Poor Choice of an Adjective

Man!!  I can hardly sit cross legged anymore. Every time I get up I feel like I’m gonna fall right over, and I have to walk all hunched over for a good minute to wait for different parts of my body to remember what it's job is.  My thighs hurt... my hips hurt ...my feet are numb.

It’s really weird!  I’ve been sitting like this for 55 years and all of a sudden I can’t do it?

Why is there such a crazy health crisis going on after the age of 50?  Menopause hits... osteoporosis hits... vertigo hits... digestion issues start... high blood pressure... thyroid..... My eyes are worse, my memory is worse, my allergies got worse my shoulders are hurting my feet are swelling I got wrinkles on my face, my boobs are looking sad, my hair is looking sad, even my toe nails looks sad.

How come they call these golden years?   Should be the Black Plague years.  Who the hell decided to use the word GOLDEN for age 50? I want to go throat punch them!

Yoga Lesson 101

My ribs are hurting and stretching seems to help.  I tell Dennis that I need to do Yoga because stretching feels good for my muscles.

Dennis:  So do Yoga!

Me:  I don't know how to do it!

Dennis:  All you do is put your face on the ground and stick your butt up in the air!

*Sigh*

 

Middle age

At what point do we start wearing classes that hang around our neck?  Underwear that go above the belly button, shoes for comfort and stretchy jeans?  When did we decide it was okay to go to the store in pajama pants or open the door with rollers in your hair?  I am not there yet... But I fear it is closer then it should me!
