I have always been called an "old soul". I've never denied this claim, as I feel as it's correct assessment of my character. However, I've really felt OLD-er the last few weeks. I've been cleaning and finding a lot of photos of me from 5, 10, even 20 years ago. I brought a few pics into work this week from me attending Sakura-Con back 2003 or 2004. Hmm...ok, I guess I had told everyone it was only 4 years ago, more like 5 or 6. Regardless, the hospital manager looked at them as said "Wow! You were so young! This can't be only 4 years ago.". Earlier today, D (another receptionist) was looking at the top of my head and pointing out several gray hairs I had acquired. Then a client I know well was mentioning my birthday next month and I realized I'm going to be 26. Finally, it hit me that I haven't had someone tell me "You don't look ___ years old" in at least 2 years. OMG! I AM OLD!
By the time I got home this evening, I felt like I should be drinking a glass of prune juice and watching C-Span until I passed out in my chair.
I need to find some fun, or I'm destined to check myself into an assisted living facility before 30!
Things I do to feel young:
- Drive just for the sake of driving
- Laugh at fart jokes (any Molly farting at work)
- Push/Ride on shopping carts through parking lots
- Play kid-focused video games
- Laughing at stupid internet videos
- Eating dessert first (sometimes)
