- back gets sore after sitting on internet for only a couple hours.
- fashions are starting to come back that I wore when I was a teenager.

- would rather sit at home knitting than go out for drinks.
- feel urge to eat vegetables the day after eating pizza.
- when watching a movie, think: "they wouldn't really do that!" or "that wouldn't happen in real life!"
- sometimes yell it at the screen.
- also, get really annoyed when people hang up the phone without saying goodbye. That just doesn't happen in real life (unless the person is a real arsehole).
- every time I start reading a book, it ends up in a nap.
- sometimes, it's too loud.
- start thinking things like: "what's with young people today?"

- don't really feel like travelling anymore.
- I'm starting to have to bump up the zoom on webpages to 110% or even 120% sometimes.
- start to think: "back in my day..."
- e.g. "back in my day, we didn't have mobile phones! If you were waiting for a friend to turn up, you'd just wait an hour and then assume they'd ditched you and go home."
- "back in my day, we didn't have school counsellors. If a kid killed themselves, nobody would talk about it and you'd just try not to think about it and get on with studying."
- I think a lot about how to manage my emails.
- newfangled iphone is now dying and battery only lasts an hour before having to plug in again. Still refuse to upgrade.
- seem to think, "wow, [actor/celebrity] is looking old these days" increasingly frequently.
- Husband just said: "grounding is very important" and I said: "yes, especially for young people as they can be so giddy."
- I see Kpop idols doing especially vigorous dance moves and think, "wow, if he's still doing that in 10 years time, it's really going to hurt."
- and apparently I have arthritis now. I guess that's the clincher.
