For me, falling down the stairs ass first, in over a decade.

Life, my birthday was yesterday, why are trying to remind I am getting older? I know that already!

Thoughts? Feelings? Your experiences?

By the way, I am fine. I can’t say or think about tomorrow, though. :sweat_smile:

Needing icy hot when I get home from the gym. I mean, it’s not like I do a really serious hardcore workout, and yet I’m almost crippled for the rest of the day. Yikes. ﾍ( ´Д`)ﾉ

Everything…

Getting out of bed in the mornings… Pain!
Getting up from a sofa… Pain!
Slightest fall… Pain! And a full month to recover!
Sneezed and threw out my back… Pain! And another month to recover!
Lifting a large cup of coffee to drink… Pain!
Typing this reply… Yup! Pain! Arthritis sucks like fuckery!

  • Watching music videos on the weekend TV, and racing back to YouTube to watch videos from the '80s and '90s.
  • Cutting my hair to find clumps of white strands among the usual dark-brown clippings.
  • Rubbish eyesight is rubbish.
  • Faded moles and sun-spots appearing in random places.
  • 404: Hairline not found.
  • Feeling my joints becoming less shock-resistant.
  • Longing for the days of multiple supermarket chains, and local / family-run stores.
    • And for when the Bathurst 1000 had more than two competing car brands.
  • Constantly trying not to laugh at the latest teen / new adult trends and dramas.

Getting winded just from walking up the stairs… My back going out every time I bend over… Everything I look at being slightly blurry…

Getting a small cut that seems to take DAYS even weeks to heal (or am I dramatic?). Bruises appearing out of nowhere. Little white hairs. Back pain and shoulder pain from washing dishes and cooking.

Same. Another thing I noticed is the clumsiness. I wonder if clumsiness is tied to ADHD/Autism because I am clumsy most of the time and sometimes I am fair-ish.

I mean, my body has never really worked properly so yeah :joy: Get tired very easily, constant pain, lack of stamina, generally being a klutz. Y’know, normal things :relieved:
