Waiting for Number 100

Waiting for Number 100

You mean I’m the only one who knows that this is my 99th blog post?

And am I the only one who realizes that each one of us will have to wait an entire extra day to blow out our candles again, next year, because 2016 is a leap year, which means that instead of my waiting roughly 340 -plus days for my next birthday to show up — because February 29 is getting added into the mix next year, adding yet another delay to our birthday waiting game. You can do the necessary calculations and see how an extra day between birthdays tallies up for you. And when you’re waiting for a birthday, just imagine what it will feel like having to wait one day longer than you did in recent times. No, no it’s not time to open the cards… one more day!

What do upcoming extended birthday waits have to with 99th blog posts, you wonder.  This 99th post is one last post in the way of making it to on the way to my 100th post! Had I wisely taken the time to have concocted just one more post, I’d be writing my 100th post today, Right now. But no, it’s a bit like February 29th adding extra breaths to our long wait — not having written another post simply means I’ll have to be that much more patient now. To think, just one more post since I started this back in late 2011 and I’d be prepping my 100th.
