My moment is when I noticed that I appeared to be growing a tiny mustache.

Soon after my doctor put me on a statin.

Then my shoulder stopped working.

Most recently asking myself why they remade Presumed Innocent so soon after the original, then reading: “Presumed Innocent is a 1990 American legal thriller film based on the 1987 novel…”

After she arrived she would refer to me in "mom" terms often and clearly saw me as a mother figure. I was only 10 years older than her (she was 25, me 35) but it was shocking to realize I wasn't anything like young anymore. I was an unrelatable old mom.


Aw, you’re just a young whipper snapper to me! 😁

I’m 39. Oww my back.


I’m lying on an air mattress in the living room of our Airbnb because the bed is way too soft for me to sleep in.

And the music is way too loud! How are you supposed to have a conversation with the people you’re dining with?

I, apparently, injured myself sleeping!
Shoulder injury that took a year to heal. Since I don't really know what I did to have it happen, I don't know how to not have it happen again.

When my mom passed away suddenly at 68 I could not wrap my mind around the fact that I was more than halfway through my life if I live the same number of years she did. I felt like my life had just gotten settled and started in my 30s. I was still in the babies and early-ish career phase and all of a sudden I was faced with the reality that this could already be the downhill. Of course anyone could go at any time, but it really hit me hard that I'm not young.


<3 I am sorry
