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!!

Sleepy Head

It was after 1.30am when I fell asleep and 5.22am when I woke up.

Even though it was short, it was a sound sleep.

I phoned the hospital early to ask what was happening with Adoring Husband, to be told that the UTI he had been struggling with for the last 6 weeks had taken hold and that he was now on an IV drip of antibiotics to  nip it in the bud. They said he would be in hospital for at least another night.

Beautiful Girl With The Long Blonde Hair went for an early walk so when she returned I filled her in the news. She was shocked that she slept through all of that!

We made smoothies for breakfast, went for a swim and at 9.30am we drove into The Bay with AH’s toiletries. I tell you it was a drama trying to find him ... or even someone to ask where he was. Eventually we discovered that he was being held in isolation because there were no beds available in the wards.

They led me to his bed where he was sleeping flat on his back. It didn’t take much to wake him though and he explained, with very little detail, what was happening.

I’ve spoken to him again this evening and they are conducting all the same tests that he did last week with his own Dr and he may stay in until Tuesday!

BGWLBH and I did some fresh fruit and veg shopping before we came home.

All day we have filled our bellies with giant salads and smoothies packed with nutritional goodness. 

Now it’s 9.30 pm and I am struggling to stay awake, so I shall sign off here and catch up on some much needed sleep.



I can’t stay awake for another moment.

Nite all.
