I must be getting old.  I have a few reasons for thinking so, and Issue three has pointed a few of the signs out to me.

4 hours of sleep is not enough, but it seems to be all I get lately, even if I go to bed early.

I remember when I got 4 hours, and I was normal.  Now I’m normal, but a little crabby.

I’ve gotten lazy, and deadlines, stress and all that, kind of weird me out.  I get all panicy feeling just thinking about what I have to get done.  Tonight I feel that way thinking about what I just finished.  LOL  That’s a first.

My bed is suddenly too soft.  I wake up achy all over the last few weeks.  I slept over at my Mom and Dad’s, who have a bed to share, and also personal beds, because they both have horrid back troubles.  We got to sleep in Dad’s spare bed lol.  It’s a rock with pillows on it.  BUT I woke up non achy at 4 am (after 4 hours of sleep) and drove 4 hours to Bethal Missouri to a fiber fair, and felt pretty normal.  Hmmmm

I find myself thinking things like “these kids today, why when I was..”  it’s sickening.

The moral of the story is, just wait, you will turn into your parents if you wait long enough.  sigh.

It might be easier if they were like multi-millionaires with a jet plane and a private island with a massage therapist, but no, I have to have parents who are crabby because they only get 4 hours of sleep, and have bad backs.  hrumpf!
