Age Challenged rQQzy: Sleepy Sunday

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!!

Sleepy Sunday

Not THAT sleepy 🫤

I washed some clothes.

I watched a Netflix movie called “The Thursday Murder Club” starring Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, Ben Kingsley, Celia Imrie and David Tennant, among other familiar faces. I enjoyed it a lot.

I caught up on episodes of The Block that I missed during the week.

I did NOT set my alarm for the women’s tennis final, but when I naturally woke up, I turned on the TV to catch the presentation of the trophy. I was very happy that Sabalenka won.

I WILL set my alarm for 4am to watch the men’s final in the morning. I invested too much time into the last two weeks to miss that.

I watched the last round of the season for NRL. The finals begin next week! It’s both exciting and sad at the same time. I miss football in the off season.

There’s always cricket, golf, darts and tennis to partially fill the void.

I made fish bites, sweet potato and potato wedges with salad for dinner.

Now it’s almost midnight! Time to sleep!
