Age Challenged rQQzy: Productive

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!!

Productive

Adoring Husband was VERY productive today laying new lawn in front of the concrete slab.

He miscalculated and didn’t order enough so there’ll be another trip to the lawn guy on Thursday.

I spent the morning washing windows. They only get done once a year and I really didn’t pick a good day because the neighbour is installing a pool and they started digging the hole today!

What a pain in the butt!

After the manual labour, I watched a few episodes of the new Portrait Artist of the Year series. I’m feeling inspired again but don’t have the skills to do portraits. Perhaps YouTube will be able to help me.

Tomorrow I’m off to have my eyesight tested. It’s been 5 years since my last test so I’m a bit overdue.

Harley has had plenty of play time today but he is sound asleep right now.

It’s approaching midnight so I’d best sign off and get some sleep.
