GAH!!! This is why I hardly look in the
mirror! Where the hell did all these greys come from?! I was going to skip
shaving today, but if this is what I have going on with my chin, I might as
well just shave and get it over with. And the dark circels around my eyes are a nice touch...
DAMMIT!!!
It's bad enough
Mrs. C left a bottle of hair coloring out last week so I could "deal with
that situation going on on the top of my head". She'd never let me hear the
end of this.
It has to be all
the stress. That's it! This is all due to stress. I mean, it has to be that. Right? I'm only turning 35 this
year. It's not like I'm getting o-
No! I'm not going
to say it! I'm not even going to think that word. That's not even an option. I've got plenty of time
before I start worrying about stuff like that. Years even! I just have to start
taking better care of myself, is all. Get a little more sleep at night, stop
worrying about the bills and school and grandma Evie's health problems and I'll be just fine. Yeah...
I need to stop stressing myself out. Those are the things causing all these grey
hairs to show up. I just need to relax.
"You're as
young as you let yourself feel." That's what I always used to believe. It's
what I still believe.
Aging is a state of mind and I refuse to let myself think any differently. Not
yet. Not when there are still so many things to get done. I refuse to accept slowing
down now. I'm not ready to yet.
We want kids. We’ll have kids eventually.
There’s still time. We just have to clear stuff out of the way first. Get on
more solid footing financially. Then there’s that kung-fu class I want to join.
I still have time to start… Then again, I could so much more advanced if I’d
started already…
Whatevs! Anyway,
might as well go to the bathroom and shave before Mrs. C wakes up.
OW!!! Damned
ankle! I really need to get new shoes.

This week's prompt challenges you to write a post around the theme "Old", but not use the word in the actual post.
