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!!

Rested and Relaxed

Adoring Husband worked for the first half of today.

I got up late - after 9am - made breakfast for BGWLBH and played with Harley.

I made Canadian pancakes for myself - pancakes, bacon, fried banana and maple syrup.

Finally, I sat down to finish watching Cobra Kai.

I selected the Adam Sandler movie “Hustle” from Netflix, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Two games of footy to watch.

Disappointing that Wests Tigers spoiled my perfect round for the tipping. I got 28 points instead of 36. Not happy Jan - especially because I’ve been supporting Tigers all year and they disappointed me more often than not. Just when I needed them to lose, they bloody won!!!

😩 

I napped on the couch during the last footy game but it made me feel lethargic and weak and I struggled to get up and cook dinner.

I did duck breast with spicy orange sauce, boiled potato in their jackets, zucchini, carrot and green beans.

We chose to watch the Logies tonight and it hasn’t been too bad, but it’s already gone 20 minutes over time and they still have a lot of Logies to present yet.

I think it’s time for me to sleep.




Nite all.
