Wanting gloves, a sure sign I am getting old

One thing that I've noticed is that my feet get cold faster. It must be a lack of circulation. When I go to bed, I always want something warm to put my feet on! Other things: My hands get tired of knitting a lot faster, I can't work as long or as hard as I used to. Old age isn't for sissies, that's for sure.

The date on my birth certificate seems to be getting farther away from the present date, for some reason.

i think it may not be a sign of ageing, but it is just the limitation of our bodies to endure such cold temperature. even young people wear gloves to protect their hands and warm themselves. if it is -4C, then it is really cold. no matter how young one is, gloves are necessary.

It seems to me that wearing gloves while cutting wood would be the smart thing to do, not a sign of getting old. I remember wood cutting and carrying as a child, and I always wore gloves. I did not like splinters or blisters, to say nothing of what one might find under that pile of wood, like spiders and scorpions.

I've always been sensitive to the cold and minus 4 is a balmy day for January where I live. Yesterday was -27 with the wind chill. I notice things "going south" without me and without the warmth that should accompany a trip into the sun! And the sore, stiff bits that I didn't even know I had. Nope, growing older is not a bed of roses.

I wouldn't know what minus four degrees is like down here! And I've never actually seen snow here. I think it happens about once a century or something like that. Perhaps if you had a really good meal before going out to cut wood, you wouldn't feel the cold so much? I can associate grey hair & hair falling out with old age, but I'm not too sure about feeling the cold more. And would you be using an axe or power tools? In fact, I'm wondering why you went out to cut wood at all. I thought you would have spent your summer & autumn stock-piling wood for the winter! Do you not have sufficient storage space for wood where you are? Or is it considered a sign of masculine virility to go out in the freezing cold & cut wood with hand tools?

First of all, the grey hair is showing up, then your glass lenses need to be changed to a higher grade, aching back, tires easily, skin getting a bit rough....huhuhu! I think I am aging myself, too?

not really... im only 34.. not to old. And at 29 degrees I need gloves here. My feet and hands get like ice cubes...
