You know WHEN you are getting old.

[alanjh595]

I hope this topic doesn't blow up like the last one I started but............let's try.

You know you are getting old when:

You take out a small number of coffee filters and separate them and re-stack them for the next week's easy use, and you have to give them a puff of breath to separate them apart.
And you have to sit down, because you feel dizzy before you get to next Saturday's filter.

Or when.........
You are considering a 5 hour long airplane ride and calculate pre-board time + security time + flight time + luggage pick-up time and the first thought is that you should put clean underwear in your carry-on luggage.

Or when.........
Every afternoon while starting supper, you prepare all your meds for the next day.

Or when.........
You get a haircut, and the barber picks up that little mirror so you can see that everything she has done in the back is good......you instantaneously look away and say uhhahhh!

Or when...........
You know better than to give-up an opportunity to use the bathroom.

Or when.....
you have to get up every two hours during the night for a bathroom break.

Or when.....
the most challenging part of your schedule is keeping track of which doctor wants a blood test when.

Or when.....
the girls at the laboratory call you by your first name.

Or when.....
everyone at the pharmacy calls you by your first name.

Or when.....
people younger than 30 call you Mr.

Or when.....
you need a coffee break after climbing two flights of stairs.

I keep a coffee in hand - the other hand holds onto the railing...

Just so you can blame the railing for being shaky. I know the feeling.

I understand.

You know you're getting old when:

You have no New Years plans that stick and you STILL stay home instead of going to see the fireworks.

AND you don't have to work the next day, but you STILL didn't crack open alcohol.

I'm ancient.

Our plan for next year is for our friends to come over by 6 and celebrate New Years at 8 so we can be in bed by 9.

Holding your ipad to (carefully) read castanut posts; wake up with drool on the screen

When I realize, I could have done a roadtrip, and DIDN'T! OLD, omigod, I'm old

A customer called me "M'am". I almost said - you're confusing me with my mother!

I've been called "M'am" so I guess I'm officially old.
