Signs you're getting old. Whoa, I hate to even list any. Not long ago I had a reason to take a fast sprint across the yard. The UPS guy passed my house with my package and was ringing on the neighbor's door. I could have done that, turned around and sprinted back again a few years ago. This time I arrived puffing and huffing and could hardly tell the guy the package was for me. The puzzle is exactly when, and how, did I lose that ability, and how did I not notice?

I've done the menopause thing, and I went through the one where you look in the bathroom mirror and see your mother looking back at you. I am NOT ready for a little boy scout to slip up beside me and ask if he can see me safely across the street LOL. But, let me tell you, every age has its distinct advantages. If I just don't feel like climbing up on a stepladder to change the Neon Strip lights (I can do it but it's a hated chore), I can always call my neighbor and tell him I don't feel comfortable up that ladder. Ohhh, and although I haven't tried it yet, I think I am getting into that age category where I can poke a cop in the chest and say "Now, you just listen to me, young man" and not get arrested.
