I feel your pain - I had to get up at 6:45 to get an ultrasound.
I cannot believe that I am thirty-seven! I keep counting up from 1973 to see if perhaps I am mistaken. I feel about sixteen (all the better to write YA with, my dear,) or maybe thirty at the most.
And this, too. I thought it was utterly ludicrous when I turned forty last year - I certainly don't feel it. Sixteen sounds about right.
I have been reading a lot of things you recommended recently, which doesn't help, but one thing you might not have read is Redemption in Indigo by Karen Lord. It has an amusing and unusual (in my experience) narrative voice which I rather enjoyed. I can't promise you will like it, but I am hopeful.
