Gosh, I really feel old. It really feels like an eternity when I turned 40. Middle of covid, feeling like I had officially reached middle age status. Now, three years later, I feel middle aged both mentally, and physically. October growing up was always a fun month. There were always so many birthday celebrations. Aunties, uncles, cousins, mine included.
This year it's been a bit of an odd birthday. Minimal fanfare, no issues with that. Received some nice birthday messages, which I love. Although the idea of having "Happy Birthday" blasted in a group chat still feels awkward. This year, our corporate Bloomberg Square Mile, happened to fall on the 9th. We fielded a strong team which finished a competitive 11th. Annoyingly, I fell short of the sub-6 minute mark, again. 6:04, slowly getting there.
Although, admittedly my mind was elsewhere. I have had a sore toorth a couple of days since returning from Singapore and today decided to see the dentist for further investigation. The consult resulted in me getting a temporary crown while we wait for further news. Nothing screams old age like the gentle deterioration of the body. Things, parts, bits that have been part of me for almost my whole life are now slowly starting to break down and require attention. It's an indirect way of age showing, time really is passing us by.
Happy Birthday!
