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!!

Feeling Icky

Today has been an ‘ick’ day.

Feeling a bit lost.

Low motivation.

No energy.

Lost my mojo.

Lack of purpose.

A bit of emotional numbness.

I probably should have done something other than sit on the couch watching MasterChef recordings all day. 

I should have done something to get the blood circulating.

Plenty of ‘I should haves’.

Let me change that to - I did exactly what I needed to do, to get through the day, and that’s ok.

I cooked a quick and flavourless spaghetti bolognese for dinner, but I didn’t eat any of it so I can’t be sure how crap it was. I had spent a couple of hours in bed and really wasn’t keen to cook so I just chucked stuff in the pan. 

My Vegan Chickie messaged me for Mothers Day and I received a phone call from Number One Son in Perth.

Bubbles says that she loves me EVERY day and doesn’t need a Mother’s Day to tell me so haha.

I received a lovely message from Lady Lynn wishing me a happy day.

Maybe that’s what was wrong with me! Nothing different happened for me on Mother’s Day (except for receiving Lady Lynn’s message). I still cooked breakfast. I still cooked dinner. Blah blah blah.

Anyway, the day is over and now I’m going to sleep.








Nite all.
