Musings of an old dancing woman.

This is a picture of my sweet parents. I look at my mother as an old woman here. She had all her children out of the nest; had 42 grandchildren; was suffering with some health problems; and quite frankly, fit the title of "old woman."  She was 62.
I am now that old woman.  I am certainly feeling it today.  I wish I had had my grandchildren when I was a bit younger so I could take care of them without fear of getting sick. Yep, I took care of Chase, who just had a little cold and weepy eye, and came home carrying his bugs.  Old people and bugs do not mix well. I toughed it out for 5 days and finally dragged myself down to an InstaCare. Prognosis was not good.  I had a bacterial infection of conjunctivitis, sinusitis, and bronchitis. "Women your age...." DON'T SAY IT!  "This is a pretty serious infection for someone your age.  I am giving you an anti-biotic, cough syrup, and some eye drops. Drink plenty of liquids and get plenty of rest and it should all clear up in a couple of weeks."
Did he just say weeks?!? Yes, that is exactly what he said.  I am actually going to have to go to bed and be sick! Charlie is hating every minute of it.  I send him golfing everyday so he doesn't have to take care of me. (Just leave me alone. I need rest.) He has enjoyed that but we are both getting pretty tired of me being sick.
Thankfully the Big Dance is on TV!  I have watched more basketball this week than I have in years....and it's only down to the Sweet 16!!  I even cheered for Utah!!  They will meet Duke (#1 seed) next Friday night.  If I am not feeling better by then...................... I hate being old.
Looking on the bright side - besides dancing... I didn't have to get up early to go to church today.
Another perk of old age is make-up.  I have discovered that I look much better just smiling than using make-up. I use WAY LESS make-up and smile a lot more. :)
That is all...I have more basketball to watch.
