Age Challenged rQQzy: Rest and Recuperation

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!!

Rest and Recuperation

I had a good relaxing day.

In the morning, I went a bit deep into the rabbit hole of research and on the advice of BGWLBH, I pulled back and gave myself the rest of the day in a peaceful state.

The good news out of my research confirmed that Sweden, Switzerland, Denmark, UK, Norway, Finland and Ireland have all dropped the covid/vaccine mandates completely.

All three of us spent most of Sunday in separate rooms.

Adoring Husband sat in the lounge room watching the Winter Olympics.

BGWLBH lay on her bed watching movies and TikTok.

I lay on my bed playing Words With Friends, journaling, Facebooking and drinking tea.

Lunch was ‘fend for yourself’.

Dinner was fried rice with vegetable shish-kebobs (BGWLBH’s idea) done on the barbecue.

We played trivia until 7pm when MAFS called to me.

We all had a relaxing day of self caring and tomorrow is Monday, but I’ll be at the shop giving myself an extra day to move/sell stock. This is my final week.

Historically, the week school goes back is a quiet one for me, but hopefully 50% off will continue to draw people in.
