Getting old

February 23, 2018/ Bronwyn Douwsma

What is the generally accepted demarcation of middle age? Is it a set chronological age or is it when certain milestones are reached?

There’s a podcast called The Loudest Girl In The World, hosted by Lauren Ober. The show concerns Ober’s autism diagnosis at 42, as well as her experience dealing with this information and opening up to others about it.

By the time I arrive downtown, I can see the sun coming up over the harbour.

The year is winding down. I’m preparing to go to New Brunswick for my regular Christmas visit with the family; my travel arrangements up there have all been taken care of. I haven’t bothered with Christmas shopping yet; my cash flow was a little tight until my last paycheque came in, and my tolerance for the malls has dropped over the years. Everything costs too much money now.
