Farewell to my Third Decade

So as I write this there are two hours before my date of birth, some forty years ago.

Its been an...eventful decade. I've had more jobs (4) and more girlfriends (oh no you don't!) in this decade than I did in my twenties. This is not a good thing. At least it was more interesting and better paid, when I was employed that is. I moved across the country twice, and have lived in 3 different apartments on Green street. I'm still trying to determine if I was in better shape at 40 than I was at 30. Its hard to tell since I did fall badly out of shape (for me, at least) in my mid thirties. I'm mostly trying to not think about it too much, but that's like not thinking about purple elephants when someone keeps mentioning purple elephants. I won't go as far as to say Everything is ruined forever!

In other news I've found my little so-called side business of helping folks with their computers is spreading. I don't do this for big bucks, but it does get me a little spending money here and there. Mostly what I am doing is hand-holding for people who really lack technical savvy. I started with my parent's friends, but no it has spread to a bunch of folks in my neighborhood. It would be interesting how this pans out, but I doubt it will be more than a little work now and then. Given that I've gotten good reviews on the work I have done on my Business Plan, I really can't let a second job interfere.

In kitten news, Zot has been going absolutely beserk since the July 4th BBQ I had. She was the center of some attention and seemed to love it, now she's almost constantly on top of me, claws bared for climbing, and right into my face. She even jumps around me while I am in bed to get into my face and lick my forehead. Seriously, Zot seems to lick me as much as Lyra did.

This alone would not be so big but Zot also is in high gear with the other cats and has managed to knock about a dozen things over in the apartment. She crazy kitty!
