Huh...

I may have mentioned it but all last year I thought I was a year older.

Like I *just* turned 47 last month but all last year I thought I was 47 and when people asked me my age I legit had to think about it.  Spoiler:  I was 46.

So... imagine my surprise when I was at the doctor's last week getting a check of things one should get checked regularly (folks, this is your polite and friendly reminder to get your cervix/breasts/prostate/whatever else checked regularly... for your own health, please!) and the doctor asked me how old I am and you guys?  I LEGIT started to say "fifty....." and then stopped myself.  I am not 57.  I have no issues with the fact that one day I hope to *be* 57 but I am not currently... fifty anything.  But that's what my brain wanted to say.  I.... can't even!

I legit think I forget how old I am and I'm totally blaming two years of global pandemic for that!

I do this all the time. I always have to subtract my birth year from current year to get my age. And then there's the "how the heck did that happen?" going on in my head. Didn't I just finish high school five years ago? How did that get to be 35 years ago so fast??? Sigh...
