Sansabelt slacks so high on your waist you have to unzip them to blow your nose.

not just reading glasses but reading glasses everywhere. between me and the Mrs. probably a dozen or more scattered about the house. I have a pair for computer work and a pair for reading my phone and a pair for reading books etc. all different strengths.

Worrying about what the thermostat is set to.
Going through the house and making sure lights in unoccupied rooms are off.

Two days post 1/2 marathon in the mountains is Georgia and this morning I asked my wife to help me put my pants on.
I need to add "Pre-Run stretching" to the list of things I do now

Eating supper at 5, in bed by nine.

— Driving slow in neighborhoods
— Staring into the refrigerator forgetting what I opened it for in the first place
— needing a light running jacket to go inside of a restaurant
— talking about politics
— talking about upcoming doctors visits and my health in general
— getting excited when plans get canceled so I can stay home and do nothing
— taking forever just to get out of the house if we are going somewhere
— having reading glasses scattered all around my house and my car

I've been putting off buying a pair of reading glasses for about two years now.
I've been wearing them for a few years. About to have to go to prescription, I think. I had great vision until a little after 45.

Guilty
I will stare a MFer down. My 16 y.o. will be embarrassed, I can’t be embarrassed.

I don't eat at 5, but not too long afterwards. 6 is a little late.
I never thought I'd see the day where I'd find an 8pm baseball game to be an unacceptable start time

Sleeping wrong. When I was young I thought old people were full of shite about this. If I slept now in some of the situations I slept in when I was younger (bathtub) I would die.
Well, I'm officially an old person and I can relate to your post. I once could sleep on either side with a shoulder planted in the mattress under me. Haven't been able to do that in ages because my arm will fall asleep faster than I can.
Matter of fact, I can't lie down on my back and sleep comfortably now due to my sinuses blocking up almost as soon as I'm on my back. I sleep in a reclined, somewhat seated position with my head being at a higher point than my body.

that's about the time it starts to kick in, I used to have to take a physical every six months for work, including an eye exam, I got by with cheaters until I was 48 and the doc, and usually it was a nurse to a tech giving the eye exam, told me the next time I'd better show up with prescription glasses, prescribed for me

I figure I made it longer than most. My wife's went out at about 42.
A few months ago, I found myself squinting to read something on my 36" monitor at work and thought to myself, "ok, this is ridiculous. Time to go to the eye doctor"
