I'll be 40! Good lord. I am about to have a When Harry Met Sally moment and not the good one.
We're still working on a plan, but so far it involves being sent to prison and becoming somebody's bitch.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Also, in 5 years I'll be 38. Ugh.
I'll be 40!
EAT IT, both of you.

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

Ha. This is the moment where we old people¹ chime in and say things like ... 5 years??? 9 months!
I don't know where I want to be in five years, period. It scares me, and has always been my weakness. By "it" I mean the future.

Hmph.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Also, in 5 years I'll be 38. Ugh.
What-EV. I'll be 38 in a hair under 4 months.
My evaluations are fairly painless (though pointless, as nobody in admin or clerical on the university side has gotten a raise in 3-4 years). The only stressy thing is that my boss keeps wanting me to take accounting classes. I would rather push rusty nails through my lower lip.

You know what? I don't think I ever knew your exact age before, msbelle. Funny.
The numbers don't get me. Except when they are funny and cliches that I don't really buy into happen. How quickly I can burn through a decade, now that can alarm me....

It's like a cascade of curmudgeonness.
I, for the record, don't mind being about to be 38. Except for the part where it terrifies me that I haven't done enough yet. But I've (honestly) been feeling that way since I was ten, so I'm thousands of dollars of therapy away from not having that panic.

I will not EAT IT!
You people can express dismay at whatever age you'll be, too. In my pea-sized brain I am (depending on the day) either 22 or 30.
