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.
