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!!

Draining

It has been an emotionally draining day.

In the last four days I’ve learned of twelve people (friends and close acquaintances), whose pre-existing conditions have worsened OR they’ve been given a new serious medical diagnosis.

It’s concerning and disturbing.

I don’t like it one little bit.

It was a slow day at work.

Just three big sales, so I used the quiet time to rearrange the clothing and bag displays and set up the iMac in the training room so that I can run an instructional video during class.

I had lots of visitors during the day and sat down for a chat with most of them - except for Aggie - who, being the most important of all,  I should have sat down with!

So I still didn’t get to clear my desk. It’s going to be a big job when I finally get to it.

Adoring Husband arrived 20 minutes early to help shut the shop and at home we hung out a load of washing and I folded my clothes that came off the line and we played a game of Scrabble!

Winner winner chicken dinner for me!

We watched the men’s 10m platform diving qualifying round.

AH cooked his usual Friday night dinner and by 8pm I was ready for bed. I’m in bed watching the Olympic javelin event in which we have three Australians in the final.

I’m tired though and need to sleep now.



Nite all.
