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!!

More Days of Nothing

Nothing has happened in the last two days.

Most of Sunday was spent in bed.

I started to watch YouTube videos on vintage patchworking denim jeans and then I got distracted and sat in the lounge chair in my art room for over an hour until the football started.

That’s when I retreated to my room for the remainder of the day.

I only ate 2 pieces of toast all day, with my market bought lime butter and mulberry jam.

I received a phone call from Number One Son and we chatted for an hour.

I had slept for a solid 8 hours on Saturday night and then again on Sunday night. Surprisingly I know!

On Monday, I crumbed and cooked all the whiting fillets that I’d bought on Saturday, as well as 8 prawn cutlets, then shared them with Adoring Husband for lunch.

We watched a few YouTube videos on golfing until my quiz shows came on.

I rested for an hour before cooking crumbed chicken (that’s a lot of crumb in one day!) with wombok salad and garden salad for dinner. I only had a pear, which was delicious.

I did a rough sketch of how I’ll patch my old jeans …

Now I’m ready to curl up and fall asleep before 11pm because I have meditation early tomorrow morning.


Nite all.
