I guess for me, my bad habit would be to think I'm in my mid to late 30's.
Yet I turned 50 this past May....ugh.
Although, this past week or so, I can definitely say I feel my whole age and then some.
But a friend of mine made me feel good when I had to go retrieve our house trailer, and they were asking how Jim was doing (he was still in hospital).
I said he wasdoing better, but that I am really wore out with stress and worry.
(not to mention the fact of me having to drive nearly 1,000 miles in 3 days and hope truck drove fine, all the while leaving Jim by himself)
She actually said I looked good for someone who was under the amount of stress I was under.
God bless her heart.....lie or not, I needed that.
Truly I did. Ha.
Seriously tho, other than weighing a little more than I used to, albeit I'm tall so the added pounds are not too noticeable, I still kinda look the same. (plus highlights in my hair now)
Having said that, my body itself has more aches and pains, even tho I do my daily stretches.
Guess the years of heavy lifting and other strenuous work is finally catching up with me.
THAT is what makes me feel old.
My body itself hurting after we tear down or the evening of setup day. (reaches for Aleve)
All the lifting, pushing, pulling etc etc plus the heat wearing me down.
Yeah, that is where I keep thinking I'm 35, yet my body says ---"oh hell no you're not!! Remember when you lifted the air compressor, how does you back feel now, eh. How about when you pulled in the 175 ft. S10 outdoor cord ? How does your shoulder feel now?"
Big friggin sigh :smallundecided:
