"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

We are currently in the process of pulling a msbelle

Ooh, this is how one becomes a verb, as in To Nilly or To Meara.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Well yes. Anyone who eats there cupboards clear is definitely pulling a msbelle. I'm not ready to make it a transit verb on its own yet.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Bodies breaking down with age. Check.

We were practicing our karate forms for tournament next month. The sensei had challenged us to do our form "Kung Fu Theater" style. Loud and exaggerated. BIG.

Ok, sure. I'll make a fool out of myself as long as everyone else there was doing it too. I growled my way through and tried to make my strikes and kicks as if I was truly beating someone down. All was fine and good and over the top until my right hamstring said "I'm out". OMG, ouch. I spent the rest of class stretching, came home and took a hot bath, and now I'm spending quality time with my heating pad.

Getting old sucks.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

It looks like Target has some of the Rollasoles too. [link] I might check them out in person but the reviews are mixed.

I think in practice, if they're thin enough to be portable, they're going to look like slippers. But it's a wedding -- if at some point you change shoes, odds are that people won't notice. (And/or you can always put your dressy shoes back on after you've given your feet a break.)

Yeah. I just tend to think of it as losing elasticity. All the soft tissue (tendons, ligaments, muscles) lose their snap, cartilage loses its bounce. Even your eyeballs get more rigid and less flexy.

Then there's the back.

And the digestive tract.

I have often said that growing older consists of finding new ways your body can turn on you.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I don`t want to get older! ( She bemoaned, lying in bed at nine o`clock with a sore hip.)
 
I have lots of spoons but I used them all up on my awesome mini-vacation. Now I must lie here.
