Efter dagligt at have gået 5-12 km i højt pace i en hel del uger, så tog jeg her til morgen chancen med en løbetur - første I 5år ca.
Det gik langt over forventning, selv om det ikke ligefrem gik stærk. Jeg er tilfreds

Growing old is no more than a bad habit which a busy man has no time to form.
[Vieillir n’est qu’une mauvaise habitude; l’homme occupé n’a pas le temps de la prendre.]André Maurois (1885-1967) French author [b. Émile Salomon Wilhelm Herzog]

So, I keep waking up tired for some time now, which is less than optimal. You guys think it's time to check my iron levels?

yes, for those who know my general location, i am up early. it is nearly 0400 here. however, it is for good reason. around 1700, i will be starting an electrolyte cleansing (yeah, that kind) solution, finishing it less than 24 hours from now. this is going to suck! #GettingOld

I was raised thinking life was like a hill. Once you get over the top, the rest is a breeze. Considering I'm still going uphill at my age, I think I'm going to live forever.

A quotation from C W Leadbeater
Sometimes people grieve when they find old age coming upon them, when they find their vehicles not so strong as they used to be. They desire the strength and the faculties that they once had. It is wise for them to repress that desire, to realize that their bodies have done good work, and if they can no longer do the same amount as of yore, they should do gently and peacefully what they can, but not worry themselves over the change. Presently they will have new bodies; and the way to ensure a good vehicle is to make such use as one can of the old one, but in any case to be serene and calm and unruffled. The only way to do that is to forget self, to let all selfish desires cease, and to turn the thought outward to the helping of others as far as one’s capabilities go.
C. W. Leadbeater (1846-1934) English clergyman, theosophist, author [Charles Webster Leadbeater]

I had to write the date on a small sample container (anyone my age will know 🙂).
I could use a pen, but it is a small area and my hand writing is crap at the best of times.
Is it wrong to use a £2k UV cured ink jet printer to print it in OCR-B in the exact space?

Getting old makes everything difficult. I used to be able to change out the battery in my smoke detector with no trouble. But now getting up on the top step of the step stool to get the detector down from the ceiling is difficult and scary, and getting down again even more so.
I took it slow and steady and succeeded. The new battery is supposed to last five years. I wonder if I'll still be able to do it then.

Is there something you can do about it? You’re darned right there is! You can fight back. Mister Old Age is not going to get you, by golly! All you need is a little determination — a willingness to get out of that reclining lounge chair, climb into that sweatsuit, lace on those running shoes, stride out that front door, and hurl yourself in front of that municipal bus.
No, wait. Sorry. For a moment there I got carried away by the bleakness of it all. Forget what I said. Really. There is absolutely no need to become suicidally depressed about the fact that every organ in your body is headed straight down the toilet.Dave Barry (b. 1947) American humorist, author, columnist

RE: https://gamerstavern.online/@alex/116203634602246424
I'm "I'm back to complaining about getting old using the
I'm "insert some getting old downside here" years oldmeme to complain about getting old" years old.Memeception!
Subtitle: YO DAWG, we heard you like complaining about getting old so we put a meme about getting old into your message about complaining on getting old! -
I woke up with an aching shoulder.
Thank you body for constantly reminding I'm not that young anymore.
At least I know the shoulder is still there 🤔 -
The weird thing about getting old is that young people seem to get younger too.

Young me:
Sun's out!... Guns out!Old me:
Sun's out!... Oh, quick, get the washing on the line! -
Stuff I wanted from a car at various ages:
18: Cheap. Occasionally parts can fall off. -> Fiat Uno for 1k DM
25: Company car. Oh the camshaft exploded? Not my problem! Yay!
30: No car needed. Yay? -> DLR, Taxi and corporate cab account.
45: Cheap. Energy efficient. Reliable. Big trunk. -> Astra J 1.7 CDTI for under €5k
Now: Cheap*. Energy efficient. Reliable. Big trunk. 20 cm ground clearance. Bad road suspension. Seats that don't hurt my back.
No wonder its so hard to find with these growing needs :)
*Cheap means: If I have to spend more than €5k on a car it better be fucking awesome, lifts itself up for repair access, lasts forever, runs on beaver farts and not look like a malformed egg.

Years foll’wing Years, steal something ev’ry day,
At last they steal us from our selves away;
In one our Frolicks, one Amusements end,
In one a Mistress drops, in one a Friend:
This subtle Thief of Life, this paltry Time,
What will it leave me, if it snatch my Rhime?
