Hah. I hear you on the getting older--I was reading corporette (which is like, my favorite blog these days, solely for the comments) about maternity leaves, and all the comments on 35 being a high risk pregnancy made me want to weep, knowing I'll be 34 in a couple months, and haven't even got a person I'd want to have kids with, much less the inclination to start. Stupid lack of magic youthifying serum!
meara, if you are also tired and/or having a lot of hair loss
Hmm. Possibly. I'm ALWAYS tired--it's been a thing all my life. And I felt like the weird hair loss of a while back had stopped (possibly due to stopping some drugs) but might've picked up again, so it's worth a thought. I'm mostly trying to brainstorm things to ask the doc to test for if/when I make an appointment. I"ma also get double-checked for The Dibeetus, since even though my last fasting blood sugar was fine, both my parents have it, and it's a definite consideration.

Two totally different people at work (very much unintentionally) hurt me recently when they commented that I was "far too young" to have children. I had to smile wryly and inform them that they were making incorrect assumptions about my age given that I'd been in the high risk pregnancy category for more than a year.

Wallybee was 35 when we had Ryan. I like to think of it as "high risk, high reward".
I continue to be very, very grateful that I never had kids, but part of me misses them at this point in my life. I know it's for the wrong reasons, though, because I'm missing the dream of having family around me in my old(er) age.
Hello insomnia fairy that rode in on the massive thunder storm and deluge. You can leave anytime now.
A Very Happy Birthday, Ms. Cass! I hope I look so good at 40! ;)
Sox, I hope the blissful slumbers have found their way to you.
Happy birthday,Cass! The 40s have been mostly good to me so far. I hope they treat you well, too.
