Weak

I am thinking of the parts of me that I can now officially call "weak."

1. Weak mind - The other day I was helping my grandaughter with her homework and I looked at an animal and called it a zebra. She looked at me and said "Lovey, that is a giraffe." Ouch!

2. Weak bladder - I am regressing back to childhood behavior where I don't seem to have enough advance time to get to the bathroom. It happens so fast that I have to make a quick break for the restroom way too often. Ughh!

3. Weak knees - Knee surgery aside, the old knees aren't what they used to be. Too much popping and cracking. I thought this only happened to old people. Alas!

4. Weak back - The dreaded belly fat that I hear comes from stress has caused my back to weaken. Well I would prefer to think it is from stress rather than me sitting on my butt for hours at a time. Anyway, when the belly grows, the back goes. Whew!

5. Weak eyes - I was bragging to my husband, brother, and sister-in-law at a restaurant the other night that my near-sighted eye now compensated for my far-sighted eye. Therefore I can see much better than most people my age. The joke was on me. I pulled out a speeding ticket (my first) that I planned to take to court next Monday, the 26th. Looking at it with glasses, I saw the court date was Friday, 06. The 0 looked just like a 2 to me without glasses. Missed my court date and had to pay the full fine. Whoops!

Lovey
