Kat, but I keep forgetting you're my sister's age. For two responsible adults you're wildly divergent in lives.
She's doing a thing for her 40th, and I keep thinking "Am I 40? 45? Wait, this is about her...I'm so confused."
She growls?! You made her so she growls?!

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

She has a life and I'm... well... boring.

Yeah, that whole significant other and two kids is no big deal. Not a societal ideal, or anything. Nothing a parent wouldn't basically beg her children to achieve.

But fuck. It's so much more exhausting and less interesting than a doctorate, a good job and the ability to take vacation without being trailed by 5 year olds. One of whom refuses to stop being on himself.

I'm not going to get into a battle about what's more exhausting living for two people who aren't me, but that's drawing glittery hearts around my sister's life right now that really aren't there.

Oo Kat I totally support the having a party for your 40th. I was going to, and then my MiL got diagnosed with cancer, which kinda put the kibosh on my plans. So then I was going to have a 42nd birthday party, and that just fizzled out. Now I have to wait until I'm 50.

Oh, who do I have to bribe so I can have a Night Circus -themed birthday party?
Sometimes, when I'm trying to drift off to sleep, I amuse myself by making up tents for the circus.
