How do you feel about getting older?

Yep, I do this sometimes, too. And I’m even older.

There were goodbye drinks for a coworker a couple of weeks ago at a bar two blocks from my house. The coworker is 20 years my junior and said the night would start early. Little did I know “early” was 10:30. I didn’t make it because in my geriatric state I had nothing “left in the tank” by that time.

I nearly always forget to take mine with me when I go to the store & will sometimes resort to taking photos of the price tag on the shelf and magnifying it n my phone so I can see the per unit prices which all the stores seem to print in the smallest point font they can muster.
I should get me a chain really

I'm 52, I work as a hod carrier. Thursday, I carried 9 tons of block, Friday I carried 6 tons, plus everything else I do. I like being old(er), I'm probably in better shape/stronger than most twentysomethings. Admittedly, I'm not as good looking as I was 5 years ago. 

Lately, I’m really starting to notice that I’m aging. Honestly…I’m not sure at this moment how i feel about it. I threw out my mattress (waiting for the new one to be delivered, it’s been delayed) so I’ve been sleeping on the couch and sometimes on the futon. I’ve been waking up these past few days feeling very stiff. My neck hurts. 

I’ve also started to notice, sigh, sunspots (liver-spots?) on my face and hands. I’ve always had freckles, especially during the summer, but this year they’re not fading! TBH, I’m feeling pretty self conscious about them.  

Yeah it's a blast this aging thing lol but at least we're all doing it together. Hope you get your mattress soon
