Where are the food reviews? Did you change your order? Enquiring minds want to know. :wink:

When you wake up in the morning and some random body part is sore and you have no idea what you did to make it that way.

I used to tease my patients for telling me that they “slept funny.”

Now I totally get it.

When you see someone carrying a bouquet of cut flowers and the first thought that pops into your head is, “What on earth is that for?”

Pineapple cake was the highlight of the night😀. Wife went with a lobster special while I stayed on script. Only substitution was went with Stagg Jr as the bourbon of choice.

They look a bit like cockroaches from Chernobyl but I love it. My wife didn’t appreciate that imagery😀

You go to the dermatologist because of one tiny little rough spot on your face, and find out your face is actually a minefield of questionable areas.

(Also in this same month, you have had a dentist checkup, eye exam, mammogram, pap smear, gastroenterologist check-in, and are scheduled for a colonoscopy next week. Oh, and cardiologist in another few weeks.)

I remember being EXHAUSTED as a teen, and even as a young adult. Even after I’d stopped growing, I just couldn’t sleep enough. As an early riser now, I try to remember that with my own kids, though we will wake them up past noon so they don’t turn nocturnal. Growing up is hard work! Maybe the true “getting old” sign is wanting to do nothing but sleep, yet waking up wide-eyed at 4 AM?
