Greetings and Salutations dear Reader!
I hope this blog finds you well. Yes, I know, you’re waiting for #HublanderPart3 but- I plan to write the final installment of that tomorrow while Hubby goes out and does all the things.
By the title of this blog, you must’ve figured out by now that there has been a little bit of celebratory shenanigans coupled with a side of Adulting ( Yuk!)
When it comes to the month of May ( That’s enough from you Justin Timberlake! We be know your meme!) everything happens all at once.
*Hubbys Birthday
*My Birthday
*Other family members birthdays
*Mothers Day
*Car Registration
*Chasing up invoices and service agreements for the NDIS – that kinda thing. It’s a very busy month
To start with, my Husband turned 50. ( That’s half a Century for those playing at home) It was a very quiet affair- just him and I and the kittens. I got him a few dinky gifts and a pair of homemade bunny slippers .. .which I’m happy to report, he loves.
I got him a Black Forest Cherry cake and we partook of that till it was all gone.
Next, it was my turn. I turned the ripe old age of 47. I celebrated by having my uterus turn against me and let me know it was not going to play Happy Birthday without a musical cheese grater or two – so that was nice. I also continued the tradition of scones w/ jam and cream and a can of Irn Bru.
Hubby got me a beautiful Dragonfly charm for my charm bracelet – which I love. I got an Outlander t shirt from my Support Worker Miss C and a $50 gift card for Typo from my support worker Miss B. My Dad also gave me some spending money – but I think I might save it for a rainy day instead.
Again, a quiet day spent at home. Nothing crazy. Spent it eating a 6-pack of Chicken Nuggets from McDonalds and a caramel Sundae while watching the latest Jimmy Carr Special on Netflix
Right then, now the adulting.
Like most people, I despise adulting .. but also, like most people, I know it has to be done.
Naturally, I paid rent, paid Hubby’s registration and threw money at other things that needed paying off but…the most adulting thing of all was that I found out I had severe Osteoarthritis of the right hip ( to the point of bone on bone) and it doesn’t look good. I have been referred to an Orthopedic Surgeon and have an appointment lined up in June to see what my options are. In the meantime, I have to do everything I can to lose weight and strengthen the muscles around the hip area. Especially my glutes. According to the CT report – two of my glute muscles have atrophied and are currently useless – so I have to work on that.
I have to admit that the idea of surgery terrifies me. The last time I had surgery I was 18 and it was to have bunions removed. But yeah, Hip surgery is a whole new level of “I fucked around and now I have to find out” and I am not OK.
Finally, my Hubby and I celebrated our 27th year of us back on April 25th, 2024. I know, it sounds dorky but we think it’s kinda cute and so, along with our Wedding Anniversary, we celebrate the milestone that is us – happy in the knowledge that, despite getting older, grayer and more cynical as each year passes – we can still agree we don’t suck!
Thanks for reading,
