It is another headache day today. We went out to dinner last night and Tom ordered a gigantic steak for himself. When I say gigantic I mean it came out on a large wooden slab and looked like a meal that would have been served on The Flinstone’s.

It was a huge amount of meat that promptly put him to sleep when he got home…which wouldn’t have been bad if it didn’t result in him having meat dreams.

Not dreams of actual meat but induced by the massive amount that he ate.

It’s my birthday…42 times around the sun. Twenty years ago I would have been drinking copious amounts of beer at a bar, while I get a birthday song dedication of Guns N’ Roses: Paradise City. Then I would have proceeded to go home very late and sleep the entire next day away.

Now I am waiting for my dinner delivery, contemplating ordering some kind of cake-ish dessert, and mentally debating the pros and cons of going to bed at an actual decent time tonight.

Oh, how times change.

It feels weird saying “summer’s last hurrah” since it feels like summer only just began, but my birthday is Friday and as I have always said, when my birthday hits, summer is pretty much done.

Everything after that point feels like it goes by in superspeed. That was always my experience when I was younger and it feels even more so now.

That being said I have seen a few people that I know posting photos of their children’s first days of school already. So I know that summer has already ended for many.

It is a long weekend here, which is always nice albeit disorienting when it comes to what day it is. Nothing special, just a Civic Holiday that always falls on the first Monday in August. It is also my birthday week.

My birthday is on Friday, I’ll be 42. I had to stop and think about that for a bit because I thought it was 43 for a few minutes. Time is a blur.

I was up really late last night, like 4:30-ish because Merle would not go to sleep. I’m surprised she wasn’t exhausted because I took her for a walk yesterday that was 8kms and I thought for sure she would be knocked out at a decent time.

It is one week until my birthday and I am not totally sure how I feel about it. The last year doesn’t even feel like a year. It’s crazy how much time has gone by and yet I can’t really remember all of it. It all blurs together.

What do I want for my birthday? I have no idea.

Tom asked me to send him like 10 things that I have on my wishlist so he can pick something from there. I sent him 4 things I think. I don’t really have 10 things on a wishlist at the moment.
