Age Challenged rQQzy: Sickly Sweets

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!!

Sickly Sweets

Last week, I stupidly bought lollies from the Christmas shop.

They are full of preservatives and colours and additives and sugar and have made me feel very unwell.

I ate them two nights in a row. The first night and following day, I felt a bit ‘off’ but the second night really did me in so last night and today have been torturous! The pain in my stomach and intestines has been so uncomfortable that I’m throwing these giant, expensive bags of toxic poison in the bin.

Ugh 🤢

Today, I spent a lot of time in bed or lying down trying to find a comfortable position to ease the pain.

Harley got to have a long swim. He swam round and round for about 20 minutes. He just loves the water.

I watched some tennis, napped on the couch and found enough energy to cook dinner for Adoring Husband and BGWLBH.

Now it’s time for me to sleep the residual pain away.
