Just made my first doctor appointment on Medicare. No, I'm not on Medicare yet, but my healthcare provider is so far booked out that I figured I may as well take the appointment AFTER my June 30 birthday when I AM on Medicare.

And yes, the appointment is for a rheumatologist. How appropriate. #GettingOldSucks #CurrentlyBeatsAlterative

Time for ibuprofen, this cold damp weather is kicking my arse, so stiff and achy in the mornings before I warm up.

Like Shakira, my hips don’t lie.

They do complain a lot, tho.

Spending 2hrs putting a bed frame together & deconstructing the old one & making a bracket to fit the old headboard to the new frame..

In your 20s: Cool, done, might go for a jog now before dinner.. 🚶‍➡️

In your 50s: _EVERYTHING_ Hurts! Avenge me!.. 😩

I'm usually advertising immune. I'm an analytical shopper who does tons of research before I buy anything. But I just saw an ad for some stuff that's supposed to provide support and comfort for joints in aging people, and I immediately bought a bottle on Amazon. It's made by a reputable manufacturer.

Don't judge me. 🙂

Alas, this is once again my life.

My body fails me and at the moment, I'm pretty much in pain every time I try and walk.

If you are young, exercise daily, control your weight, and stretch frequently.

Just do. Don't ask. You'll thank me later.

From the #GettingOldSucks department...

I purchased a Zima Cube NAS kit along with a pair of 12TB drives, had brought it downstairs to begin putting it together at one point. Needed to wait for either a hardwired network connection or a good wireless card.

Was thinking earlier this morning that I have no idea where I put that thing at. I'm kinda a sad panda right now. 😐

I've got #TooMuchCrap.
