What subtle things/ thoughts make you realise you’re getting old?
I got excited over a non-stick pan today, it’s over for me.

Many things. Many.
The joy I get at finding epsom salts on sale.
The discovery of darker hair on my chin and around my mouth.
The inability to spring out of bed most days.
The fact that I can see myself retiring in the nearer future.
Shopkeepers or salespeople calling me Ma'am.
Using seat warmers to warm me up at the end of a winter night shift.
Putting extra things in place to prevent falls for my partner and for me around my home.
Lifting up my glasses to squint at tiny printing even though I have worn glasses since a child.
Those are just a few.
PS. I am trying to get a nice non-sticky frying pan for weeks now with my free grocery points. They are hard to locate now.
PPS. You are a young lady. Older is not a word you use at your age to describe yourself.
