Some updates

[popkin16]

My dad's side of the family is visiting from out of state. They usually only come up about once a year - if that - so all week, on my days off, I've been staying out until 11pm to visit with family. The lack of downtime and naps has me feeling tired constantly, so I haven't been doing much fandom stuff lately other than reading. I haven't written anything, or beta'd anything, because I just cannot brain when I get home lol. But everyone is leaving Saturday/Sunday, so after that things will be settling into their normal routine. I took yesterday - Thursday - off because my one uncle was only going to be here Thursday and Friday, and I work both those days. It's going to make money ridiculously tight at the end of the month, but it was worth it. I haven't seen him in three years.

Other than reading, I've been listening to podcasts. I just finished Limetown and LOVED it. Fascinating and at times creepy, it pulled me in until all I could think about was listening to the next episode. I have a huge list of podcasts I want to listen to, some of them quite long, so I have plenty to choose from. I think if I ever do get caught up on my podcasts, I'm going to listen to more podfics. My life could always use more John & Rodney~

My birthday is coming up - the 23rd. I'm going to be 28. It's super weird to think that I'm approaching 30 - I still feel like I'm 23, and I have to actually do the math in my head before I'm like, "Oh yeah." Where the hell is this year going?

The whole age-weird thing has been happening to me more and more lately. I keep having these backtrack moments where I say 22 or 23 internally before arriving at 26. Honestly that hadn't happened a lot prior to now, even though I used to get far more upset about aging.

I honestly wish I knew how to read as much as you do so good on you for doing that.

YEAH. The same thing keeps happening to me. And then I'm startled to realize just what age I am lol.

It helps if you have no life at all and you just read in all your free time.

With my free time I just sleep weird hours and make my parents mad by sleeping and staying out of trouble.

I sleep a lot too - I'm a night owl so I'm up all night, sleep all day - and then I take a nap too lol I'm lucky in that my parents support me though~

There are times when I think I'm still in my twenties and then I remember I'm in my forties. In moments like that it freaks me a bit when I realize that I have a twenty-two year old daughter. Time (and age) is weird.

It's good to know that your brain tricking you into thinking you're younger than you are is a thing that never stops lol

It MUST be weird to have a kid and then realize they're the same age your brain insists you are!

I feel the same! ( also just turned 28) this year has sped by

Where is the time going, man?

Happy belated birthday!

You'll still (according to my mother) feel about 23 in your head when you're approaching 93...

LOL Good to know that this is going to stick with me for a long time!
