Well,
today’s the day. I am officially in my 40’s. That sounds weird to say, probably
because I’ve been saying that I’m in my 30’s for the past decade. Besides that,
I’m okay with the number. I’m not having a sudden mid-life crisis because I’ve
realized I’m now officially middle aged. However, if I decide I want to have
one later, I reserve the right to do so. In fact, I probably need to shake things
up a little so perhaps I should start planning my crisis now…I’m sure most
people don’t plan their mid-life crises in advance, but even four decades of
living have not been able to shake the OCD out of me.
While
being 40 may not weird me out, having a child who is very nearly as tall as I
am does weird me out. My children are
indisputable proof of the passage of time.
