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!!

Visitors Galore!

At 7am I met The Gypsy at the shop where we sat in the training room attempting to catch up on the last 6 weeks of our lives. Impossible to do inside two hours but it was an enjoyable morning.

At 9am on the dot I received another visitor - one of my consignment ladies - who stayed for about 20 minutes.

Soon after, another consignment lady arrived and chatted for 30 minutes.

At 10.30am, one of the meditation girls popped in. An hour later, just as the crowds moved in, she left.

Another half hour passed and one of my art girls walked in. While we were chatting, another lady, whose husband has Parkinson’s, visited me for her 3 monthly vent. They knew each other so the three way chat lasted for about 30 minutes.

While they were there, I received a delivery of stock.

I got 5 items out of the box when my next visitor, an old photography student, arrived with a friend. They stayed for 30 minutes.

In between all of these visitors, I had a huge day of sales, so even though Adoring Husband set up the tables in the training room for the art class on Saturday, I didn’t get a chance to do any setting up.

One of the art girls is coming in on Saturday morning to help 😍

I didn’t get a chance to unpack the delivery either.

I’m feeling mentally drained from so much socialising! I’m going to need a day in bed to recover from this week!

AH cooked curried chicken with cauliflower rice for dinner. He did a great job and it was delicious - he thought I was a growing teenage boy and filled my plate accordingly - so I couldn’t eat even half of it! He was definitely my hero tonight because I was in no frame of mind to cook.



It’s now my bed time.

Nite all.
