My fifth decade
Significant Birthday tomorrow. Not quite sure how that happened; I still haven't really got the hang of how to be a grownup never mind a middle-aged person. DS says I'm not that old yet and he'll save buying me a tartan shopping trolley until I'm 60. Thanks, son!
This decade has been a good one on the whole. I'm no longer flat broke, I live in my dream house, I get to play with beads and call it work, my lovely toddler has grown into an equally lovely teenager, my marriage is better and stronger than it's ever been... and ten years ago I had never seen 'Arthur of the Britons' and didn't even know what a slash writer was, and now I are one... albeit a somewhat sporadic one. Little did I know when I clicked that 'join group' button on Facebook that it really would change my life! Huge thanks to trepkos for encouraging me into fandom and not laughing at my fictional efforts.
It's not been roses all the way. Several important people in my life (and a much loved dog) are no longer with us, and there have been medical issues aplenty. But I'm still here and life is good. Whatever it chooses to throw at me from here on in!
I'm looking forward to tomorrow. I've got presents to open and an epic home made chocolate birthday cake with Baileys icing. Doesn't get much better than that!
i wonder whether LJ will still be here when I'm looking back on my sixth decade?
