Age Challenged rQQzy: No Go

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!!

No Go

Adoring Husband was supposed to attend a physio appointment for his shoulder today but the Parkinson’s symptoms overwhelmed him and he had to cancel.

BGWLBH spent the day in The Bay.

I cooked breakfast, played with Harley, watched Breaking Dawn Part 2, dozed on the couch while watching my quiz shows and marinated chicken wings for dinner.

Tonight, instead of finishing my dragonfly journal page, I started a new page …

… and I still didn’t come close to finishing, so now I have two I’ve gotta work on!

It took all night and a number of capsules, but by morning, my toothache was gone.

In the last ten years, I had only taken 4 Panadol. Two for a seriously painful back injury, one after I had 5 teeth removed and one last year for razor blades in my throat.

Yesterday and last night, I took eight!!!

No plans for tomorrow, except perhaps a swim in the pool. My first swim for the season.
