"What middle age and beyond is really like…"
06 Jan 2013 Leave a Comment
Sometimes that’s exactly how my brain feels. Ten years ago this would bother me. Today not so much. It’s just a part of getting older. What bothers me most is the realization of how much abuse I have done to my body.
I don’t always recognize my self in a reflection because inside mentally I don’t always feel my age, however mirrors don’t lie.
My hope this year is the year I pull my head out of my ass, take my health by the boot straps and do all I can to re-create a strong body.
Wish me luck.

I used the word “hip” as in “Hey that’s hip”. I also used the following words because, well, I like em. Sue me.
My kid sat in the back seat convulsing with laughter howling “Oh God you are so old.”
To which I replied “Thanks a lot you little shit.”

Yep, I too have been sucked into the Facebook phenomenon and still can’t figure out why. It’s like returning the to the 10th grade and truly I hated high school.
Dear Crazy Ass Facebookers -
This is not Twitter. For the love of God stop using hashtags. It’s pointless, and stupid, and I swear if you make Facebook incorporate them I’ll eat your souls.
With a spoon.
That is all.

This election year can’t be over fast enough for me. Not that I am trying to live my life away but truly I am just so over this election.
I am to the point I don’t give a shit who wins. I just want it over.

I notice that I don’t sleep the sleep of the dead any longer. Do you remember in your teens, early 20′s and even in your 30′s when you fell asleep you could actually “sleep in” — sometimes sleeping until after noon? Oh God do I remember those days.
Not anymore.
My nights are filling with tossing, turning, the occasional night sweats, insomnia, and over all being just a light sleeper when in the past I could have slept through a zombie apocalypse.
I am also noticing when I wake up for the day — some parts of my body wake up sooner than others. There are random creaks and groans of my bones. Tossing back a couple of Tylenol right before I step into the shower is common practice.
What do any of you who are over 40 notice these days in regards to your bodies? Anything different?
Inquiring minds want to know.
