Last night, at my last walk of the evening with Jack (my dog) my body was aching slightly...could this be the dreaded *cold in my bones* pains that I heard my mother talk about as she aged? I want to rebel!

I remember taking stuff to my Dad to show him and him moving my hand further away to try focus on it, I always thought it made him seem old and doddery somehow......now I do it all the time to my children!!

46 - although I don't feel it, and rarely act it.

I've worked hard to overcome a lot in my life and I expect others to try to do the same.
...It's been hard but I've learned a lot about myself, including how strong I am. I think most of us at this age start to really understand ourselves.

I stay up late too - surfing or watching tv. I was never one for going out to bars but even when I do now I tend to be the designated driver.
I hear you on the drama and chaos! I'm posting less and less at a different site simply because of someone like that.
I'm more likely to just walk away than argue over something meaningless. And I'm less forgiving or tolerant - if someone lies or steals I will cut them off and not think twice and not feel guilty - while a few years ago I would have angsted over it and ended up putting up with crappy behaviour like that.

I feel the cold more now. I wear slippers because the tile in the kitchen is too cold. I pull a blanket over me when I'm watching tv because I feel a draft from the patio door. And what about the whole walking thing??? When did that start!? I've never had much of a figure (or maybe it is too much??) but now I walk for my health. That is so strange.

I find myself looking around a store (or wherever) for someone younger to read the label on products to me. I usually can't make them out anymore, and I never seem to have my reading glasses with me. LOL

LOL! Yep! We also keep the CC on the tv all the time or have it up to concert level! Recently purchased two larger tv's so I can actually read them w/o my glasses!
I used to wonder why grandpa always sat so close to the blaring television.. now I know!

haha.. it sure seems like it...... cause since last fri .. i went up to TN over to Va , then bk down to charlotte area .. then did some load around here. that took up way to much time , i hate them kinda loads , that are short and seem way to easy they end up being a headache...

and my wonderful GPS that my company has in here...... I DO NOT TRUST IT........

example......

it took my down a dirt road yesterday and out in the boonies passin a big chicken farm, with a cute house on it... lol then more woods and clearings where a bunch of buzzards were enjoying some lunch on summtin....to the same adress street name and number.... to a dirt drive way with a bunch of mail box's at the end of it..

well i ended up calling the shipper and it seems that.. MY company had the wrong name at the end of the adress was suppose to be drive... not road. just a lil tiny mishap like that sent me out in the boonies.

then it turned out i was 8 miles away from where i was suppose to be......

im just glad i dont have a trailer to tote around...
anyways have a great hump day.
