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!!

Bad Crab

On Tuesday I enjoyed the crab meat that I purchased on Monday.

On Wednesday I purged said crab.

I knew my illness was food related this time because I had all the yuk symptoms like stomach cramps, temperature, cold and clammy one minute, hot and shaky the next, waves of nausea, acid reflux and I couldn’t get comfortable in my bed.

It was very unpleasant because I couldn’t leave my bed to reach the loo so I had to purge into plastic bags. Lucky it wasn’t both ends or I’d have been in real trouble!

Needless to say, I have been in my bed all day (it started at 3am) and it was probably 1pm when the discomfort left me and I could snuggle down into a sleeping position.

Adoring Husband did the cleaning - luckily the messiest shop owners were not in attendance today, so the work required minimal effort.

Now, the State of Origin football is about to start so I’m going to get comfortable and watch it from my bed.






Nite all.
