Day 8: 5-minute freewrite -- fourty-four

Fourty-four. Of course, I miss fourty-four. Especially now that fourty-five has come and taken it's place.

I wasn't a big fourty-four fan when fourty-four was here. In fact, honestly, I thought fourty-four sucked. But, wow, it's amazing how much changed when fourty-five arose to take fourty-four's place.

I don't know... I guess I'm just not a fan of fourty-five. I wasn't really a fan of fourty-four either, but, hell, at least it wasn't fourty-five.

Twenty-three. Can I go back to twenty-three and stay there for the rest of my life? I was happy, thrilled, joyful... well, worried, scared, and lost. It wasn't until twenty-nine that I decided to get my shit together and do something. Thirty-one and I had a child. Thirty-three and we found out our child is on the autism spectrum. Thirty-four was probably the breaking point of all that, even though I'm still having issues today.

At fourty-three. But I'm sure I hate fourty-five and will be a much bigger supporter of fourty-four when I'm there.

So much in that one :)

I would like to thank @mariannewest and @freewritehouse for adopting me as the redfish/minnow of the week. Every week, @freewritehouse "adopts" a person somewhat new to Steemit and they support them for the next week. Keep an eye out for the next contest -- you could be it!

And just a reminder -- Extra-Life is this Saturday, November 3, 2018. For 24-hours, I will be playing (and streaming) video games to help sick kids at the Children's Medicine hospitals across the United States. I have linked to my donation page above -- if you can donate, please do.

You can read my Steemit article on Extra-Life here and it also talks about donating STEEM to the program.
