Restless nights. And sleeping in. (No.)
Work load doubling down. (Nope.)
Aching muscles after work-out with longer recovery times. (Not at all.)

Receding hair line. (Be lying if it didn’t tug at me a wee bit.)
Eyesight deteriorating. (Thank God I can still read. But no.)
Pending Empty Nester drag. (Maybe.)
Forgetting peoples’ names. Often. (Hmmmm. Sign of…)
