How quickly I have traveled in age. It just seems like yesterday, in my very early 40s (which really is now more than a decade ago), that I was still able to flirt with college aged men because they thought I was in my (late) 20s. And then there was a moment in my early mid-40s when I realised that the college-aged boy I was semi-flirting with was nice to me because he was humoring me like he would humor his mother. That stayed with me for a while and so I adjusted. And then now in my mid-50s, this is the year. The year I was asked if I qualified for the senior discount, if I’m retired or not, if I have time to go bowling at 10 am on Friday.
I would love to go bowling at 10 am on Friday. I will make a good retired person, I think. I have already too many projects that take up my extra time. Work has been harder than usual the past few months and I think it will get better soon, we’ll see.
