Getting Old

[Army 1911]

Life isn't over until the fat lady sings. I don't know about you but I can hear her humming.

My hearing isn't as good as it once was, but the fat lady needs to take singing lessons for a few years.

Maybe it's tinnitus you hear humming?

I am a phlebotomist in a large clinic in a large hospital. I am reminded everyday that I am not at all old at 55. I see people younger than myself in much worse shape. I thank God for my good health every day.

Growing old is mandatory. Growing up is optional!

Someone may have already mentioned this and I missed it but,
Getting old beats the only other alternative!

I’m 53, and I have a soon-to-be-2-year old, and a 3.5 year old toddler.

The lack of time to exercise is making me feel old and weaker than I’ve ever been.

But the main reality is, I’m just tired. I empty the tank daily just tending to the boys, and once they’re asleep I basically collapse from exhaustion.

We're the same age. I couldn't imagine dealing with kids at this point in my life. I'm ready to retire lol.

Having to wear readers to clip my fingernails and pulling my back every once in a while are the only things that make me feel older. The back wouldn't be a problem if I would get off my lazy ass and exercise again.

inn,

You don't sound lazy to me.

Keeping up with very small children 'is' exhausting...

Enjoy them while you can...

I miss my Grandchildren who used to exhaust the hell outta me when they were little, but I also loved it!

They're all grown up now and have flown the coop to parts far, far away!!

If you had a toddler, you would be getting daily exercise. Ask me how I know.

ETA - PS, I am 64
