(63,912 posts)However, I've gotten more pissed off than I used to be. Just generally. Trump didn't help.
I wrote my first book in my 70s. I'm 80 now and in the midst of writing my second book.
The only person I yield my time to is my husband, who is disabled and whom I love dearly.
My grandkids live too far to just drop in and visit and I miss that.
this is my live. Well, and DU, of course.

I do like the word ...."mature" and I have been using it as often as I can...I just had to explain my crazy problem with the "O"
word...Please...anyone can use it anytime for any reason..But I had to at least discuss this with everyone....And I am pissed off too, and Trump hasn't helped at all. ....

(63,912 posts)say it when I have to. "No, I can't do that because I'm old." It stops people, actually, almost like they have to recalibrate what they are saying. Some things are just not possible because I'm old. Of course, I am also my husband's caregiver, so there's that, too. So exceptions not given to others must be carved out.
I guess that sounds selfish and in a way it is. But it is also true.
