Getting Old

One of the many lawn gnomes at my parents

I feel like I am 50 years old. It is 10 o'clock on a Saturday and I am ready for bed already. Where has my youth gone? I used to be able to stay up until 2 am and be ready for classes later in the morning at 8 am. My joints have also gone. They get sore with every drastic change in weather. This past fall was terrible on them.  I cannot believe that I am feeling like this and I am just 23 years old. I was planning on going out tonight, but I am starting to think that bed is a better choice. 

I'm getting too old for this.

  1. I totally understand--this winter weather is zapping my energy! My knees hurt and I'm tired of being tired. I'm patiently waiting for spring. It's a little more than 6 weeks away--you can do it! :)

    Cute picture! hehe!

    Much Joy~*

  2. This winter has been long and hard on many of us. I am looking in the mirror and seeing a weather beaten soul as well. Spring is around the corner, which accompanies graduation (for you at least...sigh).

    You are strong and resilient- I know so. Let's take refuge in each other, and we will make it. Let's make another lunch date- just the two of us. We owe it to ourselves.
