A short solo monologue by Hallie Bulkin reflecting humorously and candidly on everyday personal struggles—being a 'work in progress', inability to fold a fitted sheet, frequent forgetfulness, and the small guilt that accompanies saying no and setting boundaries. The speaker frames these as long-standing habits rather than something tied strictly to turning 40.
Let's be real. We are all works in progress. How to fold a fitted sheet. Anybody else with me? Like I want to throw that thing across the room. I cannot fold a fitted sheet for my life. Am I alone in this? Tell me I'm not alone. Why? I walk into a room and instantly forget why I'm there. And this like this is not just a 40 year old thing. Like I feel like this has happened to me my entire life. How to say no without like a little sprinkle of guilt? I've gotten really, really good at saying no and throwing up boundaries and everything but occasionally there's like this little twinge of like oh, but I could just say yes and maybe I should do that and second guessing myself and I'm like no, Halle, no. So just that little sprinkle of guilt, I would really like that to just disappear in my next 40 years of life.
