The joys of getting older...

Ah, the joys of getting older! I can feel arthritis beginning to settle into my elbows and knees. My a tolerance for certain foods and drinks have diminished...I cannot drink alcohol or milk the way I could in my younger years...speaking of beverages, I think my bladder has shrunken. Nowadays, when I have to go, I have to GO NOW!! My boyfriend has noticed sleep patterns that have probably been present for years, just unnoticed on my own...this has lead to me getting a referral to the sleep center for a Sleep Apnea test in December. I get to be at the hospital I was born at 43 years ago on my birthday!! Yay! At 6:30 in the friggin morning...double YAY! A tooth, my wisdom tooth, cracked and broke during dinner the other night...having that fixed next week. My pre-menopause has been causing sever hot flashes resulting in me stewing in my own sweat at work, at the gym, walking to the car, out shopping....basically anything that causes me to move an inch or two. And my gray hairs are coming in faster than ever, making it almost impossible to keep up with coloring my hair. I used to be able to go 6-8 weeks between colorings. Now it seems more like 3-5 weeks. But alas, I am happy and this is one of the best times of my life. I'm in love, I have a fun part-time job, my house is MY home, the weather is cooling down to sweater/boots weather (yay!) and life is good.
