What I should be doing right now:
adding and subtracting numbers
writing numbers down in a book
punching numbers into a calculator.
thinking about numbers for the future.
What I am doing right now?
Reading other people's blogs, eating peanuts, thinking about my next meal, staring off into space...My mind is a complete blank and I feel like a slug.
I've had a throat full of razor blades for the past week and just basically felt like a bag of poop. I'm all better now except for the fact that there is real work to do in my official capacity as
The only reason I'm even doing this blog post is so that I can avoid writing numbers down.
I'm 40 now. I expected this kind of immature behavior to disappear when I hit such an adult sounding number.
I'm not one of those people that see those 0 ending birthdays as a super big deal. It just sounds so...responsible, like I should be running a corporation or building a spaceship or something. Oh well. I can't get too worked up about it, I have to spend my energy avoiding the calculator.
What does it mean? I don't know but I didn't have the energy to take a new picture. This is what 40 looks like when you can't build spaceships. Get over it. |
All I could come up with is one word for 40 and beyond - stablize!
ReplyDeleteStable?!?!! me? the dictionary says: SANE and SENSIBLE, NOT EASILY UPSET OR DISTURBED...surprisingly, my picture is NOT next to this description!
