The Day Before

Tomorrow's a big day

It’ll be my birthday tomorrow. A milestone birthday.

Truth to tell, it is terrifying to know that I’ve reached this specific day, and somehow survived all these days before. And the ones I care about are mostly still with me somehow.

If you know what year I was born, you’ll know what the milestone is. I know people say “age is just a number,” but they have so little conviction when they say it. It freaks people out when they meet someone who believes it and keeps on going.

This is going to be a brief post. I don’t feel much like elaborating, except to say that I’d anticipated this day coming, and requested time off from work. I’ve been enjoying having this whole week to myself. Just one event scheduled for today that I have to attend - the penultimate Welsh lesson of this course I’ve been on, a course which itself will be winding down next week, at the end of the college term.

I’m still learning, at my age. That’s the point.

I’ll talk about the Welsh course next week. I’ll feel the need to talk about it by then.
