Age Challenged rQQzy: Power Out

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!!

Power Out

In case I haven’t mentioned it, the French Open tennis started on Sunday.

There is limited coverage on 9Gem, otherwise all the matches are available to view on Stan Sport. I recently cancelled my Stan Sport subscription because I only use it 3 times each year and it was costing $17 per month.

Now I’m torn. I wonder if I can subscribe for just one month? I will investigate further.

Because there was a power outage from 8.30am - 1.30pm today, BGWLBH and I escaped into The Bay.

There was a very bad traffic accident between a ute and a cement truck on the road into town, so we were redirected through the industrial area. The road was blocked for a good 6-7 hours and I know that the ute driver was trapped in his vehicle for quite some time. I hope he’ll be ok.

I cooked honey/soy chicken breast with crushed potato and mixed veg for dinner.

Adoring Husband is off to Bargara to play golf tomorrow.

I’ve decided to not attend the Burrum Babes luncheon tomorrow. I know I won’t feel comfortable or be able to enjoy myself because of some others who will be in attendance.

I’m going to be kind to myself and make the right decision for me.

The right decision for me now, is to sleep.
