Dear Diary - I am Woman, Hear me Whimper

 

Dear Diary,

Turning 40 sucks.

Maybe it won't/didn't for you, but for me it did.  

So there.

Why does turning 40 suck?

• Because all my friends expect me to have a big party and all I want to do is climb under the duvet and hide for 6 months
• Because that hotel that gave us 3 free nights turned out to have crappy food and crappier service and was so fucking overpriced that we ended up spending a fortune there anyway - so much for a deal
• Because I don't have a job and every time I think of a fun thing to do - like have a massage - I remember, a second later, that I can't afford it
• Because I had a wonderful interview today with a lovely person and then, suddenly, I realized that, if I got this job, my boss would be almost ten years younger than me
• Because I made a resolution 9 months ago to weigh 75kgs by the time I turned 40 and - guess what? - I weigh exactly the same as last year
• Because I feel stuck.

And this is why I have two pints of Ben and Jerrys in the freezer and a life plan and goal setting can wait until tomorrow.

Bah Humbug!
