Top Ten Things I’ve Been Doing Since I Turned 30
Only eleven days ago, I turned 30. 30 is a magical age where you don’t quite fit in with people who are 40 and you don’t quite want to fit in with people who are 20. It’s awkward and should not be wished on anyone, ever.
Still, it’s not all bleak. There are benefits to everything under the sun. Well, almost everything. No one likes a sweaty handshake. There is no upside to that. Being 30 isn’t quite a sweaty handshake, but it’s not awesome, either. Here are ten things that I’ve been doing since I turned 30.
- Bought a peacoat and tweed fedora. When I go out, I look like your grandpa, but when I take off my coat and hat, I look like a slob. It’s great camouflage.
- Sitting around and complaining about everyone 29 and younger.
- Contemplated own existence over cup of coffee.
- Forgotten what it’s like to be any age under 30
- Actually considered buying prunes at the grocery store (to keep me regular)
- Puttered around in my garden
- Turned down that damned noise (any music, anywhere)
- Grunted from the effort it takes to get out of chair
- Become lost in a place I’ve been to 100 times before
- Wondered what all the fuss is about
