Age Challenged rQQzy: Solid Sleep

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!!

Solid Sleep

After only three hours of sleep on Thursday night, I fell asleep instantly at midnight and slept a solid nine hours on Friday night.

I was surprised when I opened my eyes and checked the time at 9.20am!

When I got up to make myself breakfast, BGWLBH put in a tentative request for poached eggs so I reevaluated and decided that would be a delicious way to start my day.

After breakfast I did a few small jobs like watering the indoor plants, emptying the bin, tidying up and because it was such a beautiful day, I took my iPad outside to watch an uncensored video full of amazing and interesting information.

Our Coles delivery arrived much earlier than I expected so I moved inside to unpack the groceries.

We played trivia for a couple of hours and AH and I watched a movie before I prepared duck a l’orange with mash, beans, broccolini and carrot for my two housemates. I ate a mandarin.

We’ve spent the evening watching football finals.

I think I’ll do some art tomorrow and attempt to finish my octopus.

I don’t think I can watch anymore of this Cronulla Sharks vs QLD Cowboys game. It’s too stressful!
