four days

I'd finally gotten around to taking some time off. Just one day though. Friday was the one I picked making the last weekend a four day one. This was just the thing I needed after skipping out on a vacation earlier this year. I spent the first two days doing something blissfully next to nothing. On the third day I called my mom to wish her a happy birthday, and then proceeded to do nothing again. On the fourth day I took a nice long drive in the country with the beagle. We went scouting for potential farms or ranches to get permission to pest hunt on. Ok, that was my reason. She was just along for the ride but enjoyed the walks we took on our stops just the same. So in between all of this I managed to cook a few choice meals, play some video games, goof off on the internet, read a book, sleep in, watch a few movies, oh and I aged another year officially. Betcha you was thinking I was a good son for remembering his mother's birthday. Nope, it's just hard to forget when you were born the day before hers. Sorry to say but I'm just a regular guy who can forget dates with the best of them. I turned forty six for anyone wondering. Forty-fucking-six! Holy shit!!! I can't tell you how much that freaks me out. It's a little weird since I don't feel like I'm that old, but I'm really not sure what it's supposed to feel like. I feel just like I did when I was in my twenties, only difference is I'm a little more seasoned now. And by seasoned I mean that at least I'm not making the same stupid mistakes I used to. Hopefully I'll have moved on to a whole new set of stupid mistakes with more in the years to come. More to come, I just needed to get this minutia off my mind.

  1. Happy Birthday Steve! And there is NO WAY I would have guessed you to be 46. My guess would have been in your early 30s:)

    1. Thanks Susan. It's an occupational hazard of the mixed genes from my parents. Neither of them look their ages either. People keep thinking they're in their 50s when they've both hit the 70s.

    The lovely Annie turned 46 this year, too, on the 13th.

    2. Happy Birthday, you are getting closer to my age all the time. Just remember, reality is for those who can't handle immaturity.
