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!!

Ending the Week

After a cup of tea and a Harley play, I wrapped Chicklet's birthday present and made myself presentable for a drive into The Bay with BGWLBH.

I had a list.

Butcher, baker, supermarket, fresh seafood, fresh fruit and veg, newsagent, Su Jus and a few shops to browse through as well.

The weather was quite reasonable - considering how hot and muggy it's been - today was bearable.

There were no idiots on the road, for a change.

We arrived home by 2pm and my main mission was to find the charging cord for my old 2009 computer, where I thought my book was saved. 

I wrote a small book, actually, it was more of a guide than a book, in 2016 and I want to re-edit it, add some more information and photos to change it from a 'guide' to a 'book'.

My plan is to sell it on Amazon accompanied by 2 diaries, a journal, a planner and a deck of affirmation cards.

That's my goal for the year of 2025.

Anyway, Adoring Husband and I spent a LOT of time searching for this cord and eventually found it in a storage box in a wardrobe in one of the back bedrooms.

I plugged it in and charged it enough to start searching.

Amazingly, I remembered the password to log in!! I spent a good 20 minutes diving deep into the files and poring through the hundreds of files from all those years ago.

I found lots of interesting things but absolutely no sign of the book.

Ugh! 😩

So I unplugged it and went back to my other, less old, laptop. Why didn't I check there first? Because I was certain it was in the original Apple Mac!

Lo and behold, there was my book. Three copies of it!

Now I'm excited to get cracking and put my plan in motion. I'm not going to rush. I'm going to take my time and let everything flow naturally without stress or anxiety.

AH cooked the usual fare of chicken wings for dinner and we are watching the first NRL preseason game between Sharks and Warriors. Sadly for AH, Warriors are winning 12-6 with 20 minutes to go.

I am ready for bed. It's been a busy day.






Nite all.
