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!!

Tough Start

I went to sleep some time after midnight, woke at 2am to pee, went straight back to sleep but strangely woke again at 4am and couldn’t get back to sleep.

No idea 😳

Laying in bed with my eyes closed for two hours didn’t work and all I did was wonder why I wasn’t falling asleep. By the time I had to get up for my coffee date, I was exhausted!

It was tough going. I struggled big time to get out of bed and almost cancelled my date.

As it was, I arrived late and with only three of us there, just over an hour later, we all left when one had to go to work.

I picked up a parcel at the post office, came home to play trivia for an hour, made fried rice with fish for lunch, watched an interesting Al Pacino movie then fell asleep watching my quiz shows.

Adoring Husband cooked some bangers on the barbecue and I did mashed sweet potato and Dutch cream potato, beans, carrot and home made gravy for dinner.

We played more trivia.

Watched The Block.

Came to bed at 10pm and now as it approaches midnight, I feel that I will sleep soundly tonight!



Nite all.
