Things that are harder to do than they used to be

Getting into packaging...frustrating
I now tie my shoes so I can just slip them on and off. Trying to tie them cuts off air supply,
Get winded easy now mostly cuz of COPD
Being patient now while people ask me if I'm ok 52 times a day cuz I look like I'm dying. LOL!
 

I feel the cold more now than I did years ago, which isn't great given where I currently live. Makes almost everything harder to do when outdoors. That's only going to get worse with time I expect.
Another 4 months, my contract is up and and I'm outta here (y) - no regrets in leaving as I won't miss the weather!
 
Putting things back in the higher cupboards or dusting tops of furniture or pictures on the wall.

My curtains are on tension rods and are VERY high up so if they come down I'd have to hire someone to put them back up. I haven't washed them due to that fact but they look okay. I am very careful when doing anything near them.

Remembering to add the water to the coffeemaker after I have ground the beans and put them in the basket thing. I make it the night before so in the morning I can just flip the switch. Now I make sure to have the water sitting right there next to it while I grind the beans.

Dropping things on the floor and leaving them there.

I now write everything I do on the calendar so I remember when I did it last. Like showering, mopping the floor, vacuuming, changing the bedding, laundry, etc. That has worked out really good for me.

Similar. The jug of water sits beside the coffee maker. In the morning I pour the water in, snap the lid closed and walk away. When I finally remember that I may not have turned it on, I return and do it.
 
Trying to read the recycle numbers on plastic containers. Why do they make them so small? #1 & #2 are the only numbers that will get recycled so you have to read them.

I hope you're going to remain in Canada.

Will likely maintain some kind of residence in Canada to maintain health coverage while in Canada and to be eligible for government pensions when the time comes. I need to look into the rules on that more closely. For the first while though, I will be spending time as I can in more exotic locations I expect. Working on a list and pros/cons for each over the next couple of months (y)
