Age Challenged rQQzy: Much Improved

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!!

Much Improved

Today was a better day.

It’s amazing what a difference a shower and some fresh, clean clothes can make!

I was out of bed by 9am, spent time in the sunshine morning, noon and afternoon, cooked myself a poached egg on toast for breakfast and stayed up until 3pm when I returned to bed.

My head is much clearer. Less sneezing. Dry nose. Light coughing. My sense of smell has returned, as has my appetite.

I’m definitely on the up and up.

Just in time for the important tennis matches.

I’m currently watching Alcaraz vs Medvedev. Later I’ll watch Djokovic vs Musetti.

Obviously, I have nothing newsworthy

Adoring Husband and BGWLBH went for a drive out to Farm Gate this afternoon and came home overloaded with fresh fruit, vegetables, eggs and honey.

We go through approximately 2 dozen eggs per week and 1kg of honey each month.

Anyway, time to focus on the tennis.
