It’s happening. I’m getting older. It started with the new glasses and how I feel every time I go to the gym. More particularly, it is how I feel several days AFTER I’ve been to the gym. The last time I did dead-lifts, I could hardly get up from a sitting position two days later. *sigh* My insurance company just informed me that my monthly premiums are going down because I am now considered a “Mature Policyholder”. I’m glad someone thinks I’m mature.
So this whole Xmas thing is really starting to get to me. The next person who asks me if I’m “ready for the holidays” is likely to get a punch in the nose. The answer is: “NO!” I’m not ready and I never will be ready. There is nothing to get ready for. I’m not doing it anymore. I refuse. I am officially boycotting Xmas. No cards. No gifts. No Santa. No nothing. Any twinge of Xmas-ness that I felt when I saw the Swarovski Crystal tree at the Eaton Centre is gone. If you need me, I’ll be hiding under my bed until December 26.

Oh dear it happens to us all - getting older that is. As to going to the gym - why do you feel you have to keep up with the young and trendies ? Go for a good walk or get on your bike - you see more of the world when travelling unlike being in the gym.
Happy crimble !!
Andrew, performing weight bearing exercises is important as we age, especially for women! It helps keep osteoporosis at bay. Besides, I've always loved it. But since I live 1/2 block from the bike path, I might get a bike this spring.
