Getting Old Sucks!


This getting old stuff is for the birds. I am going to jump right into my story and no it’s not about the damn birds on the roof. I need to take a shower in our basement shower since currently my husband is practicing his new gig as a plumber with our shower. I am not sure if he is going to flood the entire house since he is watching how-to-videos on YouTube but I'd rather not take any chances so that’s why the downstairs shower.

This is the first time I am in here since we have had it remolded and I am checking things out, and they actually look really nice. This is the shower my guests use when they stay over and most recently that was my dad and stepmom. So I go to grab one of my stepmom’s products that she left behind and turn to the back to read what it is and the craziest thing happens to me! I am holding it close to my face and I can’t read the words. What? I have 20/20 vision what is this? I put it closer to my face and now not only do I feel cross-eyed but also my vision is actually blurry and I can’t see a flippin thing. I finally hold it out the length of my arm and can clearly read what the damn bottle says now, however, at this point I am a little confused and slightly dizzy from all the eye straining.

Well this is new… or is it? I did just change the font on my blog last week, and after working on it had a raging headache. Then come to think of it I changed my font on my IPad last night as I was reading a book on Kindle. Hmmm this is puzzling so I go ask my husband if he could read this bottle as I shove it in front of his face. He stops his “kinda plumbing” to laugh at me and say,” Well, yes but I have glasses on.” I said, “Well I can’t read it unless I hold it way out in front of me is that weird?” I know I was asking for it and his response was, “Hold shit further from your face. Your getting old.” I shake my head at him. Real nice! This must be what they call growing old together!

  4. Aloha Sweets,

    Stopping in to say hi and follow you from the Monday Mingle. Oh shoot those days await us all don't they. I had this love affair with glasses and used to steal my Dad's all the time when he wasn't looking... don't know that I'll love them so very much when they're a required part of daily life. =)
