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!!

Mindless Monday

The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate. ~Noam Chomsky

Harley behaved very strangely today. 

This morning, he voluntarily stopped playing after 25 minutes and sat beside me on the outdoor lounge. He NEVER does that. He plays until he drops!

This afternoon, he voluntarily stopped after 20 minutes!

All day, he barely left my side and was overly cuddly and affectionate.

Odd behaviour.

I watched a couple of fluffy romance movies during the day.

Sorted out our power bill with Adoring Husband. $590 for one month!!! We’ve even had our solar panels checked and cleaned. 

Ergon have checked it. The solar company have checked it. An electrician has checked it. An X-Solar panel worker has checked it. The ombudsman has checked it. They all claim that the panels are working perfectly.

Whatever.

I cooked fried rice to accompany the lamb loin chops that AH cooked on the barbecue.

MAFS tonight!

Now it’s time to sleep. Meditation tomorrow.




Nite all.
