Age Challenged rQQzy: What’s New?

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’s New?

Nothing is new.

My garden is growing well and I still haven’t taken a photo - must do that tomorrow!

Harley is still perfect.

The weather is hot with intermittent showers, and apparently will get wetter as the week goes on.

I’ve not done anything productive, other than cooking meals.

Distractions like online games, YouTube videos, catching up on Australian Idol, Netflix movies etc have helped the hours pass.

I have a list of jobs that need doing around the house but am struggling to find the energy, motivation and strength to do any of them. I’ll get there eventually. If I want them done properly, I have to do them myself - I have left those jobs in other people’s hand for years now and quite frankly, it’s farcical.

No meditation this morning because The Gypsy was not well.

Now I think I shall curl up for sleep.
