first day of being old

i actually felt old today. All 34 years were hanging out. My legs didn't want to cooperate, my lungs were screaming, and my wrists asked me what the heck i was doing.

I didn't have an answer other than to say - this is what I do. I can still do to demonstrate - but I'm a clunky dinosaur, lumbering and slow. My kids are the young raptors. Agile and fast. They move like I used to. I move like my old coaches used to.

I feel creaky and hot and cold all at the same time. My smile is my defense, my brain is my offense.

UGH. I don't like being old.
