i'm secretly 77 years old.

despite being years younger 
i enjoy eating activia for breakfast.

i blow my nose more than any other person
on my floor at work.
please note,
 i am also the youngest person on my floor.

everyday around lunch time,
i'm overcome with an intense
longing for a nap.
by 2:50 that longing has turned into a necessity.
it's days like this i wish americans believed in siestas.

my hair falls out.
in the shower. in my brush. on my shirts.
it just, falls out.
i'm not going bald
but i'm definitely losing follicles.

i can't tell you how many times i've said,
"i'm just not as young as i used to be."
in the past two weeks.

sidenote:
don't eat mini-wheats for breakfast
and activia for lunch.
it doesn't matter how bad you want yogurt,
don't give in.
it's too much fiber for one day.

I am losing hair too! It's a miracle I'm not bald by now. And naps seriously are the best thing ever.

omg. there really needs to be an old folks retirement community. for young folks. because i love prunes. and watching oprah. and a good nap. and definitely think the whippersnappers' skirts are way too short these days.

Too much fiber in a day?

I am grossed out. However, not as grossed out as I am when I think about you being a really old man trapped in a young womans body.

You're a man, that's right. I can take your email response, I'm not afraid.. I know you responses will be delayed.. that geriatric effect.
