I'm still as indestructible as I was when I was a teenager. Probably because I took Evasion and Uncanny Dodge feats. :nerdy:

You're lucky you didn't meet me - with my "Preternatural Surprise" attack.

Of course, I just made that up.

On March 19th I will be turning 41. I feel middle aged, not exactly young. People still tell me I'm young but I don't think so. To me 25 is young, not 41. I feel when people call me "young" they are taking away how I feel about my age even though according to my hairdresser I have no grey hairs.

On Tuesday, it was suggested that I might be having a "mid-life crisis". I feel that was very encouraging. I'm looking forward to my one-hundred-and-fifty-second birthday!

Youth is relative. :nerdy:

In my 40s I'd sometimes wake up with an inexplicable, minor pain.

It became much more frequent in my 50s.

In my 60s I'd sometimes need medical intervention.

I'm hoping the preceding decade of medical interventions was successful and my 70s will be medically boring.
