Things My Body Just Can’t Handle Anymore

Hey friends, can we talk about getting older? I’ve already celebrated over 861 birthday candles! Can you believe Gerald Ford was in office when I came into the world? And the Vietnam War wrapped up just after I turned one. Let’s just say, I’m feeling my age, and my body is more than happy to remind me of it. Add in the fact that I’ve brought kids into this world, and it feels like my body has officially thrown in the towel. So, here’s a lighthearted list of things I can no longer do at the ripe age of 41 years, 6 months, and 13 days (but who’s counting?).

1. Bending Over: Picking things up has become a risky endeavor. Whether it’s a five-pound dumbbell or one more rogue Lego, bending over often ends with me regretting my life choices. Seriously, just bend at your own risk.
2. Jumping on a Trampoline: Not that you see adults bouncing on trampolines every day, but the thought of it has become kind of appealing. Sadly, I’d probably end up needing a panty liner for that adventure.
3. Remembering Things: I can recite every line of “Ice Ice Baby,” but ask me why I walked into a room, and it’s like I’m drawing a blank.
4. Staying Up Late: Remember when I used to party until the bar closed? Now, I’m lucky if I can stay awake for the end of Dateline. The thought of being in a crowded bar with a bunch of twenty-somethings sounds like a nightmare. Taco Bell’s closing time? I have no idea. Who am I becoming?
5. Going Bra-less: Tried this again while shopping the other day. Let’s just say my enthusiasm for cinnamon bread led to a can of soup flying off the shelf. Not a good look.
6. Going Makeup-Free: At this point, wearing makeup isn’t about impressing anyone; it’s more about avoiding pitying stares from strangers and keeping kids from thinking I’m a zombie.
7. Doing Cartwheels: Sure, I may not be trying out for the gymnastics team, but wouldn’t it be nice to flip upside down without feeling like you’re about to hurl? Ah, the nostalgia of my 20s.
8. Shopping at Forever 21: With age comes the realization that some clothes just won’t fit anymore—like that cute tube skirt that would barely fit one thigh.
9. Having Sex in a Twin Bed: You really don’t appreciate the flexibility of youth until you try this after 40.
10. Handling Hangovers: I used to tackle hangovers like a champ with some Advil and Gatorade. Nowadays, I’m more inclined to consider some extreme measures to deal with the aftermath.
