Happy half-birthday!! As silly as that is as a concept 😉, we could all use more reasons to reflect on how far (or not) we've come. Love the dog earrings and I agree about the Visual Field test. It's awful! I had to retake mine because I had no idea what I was doing, so my results were akin to someone who had suffered a stroke (which, thankfully, I had not).
In answer to your "age" question, I often find myself drawn to very colorful or sparkly things -- things that a 7-year old girl might find really fun. And sometimes it's just really nice to give into that! For me, that looks like: installing a crystal rainbow maker on my office window, finding any excuse to buy a bouquet of balloons, and decorating my daily planner with stickers of brightly colored fish, hearts, etc. Small things that bring me a lot of joy -- so why not?
I just LOVE your age-defying fun items!! OMG, a rainbow maker on the window--where do I get one of those? :D I also use stickers (yes, still), just because they're cute and fun to use. And I think I'm going to steal the idea of balloons. What a great way to perk up the day!
Thanks for the good wishes on the 6-months. I agree, any reason to celebrate! I assume your visual field ended up ok in the end--hoping the same happened with the hubs and he's going to "pass the test" next time.
