Age Challenged rQQzy: Filling Up

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!!

Filling Up

The caravan park filled up today so I’m thinking the Fraser Coast Show public holiday has brought people/families to town for the long weekend.

It was busy in the shop and it was a good day for sales.

Lots of people vowed to bring their other family members in when they arrive on Saturday so I’m expecting an influx tomorrow. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Besides serving customers, I can’t even remember what I else I did today!

I had a couple of visitors. The ‘Heart of Art’ came in before lunch to pick up her art from last weekend. She stayed for about half an hour. ‘Little Miss Chatterbox’ lingered for over 30 minutes. ‘Aggie’ popped in for a while too.

I didn’t eat any food all day so by closing time my energy levels were really low. Adoring Husband suggested I retreat to my bedroom and rest, so instead of eating something nutritious to help energise my body, I lay on the bed studying, drinking tea and water, dozing and playing until he served my dinner just before 6pm.

Perhaps I’ll think smarter and actually eat some nutritious food while I’m at work every day so that my brain and my body function at an optimum level.

I’m smart enough to know better than to try and run on empty.

Footy was good tonight and tipping has been easy so far. Me, along with everybody else on the planet, are three from three this week.

Now I’m going to fall asleep to the sound of my audible book called “Profit First”.
