I had a call from Crazy Domains today who host my blog, asking if I was intending to renew hosting for another year.
With 10% discount it was 1 year-$97.20, 2 years-$172.80, 3 years-$243.00
or 5 years+5 years free-$486.00
The logical option is to go for 10 years at $48.60 per year right?
Yeah – if I live that long… Funny, it’s the first time I have had a real conscious thought like that. But it’s interesting how we so naturally expect to live to our 80’s or thereabouts and would feel gypped if we got anything less.
I often tell people ‘every day over 50 is a win’ and I try to live that way, enjoying life as much as I can, but reality is there are no guarantees for any of us that we will live long and healthy lives. At 57 in a couple of months, the next big one is 60 and that really does feel like a different space.
I still feel like I’m in pretty good shape, albeit with some nagging ongoing health issues. I imagine everyone my age has something that annoys them, so I just suck it up and move on. But one day it will all end. My old man has dodged cancer, a heart attack and a stroke so far, so if I can emulate his antics then maybe I will get to 90 in one piece.
My family know the song I want played at the start of my funeral to ‘keep it real’ so here’s hoping they don’t pike out when the moment comes. I’ve still got a whole heap of things I’d like to do before ‘check-out’ so I’m thinking I may just take the 10 year option – in fact I might ring back and see what they can do for 20.
I’m definitely not bulletproof, but I’m hoping to be around for a while to come.
