Old Age...
pixelpusher:
Still sore from last week when I spent an hour raking and bagging leaves.

One thing I am still coming to terms with is having pains that are constant and never go away. Right now it's just a pinched nerve and sciatica. When geriatric people say everything hurts all the time, I am starting to understand what they mean. One by one each of your parts gets worn and old and begins to cause pain, until eventually everything hurts.
Something to look forward to.

My grandfather's unvarying response to any question or comment about age or pain was "It's better than the alternative."

Tell me about it. Months of a chest muscle pain and then plantar fasciitis and now reflux. I’m even pretty healthy. Being old sucks.

Nope. Old fashioned rake. Thankfully it’s just a few maple trees. I used to live under a giant oak tree. No way I would try to rake those.
