Signs that you are getting older

I've actually "fired" my first client this month. Broad term we use but basically informed them that I would no longer make appointments for his dogs specifically. It took me 30 years to get to that point of acknowledging 'ya just can't do what you used to do'...and that frankly he's a complete assholes (owner) and it's not worth my time . Now I've delt with high maintenance aka assholes clients the entire time but there comes a point and I'm there. Also totting around 130 lb half sedated great Pyrenees has taken its physical toll. Beautiful sturdy dogs these two. But I also enjoy walking upright in the morning. So, weight restrictions hence forth. Frankly should have happened before I hit 50

Becoming a grandparent. Which happened a week ago. I'm not sure about the whole grandad thing. I'm far too young and cool to be grandad. Pop-pop is the front runner for titles.

Absolutely awesome bud! He'll be squared away in one of those oversized jogging strollers in no time.

1. Having to scroll for my birth year to show up
2. Been out of school for about as long as current teenagers have been alive
3. Knees crack when you get up. Also, do dad groan while doing it.
4. When a song from my youth plays on the radio and the DJ calls it a classic or an oldie
5. The moment you started considering 9pm as 'late'
6. Getting excited about buying a new type of vacuum cleaner
7. Hangovers are longer and heavier
8. When too many celebrities/friends/family pass away
9. I can no longer function on 4 hours sleep
10. Spend too long looking at the mirror

I draw blanks now. It's the oddest thing. Sometimes you'll go to write, express and type something and there are times I'll end up just looking at the screen and thinking out exactly what I intend to put down. And strangely enough sometimes that's enough, I feel no need or lasting want to put thoughts down after that. I imagine that's an age thing? It almost feels like a sort of writer's block, not that I'm a writer by any means . Feels like wittiness and spontaneous expression wanes and only comes in spots now. Just weird.
