Physical

Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/sunday-poser/ Before Amazon, we would have to go to a physical shop. It helped with spending habits because you had time to think about what you were buying. Although, as https://jimadamsauthordotcom.wordpress.com/author/newepicauthor/ said, credit cards make it too easy to spend. I don’t have them anymore; hopefully learnt my lesson. If I am withoutContinue reading “Physical”

Shares

Written for https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/2025/03/03/share-your-world-3rd-march-2025/ 1. Which of the following could you NOT do without?Automatic washing machine, TV/cable, Microwave oven. Washing machine because it would be impossible to keep going to the laundromat to wash clothes. I would write more if there weren’t cable, and it doesn’t take long to cook in an oven. 2. Which wouldContinue reading “Shares”

Outburst

Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/sunday-poser/ I don’t lose my temper often and often keep my feelings under control. An outburst of anger always ends in me crying. Apologising is the best way; although talking through why I got angry helps too. At home, and at work, it takes a lot for me to be annoyed, but whenContinue reading “Outburst”

Out at Night

Written in response to https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/2025/02/17/share-your-world-17th-february-2025/ A cat, they live the life of luxury, get fed, have lots of cuddles. They also get to go out at night, and meet up with all their feline friends. Curtains because they are easier to clean. We both drive, although I use it slightly more than he does. IContinue reading “Out at Night”

Coffee

Written for me https://wordofthedaychallenge.wordpress.com/category/word-of-the-day/ Cranky; me, never. Well, apart from when I don’t have my morning coffee or breakfast. Not that I am allowed that much caffeine since finding out my blood pressure was high. I always said to my husband about consuming energy drinks was dangerous, but didn’t realise my actions posed the sameContinue reading “Coffee”

Book Club

Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/what-do-you-see/ Book club meets every month, and the Facebook post intrigued me. Concentrating on my novel; to write a synopsis is like flying without a parachute. How do you write an entire story on a single page? I finished (nearly) on Sunday. Now for the cover letter. Help! It was easy to makeContinue reading “Book Club”

Fear?

Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/sunday-poser/ I’m not sure if it is anxiety, but the one disease I am frightened of is cancer. Many of my family have died because of it. When my bowels acted weirdly, I went to the doctor. Doctors ran every conceivable test. It was only irritable bowel syndrome. Not a nice thing toContinue reading “Fear?”

Different

Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/sunday-poser/ I think my only regret is not telling my parents about being bullied. Eight-year-old me was worried, if I shared the truth of being called names, then things would become more serious. Of course, as an adult I know different. The only way it ends is to make home and school aware.Continue reading “Different”

Cleaner

Written for https://lindaghill.com/2024/11/22/the-friday-reminder-and-prompt-for-socs-nov-23-2024/ Sometimes, in conversation, people say I am just a cleaner when talking about their minimal wage jobs. Like it is insignificant against being an accountant, pilot or a teacher. I disagree. If they couldn’t make things shine, we would work in a different space. My mum and mother-in-law, who worked part time,Continue reading “Cleaner”
