I say that all the time! My mind is alert, but the body is lagging behind….just turned 80, worked til I was 78. Closed my business because of pandemic…I would probably still be working had it not been for Covid! ☹️☹️
Just made it to ninety. Sleep, eat, and walk well but bending, getting out of a chair, and lifting heavy stuff are a pain in both senses. Made it through a major car wreck, a heart attack, and serious cancer. Grateful for my life, past and present, and constantly wishing better for all those with less.

You know when you’re getting old when you can’t find your coffee cup unless you have stenciled your initials on it.

And all the ‘side-effects’ of getting old – are cumulative, unfortunately.

Getting old beats the alternative.

I roll out of bed pretty well…it’s getting up off the floor afterwards that is problematic…Thankfully there’s ibuprofen and aspirin.

I so relate to Uncle Ted. And he’s Brutus’s oasis in a desert filled with Gargoyle, Veebs and Hurricane Hattie.

Might be better than the death alternative which is not too far down the road……

Uncle Ted and my mom could get together and commiserate. Mom has the same problem as Uncle Ted.
