Back before the ugly truth came out, Louis C.K. had a great bit about aging that’s started to resonate more and more with me as I hurtle ever closer to oblivion:
Some things that are now just “like that” for me:
- Socks or slippers are now essential (otherwise my feet become blocks of ice)
- Morning coffee isn’t just a suggestion
- Evening coffee is out (unless I’m up for an all-night ceiling staring party)
- My patented terrible desk posture has real, non-thrilling effects later in the day
- Reading glasses are no longer optional
- Forgetting my sunglasses makes me feel like a vampire stepping into daylight
- Eating garbage actually affects me (especially non-diet soda, which has become my Kryptonite)
- I can’t just eat snacks throughout the day without it taking a dire toll on my waistline
- 10pm hits like a ton of bricks
- I can hardly ever sleep in past 5:30 or 6:00am now, which is “neat”
Here’s to inevitable declines! 🥂
