Recharging my mental battery

Today is what I needed. I went to go see my parents. I love going to see them as they're literally the best. They raised me to be who I am and not care about what people think about me. They set a blueprint that was hard growing up with sometimes but the mockery at school was only a few years.

Recharging my mental battery – Carl Vs Reality

excited for tomorrow

I'm very excited about tomorrow as I get to visit my parents. I don't get to see them as much as I would like because I don't drive and I need to get a bus to see them. The bus is like an hour and forty which is a big chunk of time , meaning that I can't go see them before or after work. I love catching up with them as we chat and all that.

Good evening Fediversistas! Been ambling. Never a bad thing to do, even when it was rather wetter and colder than the weather app may have led us to believe; we may have gone one season off in our coat option.

It was my 60th birthday this week (yay me). At dinner with friends one of my older friends told me 69 is the "It's basically over" birthday.
If someone dies at 59 everyone thinks 'Oh how tragic, they died young'. But as soon as there's a 6 (or higher) number in front of their age if they die people kinda shrug - "they were old".
