Birthday Eve!!

And suddenly, in a blink and a heartbeat, it is the day before my birthday.

I'm really not sure how this has happened so fast. What exactly has happened to the first three weeks in January? Maybe the fact that last year was an absolute horror show of lockdowns and angry supermarket customers has put me in a weird, Twilight Zone-esque mindset where there's nothing from last year to compare this month to and it feels like a month that we've never had before. It's also the first January that I've worked in this job, of course, so that may be adding to the General Weirdness and Middle-Aged Confusion. Plus, it's been unseasonably warm and sunny. I'm not complaining about that for one second, but it does throw you a bit mentally when it feels like Spring outside but we're still in the depths of Winter. We're having huge, deep, beautiful frosts but then bright, sun-filled, mild days. No wonder my head doesn't know where my arse is, and vice versa.
