Forty-One

July 17 was my 41st birthday. It kind of came and went without much notice by me. My family remembered and gave me cards and cupcakes, but to me, the day just kind of passed.

I usually like to take the day for myself, to do whatever I want without any plans or expectations from anyone else. I play computer games, go to comic book and/or game stores, I watch TV, I read, I go to lunch or dinner by myself with a good book, etc. This time, though, I just went to work like a regular day. It was my usual game night, though, so I did get to play D&D with my friends. But that’s something I do every week, so it wasn’t something special.

Next year is the big four-two, when maybe I’ll learn the answer to life, the universe, and everything. This year just officially put me in the “over 40” category. I don’t see anything particularly exciting about that category.
