This is a question Getting Old

Drimble asks: When was it last brought home to you just how old you're getting? We last asked this in 2004, and you're eight years older now. Eight. Years.

I'm turning 40 this year.
Yay.

I work with oldies who mostly have dementia. The average age of the funglies is 80 odd.
One of the ladies in the facility will be getting a telegram from the queen this year. She gets around without a walker (unlike many of the other residents), her eyesight & dexterity is good enough that she still does a lot of sewing jobs for both resi's and staff, she always greets me with a relevant question about what's happening in my life and is 1 of the warmest and more personable human beings that I have ever known. I sometimes help her with the quiz or crosswords but it's usually only 1 or 2 clues she hasn't been able to get herself. Her hearing's a bit stuffed but I HAVE A NICE LOUD VOICE so it's all good.

If I were 50 years older...

Boundries sunshine, boundries.
We do actually have an "in-house" couple. Their marital situation has only been raised once by a rather foolish & naive staff member. The collective shudder from the staff shook the roof.
