Ouch. Now that part of me hurts.

My similarly aged bf keeps talking about how it’s all downhill from here healthwise. Haha. I carried home some groceries 5 city blocks , maybe at an awkward position, and my wrist is now sore.?

That's fine. I can walk into a grocery store without makeup I don't give a fuck. Growing old has perks. My kind 20 something neighbors are shoveling my walks. I'm in.

Meanwhile my 84 year old mom is lecturing me that I'm getting to old to go on long kayaking trips alone

.I injured myself canoeing this summer. I told her I'm doing what I love until I can't. & that I am an old woman and it's not her responsibility, which seems obvious.

She wanted to be progressive, but she didn't grow up that way.

At least she's politically on the side against Nazi's. So I win.
