Related: Yesterday I told a co-worker that I’m 26, and didn’t realize my error for a good ten minutes. “Not for another week!” I told her. She said, “Aww!” Thankfully, she’s older, not younger, and therefore gets it.
As much as I don’t want to rush anything, I’m more comfortable with this birthday than I have been in years. Last summer I went so far as to schedule my party the weekend after my birthday, to delay things as much as possible; this year, I’m completely fine with celebrating the weekend prior. I’m still solidly “mid-,” I can handle this.
