I have started losing things around the house - or elsewhere.
My ATM card has been misplaced and can't for the life of me remember where it is. I've transitioned to using the iPhone to pay for everything, so fark knows where I've put the bloody thing.
I went swimming with it in my pocket the other week and have dropped it twice (nearly leaving without it) at after work drinks. Feel like I'm destined to lose it.

You swear you'll never drink again, but then you remember you didn't drink anything the day before

- I do this sometimes not because of age but because I wore glasses all day for decades but have recently started not wearing them sometimes.nb
- I can't imagine making this mistake but I also can't imagine being this consummate sack of shit either.CyBrainX
- Ditto, nbduckseason
- A couple of times I've tried to take my contact lenses out of my eyes when I wasn't wearing any. Not really an age thing though.Fax_Benson
- Man I sleep in my contacts and only change them every few months. Always laugh when the optometrist says "Well you've got great eye hygiene".garbage
- Losing one is a strange reminder that I'm nearsighted.garbage
- I did that many years ago garbage. Fucked me up and I’ve worn glasses for 10 years now. Should I got back to contacts?monospaced
- There's a risk of getting corneal ulcers, happened to my cousin. My eyes are apparently freaks of nature. I'll do a glasses day or two every few months..garbage
- ..but I have just popped them in and forgot about them until one rips for about 20 years.garbage

So as the lockdown is starting to slacken, I was thinking I needed a new look for when I finally get a jab and emerge, blinking back into the new world. I was thinking I’d go full Monty Don:
- That’s a look?monospaced
- Dad jeansmort_
- You look old john********
- Monty is the don. I won't hear a bad word.Fax_Benson
- Monty does not wear JeansWolfboy
- Ahhh time to channel Mister Mort
https://www.instagra…ok_not_ok - Monty is packing a pythonutopian
- Ralf Moeller sans muscles?NBQ00
- Privilaged pants.shapesalad
- Hulk shorts?SlashPeckham
- I'd totally rock the Monty Don look.ShaneHolley
- more or less my look these days. years old british designer gear that has lost all its formality (although more ancient band t-shirts and a spaniel)kingsteven
- you buy one piece from Universal Works and it's inevitable reallykingsteven
- ha king, I love Universal Works, bang on.fadein11

I had to get up for a piss at 4am every night last week because i drank a glass of water before bed. When I think fuck it and just wet the bed, I guess that's when I'm really old and living in a care home
- I don't drink anything after 10pm for this reason loldesmo
- I sleep at 10pm lolSimonFFM
- I deeply needed to pee at 7. partner had important zoom meeting at 9. didn't want to awaken her. soon as her alarm went off, I jumped like a motherfuckerNairn
- over her to rush to the toilet. she was a little shocked, I could tell. an hour and a half I lay there, like a twat. no headphones either, so no podcastsNairn
- just bladder-congnizant existential waiting.Nairn
- Bedroom is small, because LDN. if i could've just gone around the side, obviously I would've. Just realised how stupid the above thought process sounds.Nairn
- This is disturbing. Not a sign of getting old.monospaced

My left knee has been occasionally slightly gammy for about two decades now - I remember it'd occasionally feel like it was going to 'give' when going up the four stories to the first flat I lived in in London. It's never been a major problem, just something to pay attention to.
Not sure what's changed these last couple of days, but it twinges like a motherfucker when I strain much weight on it all, as in climbing stairs or clambering over something.
I could barely make it up and then down two small flights of stairs at a local railway station on my way in to work today :\
Just put a shotgun to the back of my head and and render me into glue.
- I've had bad knees for years. Went to NHS physio and they basically said that my leg muscles weren't strong enough to do what I was asking them toFax_Benson
- (cycle, play 5-a-side badly, ascend stairs. ). Gave me some resistance band exercises to develop actual muscles. Pretty much sorted it.Fax_Benson
- Yeah, I was thinking I'm missing out some sort of exercise although I walk about an hour and a half a day. Perhaps that's too much for an old codger?Nairn
- Let physio troubleshoot your leg, there's tons in there you don't know and you might just need to strengthen a specific group of muscles for balance.zarkonite
- I was putting all my weight through my knee joints rather than my puny thigh muscles. Now I bound up stairs like a very slightly younger man.Fax_Benson
- So, this is not a solution, but I just walked in 40+ minutes to work, including stairs, after a cider and a joint and I literally did not have a single twinge.Nairn
- Either that's subdued synpeses somewhere, or my body just not giving a shit and overcompensating for something in my gait somehow. I suspect latter.Nairn
- ..or alcohol is taking its toll on my body and I just don't notice when not encumbered.
I suspect the latter.Nairn - * 'not overcompensating'Nairn

This week has been filled with weird dreams of awakenings, purpose and then 'what the fuck have i been doing since i was a teenager?' kind of thoughts. Existential thoughts of am I good enough have receded quite substantially though. So that's pretty good.

When you sit there for a good 30 seconds and think:
"Wait, did I take this already today?"
