This makes me feel old as a kid I remember people getting a large tin of broken biscuits at a discount.
 

I’m reminded that I’m old when…..

I’m routinely the oldest person in the room.

I have to use the “ Find My” feature on my computer to find my phone.

I get annoyed when my routine gets interrupted.

I have to cut my walk short because my hips hurt.

I have to pee ALL THE TIME, and every time I sneeze or cough I have to cross my legs in a hurry.

I can still touch my toes, but when I do my boobs and belly get in the way

And speaking of belly I can no longer see my feet when I’m upright.

My untethered chest area hangs to my elbows.

I still feel young, but often my body just won’t cooperate!

But even with all that, it sure beats the alternative! 🤣

Except for my dad, I'm the oldest person in my family. I started out as the oldest child of my parents, and the first grandchild born. I realized that I'm a great-aunt too. I'm at that age where the young people just don't care about me or my life. We were never a close family anyway, immediate or extended, and had poor family dynamics. I felt sad at first when I realized that I'm so old now that the young people in my family don't care and can't relate or empathize. I quickly got better when I remembered that it doesn't matter because I care about me and my life. 🎉🤸🏽‍♀️💐🌞🍨 I love me and am happy with the direction in which my life is going. 💖

There is one definite point about old age Ronni, it doesn't last long.

I know I'm getting old now because I put on my pyjamas, slippers and dressing gown at 5pm and eat my meal by 5.30pm. during Wintertime
and 6.pm in the Summertime.

My problem with old age is that my body and brain are not synchronised. My body, with all the relevent aches & pains of a 79 year old, has problems because the brain never got past 40.
For example this coming weekend we will be at The Shake & Stir vintage festival. It's on from Friday through until Sunday. When @oscash is settling down in pyjamas, I shall be partying late into the evening.

My wife will have to take a rest during the day, she still recovering from last year's heart surgery, but it was her idea to get tickets. So many of our friends will be there, and for taking our old MG car, we will get a concession on ticket price. I might even put up a couple of photos.
