All year I've been thinking I should do something special to mark today. 60 seemed so significant. But the more I thought about it, the more I didn't want to do anything extraordinary. That's not depression or anything negative talking. It just doesn't seem like that big a deal to me now that it's here.
I'm going to treat myeself to a steak on the grill and a trip to my Mom's house so I can swim in the pool, but I'm just not excited about doing anything extra special.
Wjhen I was younger I would think older relatives who said birthdays were no big thing were being poops. Now I know what they mean. It doesn't feel like that big a deal. Don't get me wrong. I love people wishing me happy birthday. I like getting presents, but it's not a big deal.

Wait, does that mean yr mom is still around? Lucky u if so. Well I m going to to wish you a happy bday anyhow, and trust me, I already know what you mean. Quit celebrating my birthdays back when I came to terms with the fact that every damn bday I would be in full scale PMS mode. End of the month bday, end of the month bleeding, equals end of the month NO CELEBRATION pour moi. So since the age of 16 or 17 I gave up on birthdays. Screw mother nature she's a real *****, although mostly I blame God for being the jerk that started it.
