Birthday girl

Today is my 66th birthday and that is so hard to believe. Where have the years gone? Hubby said to me yesterday I am still that cuddly young girl he married. Bless! I have made him an emergency appointment with Specsavers!!
I don't feel my age, I don't act my age. Then again there isn't a stereotype for age any more. I find it impossible to age people these days . I compare them with me I suppose but always get it wrong.

I am coming towards the end of my first week away from Cruse. I can't believe how happy I feel. I can't believe how little I miss it. I can't believe how easy it has been to switch off. Until tonight, when I have struggled to sleep, I have been really relaxed.
Today I am spending the day with my baby girl. We are having a spa day. It has been a couple of months since Julie's  birthday when we last spent time together. Lots to catch up on.

I am coping with being at home with Phil. I forget sometimes that he has a problem but have been reminded this last week. I have made it clear though that I will not get stressed out with him. If he has one of his "moods" then I will just busy myself in my craft room until he comes around. I am also not going to get stressed out about any of the kids. Unless they ask for help I will just be here in the background. They have their lives to lead and don't need me to fuss.

I am praying that I can afford to stay at home and won't need to find a job. I think that will be up to me to budget well enough!! I am enjoying the freedom so much right now.
It is now 5 am and I have been awake since 2am. I need to try and nap at least. I am going to attempt my first challenge today. Can I swim? Will I sink? Maybe I can float?
