I woke up a little older than yesterday. Solve the following word problem to determine my age. My prior age was divisible by 5, but my current age is divisible by 3. If I was traveling east at 4 mph and my bones were already aching when I rolled out of bed, when will I have arthritis to the point where I can forecast when it’s going to rain?
Things to look forward to when you hit 36:
- Being categorized by age on surveys in the 36-40 group.
- Needing more age sensitive tests done by your doctor at your annual exam.
- Complaining about televised events being on too late at night.
- Getting hit in the feels by kids’ movies that you once felt nothing about.
- Yelling at your kids over the same things your parents yelled at you.
- Making frequent decisions on enjoying certain foods or beverages that result in acid reflux.
- Being more out of touch with words and phrases said by younger people.
- Being the same age as Michael Phelps, then finding out he has 23 gold medals and realizing your greatest individual sporting achievement was too embarrassing to mention in comparison.
- Being disappointed that the company in charge has not forgotten about your student loans as you hoped they would.
- Hearing people older than you say that getting old sucks, but not being able to do anything about it.
So happy birthday to me. I plan to enjoy a beer, an antacid and go to sleep by 11:00 p.m. on this Friday night.
