It's Official

I'm old. Officially.

I thought that when my oldest became an adult, I'd feel old, but didn't.

I thought that when I got my first couple of gray hairs, I'd feel old, but didn't.

I've held out as long as I could, but when it's stubbornness vs. time, time usually wins.

For the past 3 years, I've had to remove my eyeglasses (I'm nearsighted with a severe astigmatism) to read anything less than 12 pt. type. Today, I went to the eye doctor. She did a very thorough exam and came to the conclusion that I need bi-focals.

*sigh*...I guess it could be worse, I could've needed tri-focals. And, at least the glaucoma test was negative. But bi-focals?

Mark this day on the calendar...I admit it and acquiesce to it...I'm officially old.

Now, someone pass the Geritol.
