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!!

What Happened?

I don't know what happened to today!

It was another late start for me because I didn't get out of bed until after 9am but before I even put my feet on the ground, I'd made a ZOOM date with The Gypsy for 10.30am.

This meant that I had about 75 minutes to get dressed, make my bed, make my tea, play with Harley, make some breakfast, add the ZOOM app to my new laptop and get comfortable for at least a 2 hour meeting.

Turned out to be a 3 hour chat but we resolved and achieved a lot in that time.

I find it amazing that we still find so much to talk about, but at the moment, separately, we have new projects that we have just begun so we compare notes, keep each other up to date with progress and provide encouragement and support.

At 1.30pm we said our goodbyes but I stayed on my bed and spent time on the new laptop learning stuff that I didn't know!

Adoring Husband knocked on my door at 3.45pm and I can't even remember why - maybe to see if I was going to take Harley for his afternoon play.

So I finally got up, played with Harley until 4.30pm and came inside to cook dinner.

Barramundi steaks, garden salad, baked potatoes in their jackets with sour cream and coleslaw.

Sunday night MAFS.

That's my day ... suddenly over ... and nothing to show for it!

It's after 10pm and I'm feeling quite weary so sleep time for me.





Nite all.
