MMM...

Today is good. I’ve been waiting for today. I’ve been sick with a cold, I’ve had some other things that have “come up” health wise (no no no, nothing serious, just little stuff), my teeth hurt from the dentist.

And today, all things feel better, teeth and nose and body. Almost back to normal. And it feels really nice. Nothing like getting sick to know how good “well” feels.

I had a nice lunch with an old friend. Sometimes I worry that I’m not social enough. My instinct MOST nights is to go home and be alone. But then I go to lunch with people like Ms. Erica and I realize, I’m just picky. I like people and my friends and all those good things, I’m just choosy. We just talked and talked, couldn’t get it all out and hear it all fast enough. It was lovely.

Anyhow. Here’s what I’m really noticing.

I’m starting to make a lot of noises. Hmm’s and huh’s and mmmm’s and all kinds of noises during all kinds of activities. I think some of it is attributable to John, who mumbles when he eats like Matt Dillon in Flamingo Kid. So I’ve kind of been copying that. And I talk to myself a lot anyway:

John: WHAT BABY?
Me: Nothing, just talking to myself.
John: WHAT?
Me. NOTHING!

And make noises at my desk at work. I’ve always done that. But lately, its gotten out of control. I make noises almost constantly.

Is it a sign of getting older? Has anyone else noticed this about themselves?

Is it just me?

It is?

Huh. Mmm. Erp. Hmmm.
