Stubbed a toe last Friday. It feels more swollen and hurts more today than when it was ugly bruised. I suppose a long work week probably didn't help things. Neither did tripping over a shopping cart today didn't either.

Damn parkinf lot at the grocery store is shit. The sidewalk is not even with the pavement as it appears. Cart stopped, I took a few seconds longer.

I have just enough hair left that rubbing sunscreen on my head is disgusting. But not enough to prevent sunburn.

Really. It sucks.
#GettingOldSucks

I'm not sure what is worse: losing my hair, the top of my head getting sunburned, or rubbing sunscreen on my head.

#GettingOldSucks

Cleaned the house and did laundry, now I'm exhausted. #GettingOldSucks

I've finally had to upgrade to multi-focal glasses - which I will admit are fantastic. Except for close up / small screen computer work, so I've got reading glasses for that. All of which means I've now graduated from hunting around the house for one set of glasses to trying to work out which ones I've got on or hunting for two sets.

The FUCK it's been 30 years... Piss all the way off and keep going.

You're just going to love your 60's! My in-laws could tell me about 90, but I'm afraid to ask!

#GettingOldSucks

Kids: “What’s it like being almost 50?”

Me: “Well, I woke up to blinding knee pain at 0230. It took me 2 minutes and lots of deep breathing to even change position.”

#gettingoldsucks

I somehow managed to sleep in a way that made it feel like I had rocks in my left shoulder blade and neck. Thankfully, a lot of water, some Ibuprofen, and a good #workout + warmup, it's much better. 🥳 Fingers crossed that holds up *this* evening (and that I don't repeat whatever the hell I did last night 😨). #gettingOldSucks

Once upon a time, not so very long ago, I came home from my early morning walk feeling invigorated and ready to start my day.

Now I mostly want to take aspirin and go back to bed.

#GettingOldSucks

My eyes aren’t what they used to be. Just saw a post on social media by a band I thought was called the Backflips. Turned out it was actually the Black Lips. #gettingoldsucks

I didn't get much #writing done today because the pain has been very bad: somewhere around 600 words. I will try again tomorrow. #GettingOldSucks

Well, I survived the 5:00a workout. Now to not pass out in the shower and then publish a newsletter for @theendupdates

#GettingOldSucks

I was just getting to a restaurant with my wife, daughter, and a friend when my father in law called from the nursing home complaining about the food. So now I’m sitting alone in a diner waiting for a plain omelette with extra salt.
Why wife did good picking a nursing home in the neighborhood. #GettingOldSucks #SandwichGeneration #food

I feel like the only thing holding me up today is the formidable ankle support afforded by my boots. That's what I get for spending so much time climbing on, in, and under oil-saturated hydraulic equipment. Should have taken an anti-inflammatory this morning...

At least I'm losing weight!

@anisian @AlaskaWx
We drove the #Dempster on that same trip (2008?) -- out to the first ferry -- but didn't see anything there like the millions of gnats along the #Dalton.

I really wanted to see the church at #Inuvik, but it was not to be.

We turned around at the first ferry (unfortunately) because the ferry operators hadn't graded the opposite bank of the river properly. We saw them nearly rip off the rear bumper of an RV coming the other way, by getting it hung up on the bank as it was getting on the ferry.

We pushed it a bit too fast on the way back, and broke the stupidly-weak joint between the cab and cabover -- sheared off every rivet holding the two together. It's a REALLY beautiful drive -- but sometimes you can't see the washboarded areas in time to slow down. So some extra caution is warranted.

I'd love to do it again, especially now that the Dempster goes to the arctic ocean, but #GettingOldSucks.

@hth welcome to the dark side, the side no one speaks about or warns younger people about. Soon comes the time of frequent trips to the loo in the deep of night and random pains in joints and especially your back.. #IDontLikeItHere #GettingOldSucks

@donni My decrepit carcass hurts all the time because I made the bold move of picking up a pen off the floor or putting a large jar of tomato sauce back on a high shelf. No weekend hijinks needed!🤕😩😠 #GettingOldSucks

Früher habe ich mich immer etwas über Menschen lustig gemacht, die wegen irgendwelcher Umstellungen/ Umgewöhnungen (Zeit, Arbeit,…) total fertig waren.

Ich hab seit 2. Januar eine neue Stelle mit minimal anderen Arbeitszeiten - ich bin einfach IMMERNOCH völligst fertig. #gettingoldsucks #siehabenesjagesagt #donnerstag #fediverse
