I hate that shit. Stuff you used to be able to do literally without thinking, now you can actually injure yourself if you don't think about it and make sure you do it right so you don't injure yourself. What the fuck?
I can't even remember the last time I just got up out of bed and walked to the bathroom. These days, I stand up, stretch, at least take a second to make sure all the muscles are working. Then I can walk the 15 feet down the hall. Seriously? I remember not having to do all that just to take a piss.
I remember leaning over to tie my shoelaces. Now I literally don't even take that chance. I sit my ass down somewhere, set my shoes in front of me, and yeah now I can lean over and tie my shoelaces, and I'm going "ughhhh" the whole time because I'm leaning over and my fat gut is spilling over my belt and I can't breathe, because I'm leaning over.
It didn't used to be like this!! It pisses me off. I can remember not being in physical pain all the time. I can remember walking to the kitchen to get something to eat without having to specifically stand up straight because my natural tendency now is to slouch, but I cannot allow that habit to develop because if I do, the next thing I know, I'll be old and bent over. At least this way I just old.
Remember "Hope I die before I get old"? Okay, I don't share that sentiment; I'd definitely prefer to keep going. But I do understand it. Getting old sucks.
