Age Challenged rQQzy: Life Goes On

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!!

Life Goes On

Monday was a day in The Bay.

Nana’s Pantry, Office Works, Rivers, Big W, Newsagent, Butcher x 2, Farm Gate, Coles, Bakery and Su Jus.

It was Adoring Husband’s turn to cook dinner and he decided to barbecue our choices of protein and serve with salads. When it was too late to do anything about it, he realised that he had forgotten MY protein.

😡

So I had to make my own dinner while fuming mad and as a just punishment, I refused to play trivia.

I got to bed just in time to watch the tennis at the olympics - Djokovic vs Nadal - it was an easy win for Djokovic, even with the crowd strongly supporting Nadal.

So I was a bit late getting to sleep and had to rise early for meditation this morning.

Thank goodness AH turned on our heating (for just the 2nd time in 16 yrs) because it was 3°C and I was struggling to get out from under my warm covers.

Heart of Gold picked me up so that we didn’t have to ride our bikes in the icy cold weather.

Meditation was great - I’ve missed the last 3 weeks because of my health and then The Gypsy’s health - so I really enjoyed today.

I returned home early because everybody else had somewhere to be and I made myself some tea and breakfast and sat down to catch up with the overnight Olympics results.

BGWLBH did our ironing while AH put some stain on the Bali hut posts.

I posted some important packages and AH bought me some flowers.

My turn to cook dinner and I attempted a recipe that BGWLBH had found online. Chicken with Spinach and Mushrooms in Creamy Parmesan Sauce. I wasn’t fussed on it but the other two enjoyed it.

We played some trivia tonight before settling in for some Olympic viewing.

Now I’m pretty weary and the temperature is dropping so it’s time to snuggle under the covers and get warm.
