I’ve been bloody roasting all week.
Sweltering in the heat like you wouldn’t believe, been enjoying the outdoors at work, to the point where I’ve been useless when I’ve got home at the end of the day.
“Work yourself tired everyday!” A phrase I heard somewhere.
It got to the point that I thought maybe I was ill or something as I was out on my feet and unable to generate any energy at all.
A few peeps have told me they felt similar to this, it must be down to the heat?
Other things that nobody tells you…
- Your body aches, the older you get.
To the point where you struggle to roll out of bed without creaking or pain. - Your eyesight starts to fail.
Never had any issues until say the last couple of years, now when I get tired, distant things get blurred. - Tablets, they give you tablets for everything.
You get problems with your joints, they give you tablets for it, but you have to take a stomach protector each day so you don’t get an ulcer or problems with the meds, but guess what?
The stomach protector tablets, can cause your joints to get worse, it’s a known side-effect, which is the very problem you went in for in the first place! - Your energy will get up and bugger off, when you least expect it to!
You could be a strong man everyday, lifting and fetching without a care, all of a sudden those muscles will stop working, you’ll tear something, then you get pain from this and your energy is sapped and doesn’t come back! - You can hear records of your time, sampled in today’s tunes.
- You’ll have more feeling off days as you get older.
once a month or two up to your mid to late 20s, after that they become more frequent, - You’ll have less time to do the things you want to do.
- You know that 6-pack you had?
It will piss off and leave in it’s place, a gut like a swollen bucket! - You’ll hear stuff, but not be able to make out the words that you actually hear.
It will take three repeats to be able to make out what you were told. - You’ll have to turn the tunes up, not because they are ace, but because your hearing will get worse.
- You will stop giving a stuff about dress sense, it’s irrelevant!
- Know how you managed to get to stage in life where you you managed without anyone’s help?
Once you’ve attained this level of existence, everyone else will will then decide that you should be there to support them, as they can’t manage like you do. - Love a party?
You’ll develop a resistance to such occasions, to the point where you just want to be left alone. - It takes days to recover from getting pissed.
- You’ll get spots on your body that even a doctor doesn’t know what they are.
- Said spots will be left alone if they are doing you no harm.
- You’ll leave a room and completely forget what you were doing.
- Names of things will vanish from your once alert mind.
- Everything you enjoy will become “bad for you”
There are no doubt many more, which I may add to, unless I forget, which I probably will.
