Senility is life's answer to boredom. You get to meet a lot of "new" people.

Perhaps this belongs in the joke section, but it's true.

How can you tell that you're getting old?You have different doctors for different body parts.


Stress at getting older? Not really. If you told me you were going to turn me back into a teenager THEN I would have anxiety!
And the doctors look barely older than teenagers!

I'm a none of the above so I am posting to let you know that I write... except that usually, the reason I'm stressed is because the real world has intervened and I can't!

I have a big deadline coming up in 2 weeks that I'm definitely not going to make (not even if I stop sleeping and work weekends). So I'm pretty stressed out right now. Today I noticed cleaning really calms me down. I just put my headphones on and started singing really loud whilst cleaning. Thankfully I have understanding neighbours, they never complain

Stress? I took off work Friday to relax from the pressure. In a busy intersection in Bixby, OK, my car died and wouldn't start back up. Had it hauled to the shop. The timing belt came off and it's going to cost me $500.00 +. I'll let you know how I handle it when I figure it out.
