Living La Vida Loca...I Wish

I have a very close friend going through some major life drama.  Right now, I am living vicariously through her and wishing I had some drama of my own.  My life is feeling terribly drab and predictable.  Is this what it means to be about to turn 50?  I don't like it all that much.  It's not that I feel 50.  OK, I do some days.  Many days.  I don't think I look 50 yet.  I creak and hurt in places that should neither creak nor hurt without having been whacked or bumped to cause such discomfort.  I forget words mid-thought and find myself going through the alphabet to fill in the blank.  What a goober!  I feel bruised and achy, though young at heart and sometimes downright resentful of being so darned drama-free.

I'd really like a little drama.   Just a little.
