Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

But I have a super-cute new haircut and plans for the upcoming Avengers movie.
Excellent priorities, Calli!
Happy birthday, Owen!
Hey Nilly!
I'm sleepy and didn't want to get up this morning. But now we've got to do the morning rush around to get Matilda to school on a rainy day.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Happy birthday Owen !
I am 48 - days away from 49 . My head age is about 38. That was a good year for me in many ways .
Most of my fathers side lives til somewhere in the their 90s . Because my hair seems to be taking after that side of the family ( white by 50 ) I chose them to take after in age. Despite the diabetes and other stuff.

beth, what happened at 38? Inquiring mid-30s want to know.
Also, I have Accomplished Things. Way to go, Buffista powers! There are more Things to do. Can't rest on laurels. Someone wanna write an essay on race and another on standards-based classrooms for me? Or at least figure out how long these things are supposed to be?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My body is all kinds of fucked up at 43, and I'm definitely not capable of what I was five years ago, but it's going to take a lot longer for me to feel more middle aged than fucked up. A lot longer, note. Not a lot more.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
FFS -- I have just about had it with my boss telling me how to act. Not that she's wrong, but she just walked someone into my office unexpectedly and just introduced her by her first name. Who does that?? Eventually she got to the part about who the visitor is and why she was there, but jesus. And it was actually someone I would have loved to talk to (headhunter supposedly hiring the replacement for my counterpart who left last summer), but no, that was not in the cards.

sparky,Grace takes Singulair. Been on it daily for years. She had a terrible allergic reaction to seasonal allergies this week anyhow. But her issue was skin and not respiratory. I'd rather take skin than respiratory.

I think Middle Age started at about 34 for me, that's when I started having health issues that were internal rather than because of falls or running into things.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I'm pushing 50 (hard) and I definitely feel middle aged. Sometimes well beyond. I'm not sure when it started, but I'm definitely there.
