... when you make every trip up and down the stairs to the basement accomplish at least one tangible task.
It gets worse, you're halfway on the staircase and you can't remember if you were going up or coming down.I find the opposite to be true. I go up and down the stairs, forgetting why I went up or down the stairs.
Everything takes (at least) twice as long.
This reminded me of an anecdote I heard many years ago. One of Albert Einstein's friends encountered him on the street one day, and the two men stopped to have a chat. After they had finished and parted ways, the friend had only taken a few steps when he heard Mr. Einstein calling his name. He returned to the spot where they had been chatting, and Mr. Einstein asked him, "Before we stopped to talk, was I walking up or down the street?" When the friend informed him that he had been walking up the street Mr. Einstein replied, "Oh good, I've already had lunch then," then turned to continue walking up the street.It gets worse, you're halfway on the staircase and you can't remember if you were going up or coming down.
When you dye your hair, get a facelift, stucco your face with "age-defying" makeup, stuff your aging avoirdupois into industrial-grade Spanx, and then have a fit when you *don't* get the Senior Discount.
You know, you're getting old, when all the girls around you are getting too young.
