starting points

I'm 34-soon-to-be-35. This is a good age to have a crisis.
I got laid off a week and a half ago.
Several days after that I found out my Grandmother has gone to a convalescent home.
And yet somehow I don't think my 35th birthday is going to feel nearly as bad as my 30th did. I could be wrong, but right this minute, despite everything, I feel pretty good.
That's actually kind of scary.

So why is 34-going-on-35 a good age to have a crisis? I thought any age was a good age to have a crisis.

Sorry to hear about your grandma going to a home, and you getting laid-off. Did you get unemployment benefits?

Well, you're right that any age is good for a crisis, I just tend to divide by decades and then the 5 year marks for my smaller crisis times. If I'm feeling like having a crisis I can generally wait for the next 5-year mark to do it.;)

It's been a month and a week since I've been laid off, and no unemployment check as yet. They tell me it's still being processed and that there shouldn't be any problem, supposedly I should get a little over $300 per week. But I'm feeling a little nervous. I'm wondering if they're going to disburse all of it the first of the month.
