...this 'getting older' milarky, that I've heard/read other people talk about.
Today, for example - I am absolutely delighted because I've discovered that my wireless keyboard works all the way from my sofa!! Yeehaa. I am now sitting with my feet up, cuppa tea to my right and keyboard on my knees :) Of course I now want to see if it would work from the bath. Obviously I wouldn't be able to see the screen from there and perhaps there might be issues with water/bubbles/steam etc. Hmmm...
Reading back what I just wrote and taking on board that yesterday whilst skyping with one of my longest serving friends we ended up discussing tax...tax returns, rebates, different tax bands and codes...seriously!!! THEN, as if that wasn't bad enough I then tried to show her the rug that lies between the sofa and fire. When I bought it, it was cream...fast forward 5 years and surprisingly it was no longer cream. I borrowed a carpet cleaning machine thingy from a friend the other day and wow...the results were amazing!! I am so proud of how good it looks that not only did I try and show my mate (still via Skype) just how great the rug now looks (wasn't really possible to get the full affect with the webcam - so I'm sending her photos!!)...I am now blogging about it!! Seriously...what the hell happened?? I am beginning to worry that I will no longer pass as 28½! I had been planning on turning 29 this year but I am in danger of not being able to carry it off...
It's not just the borrowing of carpet cleaning machines and talking about tax, there are other things creeping in which I'm just not entirely comfortable with. There used to be a time where I would be really irrational and passionate. For example, back in the day I'd go off my head if I'd found out that a guy I was having a fling with turned out not to be single...recently when something similar to this happened do you know what the over-riding feeling was?? Disappointment!! Oh and the phrase 'Oh, how dull' kept going round my head!? What happened?! I don't mean, what happened with the guy - it's such a cliché that it doesn't require any analysis...actually in a way I think I've just answered my own question - I've been around too long!! Perhaps I need to seek out new experiences where I don't have a good sound (1st hand) knowledge of the reasoning behind any potential outcome. Hmmm...now there's a challenge.
I am young, I still do crazy (read: stoopid) things - I'm sure this must just be a blip - perhaps it's a January thing....now if only I could sort out this indigestion I'd be laughing all the way to the park (except it's cold and getting dark, so I'm probably not actually going to go to the park...it's really just more of a metaphor for doing something related to the young people...)
