Old is when your Sweetie says, "You have pillow creases on your face," and you say, "Um, they've been there for months. . ."

When it takes you over a week to paint the damn living room and it's only a 63 ranch tract house size. (Not including the ceiling and only painting the door in the trim department.) Just a 6 x 8 piece of wall to go and one more coat on the door. Maybe tomorrow. (Thank God for aluminum foil, in which the brushes and pads are wrapped tightly after each segment so they don't have to be washed out.)

When Sweetie wants you to buy him more of those putter pants with the elastic waist.

When you put the cat litter boxes up on small plastic patio tables so you don't have to bend all the way down there.

When you start putting those support inserts in your shoes.

When you say, God, there are so many more things I could put on this list but I'm not going to because I need to go the bathroom again.
