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!!

Goodbye 2021

May 2022 surprise us all with miraculous changes to the global narrative, numerous arrests and guilty verdicts for those who deserve it, celebrations by the once powerless as they become empowered and joyous reunions as the vaccine-free are permitted to cross the borders to reunite with friends and family.

Today was much quieter in the shop than I expected but sales were still good.

I had some fabulous conversations with some new and old acquaintances.

Adoring Husband and I attended a funeral via ZOOM on my desktop computer at the shop. It was moving, as funerals are, and difficult because I still had to serve customers during that 45 minutes. We really wanted to attend in person but between us, the zoom option was the best for us.

I spent about 30 minutes clearing out some drawers, brought another 25 timber coat hangers home and met for the last time with a sales rep from Brisbane. 

She is also vaccine-free and has lost some of her clients - pharmacies - if she is sick and requires medication for any reason, she IS allowed into the pharmacy to have a script filled or to purchase any other medications BUT as a healthy unvaccinated person, she is not allowed into the pharmacy to provide them with stock.

😳

Does that make sense?

Knowing that our time as colleagues is up, we exchanged private numbers and will remain in contact as like minded acquaintances with the possibility of developing a friendship.

Unfortunately her husband was waiting in the car for her so our time was very limited.

A quick shout out to Lady Lynn and Happy Harry who are celebrating an anniversary today!

Dirty Dancing is on telly tonight so I believe I shall climb into my cozy bed and fall asleep to the sight of Patrick Swayze’s gyrating hips!



I’ll see you next year!

Nite all.
