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!!

Hectic Wednesday

I slept soundly from 10pm til 2.30am but it took an hour to get back to sleep after I got up to pee and then the alarm woke me at 6am.

All things considered, I woke up feeling pretty refreshed with plenty of energy … until about 1pm when my energy was completely drained and I’d have enjoyed a nap at the shop if those pesky customers hadn’t kept walking through the door!

Meditation this morning was amazing. Instead of the usual lesson and discussions, we meditated for the entire hour. The hour felt like 15 minutes and we were all surprised at how quickly the time passed. Our bodies went into total relaxation mode and I felt like I was floating for about an hour afterwards.

The Gypsy and I had some quality time afterwards and the girls didn’t stay long in the training room. 

The shop began to get get busy at about 10.15am and it was steady going for most of the day. Sales were really good but I didn’t have time to unpack the five boxes of stock that arrived on Tuesday and another box arrived today. Yet another will probably land on the doorstep tomorrow and there is still one more due after that.

So much to do, so little time!

My desk is a disaster area and is beginning to feel a bit overwhelming.

I was very pleased when Adoring Husband arrived to close the shop and it felt good to change into my slobberdog clothes and put my feet up for the afternoon.

I made lamb fritters for dinner and we watched our favourite TV show - Gogglebox. The new series started tonight.

Now it’s time to sleep.



Nite all.
