I've filled my hot water bottle three times since midnight!

Is this a euphemism for pissing the bed?

Fell asleep and woke up with 10 minutes left of tonight's games on tv. I dare not move my legs, trying to slowly stretch them. Have cramp ready to kick in, in both bloody calfs

I used to have a great ear for accents, but have somehow lost it in the last three months.

Sitting quietly by the bar in my local today. Two women leaving both beamed at me as they walked out.

 

Both grey (peroxide) hair. They could easily be younger than me.

 

That's it, I'm fucked.

tripping over things more often.

 

Only you can hear that buzzing sound.

 

Despite trimming, nasal and ear hair attacks your sanity everyday.

 

watching each step carefully down the stairs.

 

forgetting normal mundane tasks at embarrassing moments, like letting the clutch out.

 

Not far from 50 and this shit above rules my life.

That's nothing to do with age, that's just being a hipster. 

 

Herbal tea....... Come on now.... Snap out of it and get real tea or a decent coffee into you!!
