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!!

At Last!!!

My deliveries finally arrived today!

Sassy Duck bags, Glass on the Grass and a big shipment of hats from the Cancer Council.

I rode my trike again this morning and left home at 7.40am to arrive at 7.48am because I had a few things to do before meditation.

The class was great and a few ladies stayed behind afterwards for coffee. I sat with them a while.

I seemed to get a lot of jobs started today but very few finished.

I unpacked the hats.

I cleared off the white table behind the counter to accommodate my iMac which I will only use occasionally - but I haven't used it for almost 3 years so I need to remember the password to log in!

I began to clear out the treatment room in preparation for The Motivator to set it up for her appointments.

Because I needed a space to store some stuff from the treatment room, I began to clear some old boxes and ‘stuff’ from the end storage cupboard. 

So tomorrow, I still need to finish clearing both the treatment room and the cupboard. I need to price and display two boxes of stock. I hope the final piece of my hat stand will arrive so that I can display the new shipment of hats (of which there are many!)

I need to make a space for this giant hat stand!

We had to wait at the shop until the deliveries arrived, which was just after 2.30pm so Adoring Husband helped me check off the hat invoice while we waited.

I rode home and decided to take some quiet “me” time in the pool. The water was perfect so put on some 60s music, swam a few laps, floated and did some stretches, then sat under the Bali hut for half an hour.

It was the perfect way to end my work day.

AH cooked our lamb on the barbecue and I threw together a salad.

We settled in for State of Origin but I realised I had to find my Queensland charm necklace because I promised my little sis that I’d wear it.

I spent a long time searching through my extensive jewellery collection to no avail but at least I unpacked a lot of jewellery that I haven’t seen for a year, so I have so much more to choose from now!

NSW was winning 10 nil at half time in the State of Origin so I decided that QLD needed my undivided attention for the second half and it worked!! Winner winner chicken dinner to QLD!!



Time now to sleep. It’s been a full productive day and I need to rest this old body.

Nite all.
