Getting old

Today is a particularly lovely day outside. Well, in my standards anyway. The African heat really got to me these past couple of days and I was just so grateful that I worked in an air-conditioned building.
Yesterday (Saturday) was nice and cloudy which gave me a little time for gardening, and last night it started raining (still a lovely drizzle outside) so it is nice and cool today.

The problem is though - whenever it is overcast / raining my joints act up for some reason. So it's snap crackle and pop all the way down the hallway. So I was thinking; Am I the only person who is battling to fight the effects of age? My bladder took on mind of its own, my singing voice sounds like I gaggled with napalm, and I will walk into a room completely forgetting why I went there. I had to seriously cut down on my charity work because my body just can't keep up, and I can manage about 0.24 seconds on the trampoline with my daughter.

Please tell me that I'm not alone?

1- It hurts all the time now
2- It don't work anymore
3- All of the above :sad

At 35 you finally get your head together and your body starts to fall apart.

At 38 it gets harder to get out of bed.

At 40 on Facebook Photoshop is your best friend.

No, you're not alone. There are over 49 million other people living in South Africa.

Oh... You didn't mean that, did you?

You're not alone in growing old either. I have gout, wich is really bad, since I really like cheese. Just a couple of crackers with Camerbert on them, and I'm limping the next day.
 
About 10 years ago I worked in our customer service department. My desk was approximately 25 feet from a printer. This was an old dot matrix type printer and if you recall they were rather noisy as they printed documents. Well, one day I was working on a document for a customer and needed to print it so I could send it by fax. I sent the document to the printer and then got up from my desk to walk to the printer. I got as far as our receptionist's desk and stopped because I couldn't remember why I walked down there. The printer was rattling away right in front of me and the receptionist thought I was nuts. I actually had to walk back to my desk, sit down, and begin working again before I realized that I needed to print that document and that is why I was standing by the printer.

Here's another one for ya. I enjoy fishing and one day in the fall of 2008 my brother-in-law and I had been on the water fishing when I caught a really nice crappie. We photographed me holding the fish and then released the fish. When that photo was taken I had let my beard grow and I didn't realize how grey it had become. Anyway, about six months later my brother-in-law sent me an email with that photo attached. I remember opening the photo and thinking to myself, "Why did he send me this picture of an old guy holding a fish?" You got it. I didn't recognize me in the photo! :biglol Needless to say, I shaved my beard off that night and haven't grown it since.

Is that bad or what?

Sure is. But it can have it's fun sides as well. I just changed jobs recently, and nobody at the new place knows I have gout. When a co-worker saw me limping the other day, he asked what was wrong. I told him "I have too much pee in my foot". He got this big question mark on his face and said "I don't think I've ever heard anyone say that sentence before." I explained that gout is an excess of uric acid in the blood, which settles in the joints. Since uric acid is, as the name implies, the acid in urine, it is possible to say that I have pee in my foot, although I more often say I have cheese in my joints.
 
Well, if you have pee in your foot and not on your foot, you are better of than I am. My body's magnetic fields changed before the planet's did. Everything that pointed North, now points South. I have @*$& for brains and as I said; my bladder now has a mind of its own. Everything is upside down.
