As a 65yo, I have achieved a certain hard-earned wisdom that may have eluded you. I will share:
1) Just get up and go pee, it's not goin' away.
2) Start the fitted sheet at the hardest-to-reach corner.
3) If you get a cold drink, only to discover that you already had one, drink the coldest one first.
4) Work and feel shitty, or don't-work and don't feel shitty. Don't-work and feel shitty is a lousy choice.
5) Being weird is, in fact, a perfectly normal thing to be. *Everyone* does it.
7) If you think that things are bad now go find a person 20 years older than you. They will tell you to stop whining and to continue to enjoy the things that you still can do.
8) Stop trusting your farts.
@RamenCatholic @GeePawHill That is an invitation for one more from me.
9) For those of us equipped with male genitalia - train yourself to go pee sitting down so that it becomes a habit.
It will save whoever ends up looking after you a lot of cleaning as your ability/desire to aim diminishes with age.
Note : this is not mine originally but from an aunt who worked for several years with dementia patients in a residential home.

It's not just keeping stretchy that is important. As you age then your eyesight can cause issues.
As a person who wears glasses my toes are too close with my glasses on and too far away with my glasses off. This makes it hard for me to be able to see what I am doing.
I find a LED head torch to be of great help whilst trying to clip my toenails. The extra light helps my eyes focus by making my pupils narrow thus increasing the depth of field.

Sidebar here: All Swiss men pee sitting down. If you live in an apartment you have to, or you can get prosecuted. So little boys are trained to sit.
Wait, what?
