Whenever I see friends my own age and think they look so old! That’s when it really hits me.

I know I’m old because my favorite plans are cancelled plans!! (Ok that’s not always true - but often true

and i see the value to "slip on" shoes cuz bending over to do the more complicated ones up... just can't justify that for a trip the grocery store.
and i have run errands in the last year in pajama pants and said "fuck it - i have a 3/4 length coat, no one can see the monkeys on these pants".
and jeans have become the enemy. if those pants don't have an elastic waist or shit ton of stretch, i am going back to the monkey pajama pants.
good lord. i think i may have officially "given up". but here's the thing - i really just don't care enough to care.

I keep getting these funeral insurance offers in the mail. And I get “honey” and “dear” all of the time. Uh, thanks I guess. 🙄 I have to do regular checks for nose and chin hairs. And I look like my mother. 👀

All my high school friends look exactly like I remember their parents looking about the time we graduated from high school.
But not me. Nope. My increasingly blurry jawline and back pain don’t resemble my dad at that age at all. 🙄 (I really don’t look much like my mom.)

I watch these two Collage kids react to music they have never heard. Stuff like CCR, Bob Seger, Neal Young, you know all the good stuff. They don't even know who they are! I'm old. My DD10 started listening to a Christmas Classics station on Amazon Music that she really liked during the Christmas season. She loved so many songs by Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, etc. Every time she would hear a new-to-her song she liked, she would ask me, “Is this person still alive?” Me: “No.” Next song. DD: “Is THIS person still alive?” Me: “No.” Wash, rinse, repeat. One of her Christmas gifts was a digital download of Bing Crosby’s holiday hits, LOL.

I look like my DAD. And he’s the parent that died at age 56 which is only two years older than I am right now.

I was watching a brief video that my college roommate had posted on facebook and I was like, "Who is that old man?" and I realized it was HIM.

I was walking past a store window (in the before times) and wondered 'who is that middle-aged woman walking behind me?' Then I realized it was MY reflection. Fun times, fun times. NOT.
(because in my head, I don't look like that. or when I look at myself in the mirror. But if that's what I look like to OTHER people when they look at me? good Lord.)

There is a long hall of windows at work that I sometimes need to walk the length of, that is basically a mirror at night. I get a little chuckle out of watching my butt dedonkadonk under my scrubs. The good news is, it's getting firmer. Also good that butts like this are still in style especially here in my area of the south. 😁
