Signs of the times

I'm only 26 but I have been noticing a few disturbing signs of age lately that I thought I'd share.  Maybe you've seen a few of these in yourself as well.

1.  Books- I read them more.  Which is a good thing.  The sign of aging comes in selection.  If a book has small print it will probably get skipped. 

2.  The clock- I used to be able to see a clock from 3 rooms away.  Now I look at the clock on the microwave and see what looks more like fuzzy neon worms.  I know you are thinking the first two signs mean I need to get my eyes checked- and I will- when I can no longer tell it is a microwave that the clock is on.

3.  My memory- I can't remember anything!  My memory was never very good so this may not be a sign, but I include because its getting very inconvenient.  For one thing I sent my ipod through the washer and dryer in a pants pocket a week ago.

4.  Music Volume- When I was younger I had a sign on my door that read "if its too loud, your too old."  Now, even if I wanted to play the music loud my minivan wouldn't allow it. 

5.   Music taste- The heavy rock gets skipped over most of the time in favor of the mellow stuff.  At least I'm not listening to Dave Matthews Band yet.

6.  Vitamins- I actually take them and they are neither cherry flavored or cartoon shaped.   

and the last sign of age- its 9:26 and time for bed!
