Signs you're growing older

[Soul flower]

I know that feeling. For me it is keeping a magnifying glass handy in the kitchen for reading directions on cake mix, cookie mix, cooking instructions of all kinds.

My sister caught me using the phone camera magnifier for reading instructions on something like this - she laughed but then I saw HER do it too and caught her we both laughed. I think I would lose a magnifier glass if I had one.

I take my glasses off and get within cm of whatever trying to read...even with glasses not the best eyesight due to cataracts but still "correctable" so have to wait for surgery... yup blind as a bat as they say...thank god for progressive and plastic lenses....

Another part of growing older is irritation that all such instructions are in such small print they only readable without aid by people under 25.

The dirty jokes or dialogue in music, Television, or movies you didn't understand as a kid now make sense.

When youre going on a walk and the pain in your knees should distract you from the pain in your feet, but you dont notice either of then because the pain in your hip is back.

Everything is stiff and sore and I don't have the energy to get much done.

Everything is sore but nothing gets stiff anymore. 😅

Ahhh, I've never thought to use a camera magnifier, but I do have a magnifying glass that lights up! I use it for threading a needle or reading super small print in dim light. Of all the things ageing brings, failing vision is particularly challenging. For most of my life, I've had 20/20 vision, and I'm struggling to adjust to glasses. I'm thinking of having laser eye surgery, but it's expensive , and I've heard mixed reviews .

At least you didn't put the slipper on a leash and take it for a walk. 😅

What signs do you have your getting older?

Going to local shop 3 times and still forgetting the milk

Hot flushes every single night feels like you are burning alive in hell brain fog can't even remember a password have to keep requesting a new one and I only use 2

Also my balance I keep falling over when I get up I do have long COVID as well and noticed it ruins your body and it's added to my panic attacks because now I get up like I'm 102 years old

I had posted something about age and physical appearance but it's just too damn depressing.
