Aging with style

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010 | old people, vitamins

So I started taking multi-vitamins today. I bought them during my latest Costco run in a moment of weakness. My hand has been hurting lately and I thought some Vitamin B6 might do me well. I figured as long as I was tackling that I might as well pull out the big guns and fight off goiters and various other old-people ailments at the same time. I’m having second thoughts though… not only do they smell yucky, but doesn’t it kind of defeat the purpose if it hurts my hand to open the bottle when hand pain is part of the reason I’m taking them in the first place?

I’m clearly well on my way to becoming an old man: Aches and pains? Check. Sock suspenders? Check. Old-fashioned single-bladed razor which I started using last year and never got around to blogging about? Check. Slowly receding hairline? *sigh* Check. The transformation is almost complete.

Don’t worry Rob, I’m getting old too :( When I get out of bed in the morning it is a slow process that involves lots of groaning and an aching back. Add to that the fact that I somehow can no longer stay up past 10:30 PM and I feel pretty darn old. So sad…

And do you really use sock suspenders? I’m hoping that was for comedic effect. Right? RIGHT?

Don’t forget those nasty hankies. I’m just assuming they are nasty. I wouldn’t ever get close enough to actually see.
And the hobby of family history. You could probably qualify as a grandpa. Except for the part about grandkids.
