In The Middle

So, here I am…officially 50 years old now. (Birthday was on the 11th)

I sure as hell don’t feel like it – well, most days. Some days, I feel about 106.

I’ve actually been having a lot of health crap going on over the last few months, which doesn’t hrlp.with the “feeling old” thing, but I don’t really feel like talking about it right now, so – moving on.

Instead, I just wanted to blab.

First- I HAVE MY GRANDSON THIS WEEKEND!

Goddess, I love this little boy so much. He & my daughter lived with me until he was 2 or so, & I was like a second parent, rather than a grandparent, so we have a very special relationship.

He’s my Schnicklefritz, & my buddy.

We’ve been indulging ourselves in junk food & gaming, staying up late & laughing.

And yesterday we went to the zoo, & spent a couple of hours just bumming.

I cherish my time with this precious kid, & I’ll be sad when I have to take him back to his dad’s tomorrow.

He just makes everything else seem better, ya know?
