One of the subreddits I “enjoy” is called r/FuckI’mOld… And they show things like floppy discs and Flinstone vitamins talk about Reading Rainbow which I think might have made an ironic hipster comebacks the likes of a bill sitting on capital hill. For me it is mostly physical. The music that is TOO LOUND, the smell that is TOO STRONG, the air temperature that is TOO HOT OR TOO COLD, the hand skin that looks as though I could slip it off like a glove. That sounded unintentionally serial killeresque, forgive me, I am talking about my own hand skin. The main reason I feel really old is my relationship with my pharmacy. It is co-dependent. They like to text me about things that matter: “Your prescription V is ready for pick up. They also like to be a tad aggressive: “We will hold prescption X for 8 days before we re stock it.” They text about things that only matters to corporate:“Have you downloaded our app?”
Love this! So true. I’m a slave to three different pharmacies-- one is for my dog. They had the best prices for his out of pocket meds. Love the ones that have a drive thru. Condoms on sale? What could possibly be wrong with them to warrant a discount?
Hilarious! I stay with a pharmacy far from home because they send reliable notifications when RX are filled and when they're not ready. It's simple good service, but so rare that (while not a miracle) hsd my loyalty.
Love this hilarious, existential post! And especially the well planted jokes from The Office and Brooklyn Nine-Nine. My body tells me every day that I'm 2000 years old. But at least I look young? *Shrugs* I guess a miracle I can share is that we're here, we're still alive, and that's miraculous.
(and can we agree that most of life happens in the asides?) As a serial abuser of parens, I could not agree more. What makes me feel old is when I look at someone and think they are my elder...then find out we're the same age. That is a gut-punch. Also, the MTV statistic. And that it's 2023 and I'm still in the year 2000 for some reason. xo
