Age Challenged rQQzy: Sunday of Rest

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!!

Sunday of Rest

Today is Vegan Chickie's 45th birthday!

Crikey!

I sent her a video just after midnight of me singing happy birthday and this evening we had a FaceTime call for about 15 minutes.

She was enjoying home made cake and a movie with Mr Perfect.

I received a voicemail from my favourite Auntie this morning wishing me (her favourite niece) a happy birthday, then about 30 minutes later a text apologising for being a month early haha. She said she will call again in a month.

Today, I did nothing of value. I watched Netflix movies and the footy.

I only picked one game incorrectly this week so 7 out of 8 put me on top of the tipping ladder!

I'm bragging about it here because it may be my only chance!

It was nice to take the extra lasagne that I prepared last week from the freezer and all I had to do was prepare a nice garden salad to go with it. I got to watch the footy instead of cooking.

The weather was quite glorious, though we still need the air conditioner.

I did not finish my course today - low motivation.

I will do some of it now, before sleeping, and perhaps I will feel motivated to finish it tomorrow.
