapled biz cards to the bags, served customers, created an ad for the aromatherapy workshop that’s happening at the shop on Thursday and posted it on Facebook as well as printing it out and pinning it in the shop.

I created a ‘to do’ list for the weekend and gathered all the paperwork that I needed to bring home before packing up and preparing for Adoring Husband to pick me up.

We left with our freshly made coffee right on 1pm.

I couldn’t wait to put my feet up and we watched a couple of Netflix movies together before switching over to the football.

I made Hainan chicken for dinner with a big batch of mixed wild mushrooms, which was delicious.

My day has been busy, productive, relaxing and long. Actually, my whole week has been that way so I’m looking forward to my weekend off.
