Age Challenged rQQzy: Bay Day

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!!

Bay Day

It was so good to get back to meditation today.

I've missed the last three sessions and I enjoyed this morning even though I had to leave ten minutes early.

BGWLBH and I drove into The Bay with an extensive 'to do' list.

There was nothing showing on the BOM but the skies over The Bay were dark and threatening all day. After 10am, not a drop of rain was seen or felt, so I don't know what those black clouds were doing there.

We discovered that the nail salon had reopened after the floods, so we stopped to make an appointment for Thursday. They were completely booked out but squeezed BGWLBH in because she's a regular.

All the other 'usual' shops were visited as well as Nana's Pantry where the sales lady asked after Adoring Husband (as she does every time I go into that shop) and told me how amazing he looked that last time she saw him.

I told her that he's still a pain in the a___ and she replied "Well they all are. haha."

It was a big day and it took almost an hour to unpack everything and find a home for it all.

Just enough time to play with Harley and then make a quick dinner.

BGWLBH had leftovers from last night and I added a garden salad an some boiled buttered potato.

AH had a salad roll and I had a fresh bread roll with avocado and prawns.

BGWLBH and I played a couple of games of Sequence and then we all sat down and played trivia on the smart TV.

Number One Son called tonight telling me that he had moved two weeks ago, his job is going well but he is enrolling in Medical School to become a psychiatrist. By the time he completely finishes his planned studies, he will be 50 yrs old.

I told him that's ok - he should still have another 50 yrs to work after that.

Our toilet is fixed. It had a blockage.

Now it's time for me to sleep.
