says it all, really

on the eve of my 38th birthday, i stop at the grocery store for beer and curry paste. as i place my items on the counter, the clerk eyes me and says, "can i see some ID please?"

i manage a hollow laugh.

"just kidding!" he says, and scans the beer.

i was going to post a long, angst-filled screed about how i'm only two years from going my entire 30s without having sex, but after that, i don't think i really need to.

After two weeks of unseasonably warm weather, it started getting chilly over the weekend and finally turned ccoolldd last night. As if the weather wanted to make sure I remembered your birthday by reminding me of driving people home on sheet-ice covered streets after your birthday party so long ago. *Hugs*
