This post is part of Just Jot it January, and the prompt word, “impatience,” is brought to us by Dharkanein. Check out their blog here!

Once upon a time, I looked forward to today’s date with great impatience. I couldn’t wait to open my presents, to be one year older.

How far I’ve come.

Today was an ordinary day. I woke up and got to work. Two of my three adult children remembered to say happy birthday, and I got some nice birthday wishes on Facebook along with a few DMs. I got a phone call from my best friend who couldn’t forget my birthday if he tried—his is tomorrow.

Tonight I had leftover spaghetti for dinner.

So “vintage.”

At least I didn’t have to deal with the impatience.
