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!!

Sleepless in The Heads

Another night of Harley banging and crashing his big plastic cone against the metal walls of his cage bed.

Very little sleep for me.

I feel that today he has learnt that his personal space is much bigger and there has been less running into walls and doorways now. Hopefully that will translate to the bed cage and there will be less banging there too.

It has been hard work attempting to keep Harley calm and relaxed.

When he heard BGWLBH arrive home in the car this afternoon, he jumped over the wall of his cage! He’s never done that before and I’m surprised he didn’t damage his wound! 

A couple of times when I took him outside for toileting, he got the zoomies and was tearing around the yard like a mad thing, so he’s obviously not feeling any tenderness or pain.

In fact, he’s pretty relaxed!


I dozed a little on the couch trying to catch up on lost sleep, but I wasn’t very successful.

Now it’s 10pm and I’m yawning uncontrollably so that’s my cue to turn off the light and get some shut eye while I can.



Nite all.
