I don’t FEEL that old, though.
The only time I do feel thirty is after sport. No more sore muscles, but sore knees and ankles instead.
I’m off to buy a zimmer frame.
YOU’RE NOT THAT OLD. You’re not even middle-aged yet. Honestly, 30 to 32 was my physical prime. Not 17, not 24, but 31. I didn’t start feeling tne decline until I was about 35. I’ll tell ya about 40 in a couple years.
Happy (belated) Birthday.
Well, this birthday was not that great.
Got about 4 hours sleep, then had to drive my parents 60 miles to a doctor’s appointment.
Returned, waited for the girl I have been dating to come by after she got out of Astronomy class. She comes over, I give her a basic guitar lesson (she was given one she wants to learn to play). Then a friend of mine, who was going to help me tow my old car to my new place later that night, needed a ride from the car dealership, where he dropped off an ailing SUV. Can’t really say no, so we go get him when he calls, decide he can come to dinner with us.
Eat some vindaloo, drink Indian beer, then head to Wal-Mart to get something to pull my old car with. At this point I’ve noticed that the girl has withdrawn when I attempted to kiss her. She acted like this the last night we went out as well, I thought maybe the last time it might have been a test or something since we had had sex earlier that week for the first time (which I thought went rather well, all things considered), maybe she was checking to see if I would act like I expected it now. Two nights was enough for me to ask her what was up, figured things are probably screwed now anyway and they won’t get any worse by my attempting to understand the state of our relationship and the reason for the de-escalation of intimacy.
She doesn’t want to tell me why but does want us to remain friends.
They always want to be friends.
Now I feel like part of me is in pain and wants to cry, but that part is stuffed down inside myself, like something heavy squirming in my stomach.
But maybe it’s the vindaloo.
Happy Birthday, Bane of the Pseudo-Australian.
Well. Um. Does happy birthday not work then?
Happy Birthday anyway…
Did you do all the things on that list?
What list?
Well no age is good if all that stuff happens to you!
Seriously, you’re not old…I past that mile marker two years ago and I still feel mentally 16, physically…well not 16 buy not old!
