New York

I happened to be in New York City this evening. This was not my first trip to NY but it was the first when I felt old. I'm not used to feeling old because I'm not old.

Still the headache I was hit with as a result of overstimulation - too many lights, traffic and noise may have been a sign. All I could think of was that I wanted to be home in bed - which wasn't an option while I was wandering around the city.

Don't get me wrong, I love the city. I've just lived in the 'burbs long enough to appreciate the quiet and solitary life.

Does this mean I'm not young? Or not fun?

OF COURSE NOT

It means I was tired. We all get that way sometimes. The key is to pop a few ibuprofen, drink a glass of water and sleep. I'll be young again come morning.
