Age Challenged rQQzy: Out of Sorts

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!!

Out of Sorts

I am feeling very run down.

My body hurts all over and all the nerves feel like they are on the surface of my skin, I had no energy and no motivation for anything today. Even meditation was hard going for me.

I slept poorly last night too.

It’s now 8.30 and I’m in bed waiting for the BBC2 Popmaster Quiz so that I can go to sleep.

It was an average day of sales and Adoring Husband and I had to go into The Bay this afternoon so I planned on closing 15 minutes early. Wouldn’t you know it ... right on 1.45pm, in walk ten people! They hung around for 15 minutes and spent a whole $10.

Pesky customers 😜

We had many stops and lots of walking in The Bay.

The first stop was to pick up the FROG box then on to Truckloads, Kmart, Target, Sussans, Chemist, Coles, Spotlight and eventually back to my shop to pick up the money tin and laptop.

I can’t even explain how exhausted I feel right now.

Sleep will be welcomed and hopefully it will be a sound sleep.
