37

In 5 days I will be 37.
I usually don't freak out about birthdays, but for some reason this one is looming like a vulture in a top hat.
Ever feel like where you are isn't where you imagined yourself to be ten years ago?
I mean 37. That was the age I always thought my aunts were when I was a kid and even now. Yes, they're 50 something now... but 37 always seemed so old to me.
I saw myself as having a house, a husband and a dog. Now I live in a borrowed apartment with borrowed furniture, and an ex who lives with my ex dog. Oh, and yeah, no job.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not in the feel sorry for myself mode here. It just feels like time's flying by.
Yeah, I shouldn't complain about being 37. It's just a number. I've got my health, my life...
This weirdness is just a hitch, a speed bump, intermission... life will go on after it's done.
