    The rage inside has only ever increased. The older I get the more militant I get. By the time I’m 40 I’ll be living in the forest defending my country from fascists with a bow and arrow.

      Damn. I made tomorrow and tonight’s dinner. My back is fucked.

      Good news: burgers+fries were tasty and I’m looking forward to the shepherd’s pie tomorrow.

    It’s interesting to me that I don’t see myself aging in the bathroom mirror…until I put on my glasses. Then it’s obvious. Also, I didn’t used to need glasses. But nature’s gaussian blur filter is awesome. My wife looks as good as the day I met her too!

    After about an hour of using the mouse or controller gaming, I have to take a few seconds to massage my hand because it gets sore and stiff.

    Didn’t happen until I got into my 30’s 😔

      I had perfect vision for decades and then it suddenly went to shit. Found out there’s no preventing it, no lifestyle changes to make it better. It’s just gone. Presbyopia can’t be prevented or fixed. Feels bad, man.

    If a terrorist held a gun to my head and ordered me to get on my knees, I would simply have to let them blow my head off because that is no longer possible. Also I have that slight wrinkle at the top of my cleavage, which apparently I can get Botox for. But I’m not going to.

    Holidays are a blur. I don’t remember individual years anymore, and every year I’m started at how quickly it became Christmas already.

    Ffs we’re halfway through February already. I was just putting up the tree like 3 days ago.

    Using any tool that vibrate much like a string trimmer will irritate where my spine is pinched and I’ll regret it for months. It makes me feel useless. Fusing 4 discs in my upper back or neck would almost guaranteed make me feel more useless.

    I definitely can’t pretend I’m young anymore. It isn’t just pain, and when it is pain it’s not the worst pain. It makes me unable to feel my arm. I had to get an epidural of steroids to get the inflammation down to get feeling back, and I seem to be at least mildly allergic to that .

    Not being able to see at night when the lights turn off

    Injuries take longer to recover from

    Headlights in the opposite direction cause troubles

    Dashboard indicators (like high beams) are much brighter, annoyingly so.

      Hehe. On mine the cruise, high beam and fog light indicators don’t dim with the rest of the dash board.

      Luckily they’re all along the top row in the centre, so I drape the glasses cleaning cloth over the dashboard to form a little curtain.

      I’m in a rural area.
