How Did I Get So Old?
Sigh
Tomorrow I will officially be closer to 70 years of age.
Can't say I don't feel it. Thanks to pain levels, health issues and a 6 pound wonder dog-sleep is but a dream. Oxymoron is on purpose.
Yet, every day I get on my Precor stationary bike for over an hour. I also do my best at taking the girls for a walk. I'm not sure who's back hurts the most as we finish that mile!
To prove how my mobility has changed through the years, I've gone from only using the stairs during our yearly cruises to making sure the elevators are nearby. If that's not enough, Steve and I just booked our 2026 cruise BECAUSE it was handicap designed.
There's an eye-opening realization...
Also, I am using a lot more of "talk-to-text". The hands are not what they used to be!
That explained, I am grateful for the past years and looking forward to many more! Tomorrow, my good friend Lynda is taking me to coffee at a new place she found! Then the family is taking me to dinner at a local Thai restaurant.
In a week or so, we will have a belated birthday and Thanksgiving dinner. Adam and family are going out of town for turkey day and I just can't do two dinners. We're also scaling down the menu. Although, we will be celebrating Sam's, mine and Bryce's yearly change of ages.
Bryce is turning 8!!! Wow!! No more car seat. She's very excited about this moment. I loved her suggestion that we take them to our local animal rescue store and donate them to help care for homeless senior dogs.
Perfect!
With this said, I wish everyone a very healthy and happy Thanksgiving.
