I feel 50, 18, & 28 all at the same time.

Physically , I feel much older than I am. Mostly cuz of my chronic lower back pain, but I'm also getting fine lines around my eyes and I have a pretty major wrinkle between my eyebrows that I've had for -years-. Also, I'm always really really tired.

People often mistake me for being much younger than I am, bless their hearts. Last fall, in Texas, a couple of people mistook me for being 16. Usually people think I'm between 20 & 22.

And then I realize I'm 28. Which means I'll be 29 in January. Which means I'm almost 30. And Parker will be 6.

Screw this. I feel old.

But then I do the math and I'll only be 42/43 when Parker is 20 so that's not so bad.
