Middle Age

Wow...this post turned a little dark...my bad

 

Middle age is what you make it, I start living my 60th year in a few weeks... I stopped watching TV years ago, I almost never consume caffeine after 3 pm and I almost never consume a heavy meal after 8 pm. I get 7 or 8 hours of sleep every night in a cool dark bedroom, and I feel pretty damn good when I wake up.

 

Naah, not too much. Sleep can be elusive for the most of us. If I have a lot of things on my mind, no amount of medication will get me sleep. But if you know your body and what it needs, even with help from docs, you can learn to get the rest needed.

 

Petticoat Junction and Green Acres.....

 

Old fart

 

When I'm smart enough to get under the Tundra to put on skids, yes, I feel the bones creek!

 

my great hreat aunt was 98, my father 93, his father 89 his brother 98. I want to live long enough to be a burden to my children. Mmmmuuuaaaahhhh!

 

Congrats on the forever 49. If I had one wish, it would be not to hurt. Between my knees, my back and just about every other joint hurting..... my fault though, rode hard and put away wet too many times

 

I used to dog nap with the pooch at 15:00 every day while he was here.

Afternoon naps are great but really screw up my already terrible nighttime sleep attempts. I'm 56 and haven't slept well for about 35 years. Sucks.

 

I found a good mattress is the secret to good sleep. I used to be able to sleep in a wheelbarrow but now a super soft, crawl into bed and sink up to my eyeballs bed works for me

 

Back problems throughout my life led me to a latex mattress. I learned that you lay "in" the foam mattresses and "on" the latex. I like firm and lots of support. Worn out hotel beds really tear me up.

 

27 years without alcohol. Hmm the number of years almost match up!

 

Ha! Then I need to adopt and quick!

 

I think getting the Tundra AND building to an Offroad beast qualifies as my mid-life!! And yet I am living my best life yet!!

 

screen time like smartphones, TVs etc before sleep time is not recommended for getting a good night of sleep.
I like a good foam mattress and cool room.

 

I cant sleep on a peice if plywood with a inch of padding. Back surgery 30 years ago but now other things hurt and I'm a side sleeper.

 

I dunno. Most Tundra folks behave so iPad in bed babysitting you guys puts me to sleep lol

 

At least a cute baby sitter

 

Muuuaaahhhh!!! Ty Harv!

 

Interesting story... a couple weeks ago my wife was at a memorial service and she sat next to my babysitter. She inquired about my wifes last name and then asked her if she was my wife. Small world

Here is mine... BFD Big Fat Dog

 

I've got news, you're a burden already... hee...heee......

 

Three’s Company. Mr. Roper always breaking the 4th wall and grinning at us viewers.

 

Look around, all those shows are running reruns.

 

53 here, feel like I am 83.

I really want a corvette, cant afford one, but that's ok I have my tundra. Heck cant afford that beast either LOL....

 

51 and don't feel like I've hit "middle" yet.

Although a metal hip and a bunch of metal in my other parts sometimes makes me feel 80. I'm still mountain biking, dirt biking in the mountains with the kids and still doing stupid shit. Sleep is just something else to deal with, no bed is comfortable anymore but I'm not going to stop living. I refuse to die on the couch. Suck it up and live life, none of us are getting out of this alive. And remember this, getting old ain't for sissies.

 

I guess you and I live in a parallel universe. Except I take the remote to work..

 

My Sleep Number bed has made a world of difference, I wish I had the optional cooling though.
