Woke up in the middle of the night. Couldn't get back to sleep for hours. Tired now, but my alarms go off in about an hour.

Please be advised that today is not a good day. I will be around, but I will not be active.
It's a sad anniversary for me, and I'll be a fragile emotional wreck for much of the day.
Just letting folks know, not expecting special care.

My Subaru hit 190,000 today. I know that's not impressive, that Subarus can get 300,000 fairly consistently. But I've resurrected this car twice, it's sat for at least five years, and 100,000 of those miles are mine. It's not outlandish. But it's something to me. So I'm celebrating tonight.

Adulting is realizing you have the ability to shut your mouth and not say or post that comment you think is edgy or snarky but upon further reflection isn't. Maturity is not commenting how you saved the world from knowing such a thing happened.
So, yeah. I may be adulting but not maturely?
