You know you are getting old when:

The weather forecast is for freezing (barely) temperatures late at night, so I’ve been bringing in the houseplants that spend the warmer months out on the deck.
Those large pots seem heavier than they did a few months ago.

Perhaps, the plants got larger and heavier. I have a similar problem with my aquarium. I have to constantly add water because the fish drink so much.

You're not in a medical profession, but you have a sphygmomanometer.

I won a spelling BEE with the word, sphygmomanometer. Then I spent my life's work using a manometer and pitot tube.

When you start appreciating fine cheeses.

LOLOLOL: An ouch moment has arrived. I just realized I must be old. My whole life was surrounded by Swiss cheese and Kraft singles. I must surely be old, since now, wine and cheese are among my favorite eats.

Wer anderen eine Bratwurst brät, braucht ein Bratwurstbratgerät.

Cooking skills and not to be lost on a table set for a multi-course meal, including drinks, are some more clear hints of high age.

And you come to appreciate a little spandex in your blue jeans and ads for “step-in” shoes get your attention.

Let’s not even talk about clipping your own toenails. “Yoga” as I call the procedure.
A few weeks ago my wife and her sister coaxed me into getting a pedicure. Oh my gosh, sitting in a comfy massage chair while someone else cuts your toenails! And then they apply lotion to your feet and ankles! I could get used to this. My upstanding self says that such luxury is somehow wrong, yet I know I’ve been given the equivalent of a free sample of an addictive drug.
