I’ll be 82 this week.

Every time I look in the mirror I say “What the hell happened?”

When my mom turned 90 she wistfully said “Oh, to be 84 again!” She was serious. It was around then that she developed her very mild arthritis, and had to start taking drops for her eyes and some other pills. We talked her out of water-skiing on her 90th birthday though. (She was serious about that too!)

60’s were good, could still dig out tree stumps (small ones) and handle my chain saw....over 70 getting on the garden tractor to cut the grass was a pain in the arse..got rid of the house and went into a condo...now getting into the car for Krogers takes a lot of will power....

1. And when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness. So you have that going for you, which is nice.

I might add these to your list:

Your memory starts to go so you have to make lists of things to do, buy, or whatever, only to forget where you put the list. I know, put the lists on your iphone.

You reorganize your stuff, (i.e. a place for everything and everything in its place., like items together, etc.) so that you will be able to find it quickly when you need it. Then you completely forget where you put the stuff or you look for where it should be and it ain’t there. I know, see above.

You lose your glasses and you are wearing them.

Getting older can be very frustrating at times.
