1. A wrinkle in time: About a week ago I noticed my first wrinkle — a crease around one side of my mouth. Neil called it a "laugh line." I didn't find it funny.
2. Aches and pains: My hip now hurts after prolonged sleep. Which means I may be one of those early-rising golden girls sooner than desired.
3. Creepy crawlies: Yesterday, while inspecting the spider veins that have slowly begun creeping up my legs, I happened to look behind the back of my knees (for apparently the first time ever.) I almost screamed. The veins are dark, puffy and atrocious and I'm sure they'll go vericose on me in the next 5-10 years.
Still, this is surprising. I think it's because I don't feel accomplished. Making pennies at my job and no kid. Age isn't supposed to set in until those things are taken care of.
Wait.
It doesn't work that way?
Crap.

I just hope I can somehow manage to handle aging with grace. I look at my old foster basset with pity, but in her I see my eminent future. And there is nothing graceful about an old basset hound. So I guess I have no choice but to keep working on those "laugh lines."
