Me trying to do cartwheels this weekend reminded me that I’m no spring chicken anymore.
What made you realize your age lately/recently?

2 day hangovers are a great reminder.

I got legitimately excited about trying a new laundry detergent this weekend.

Also ready for bed by 8pm. This. Every night. If it's past 9pm and I am not in bed, I get cranky.

Oh, my H and I were trying to describe a pager to my 6 yr old this weekend. Her mind was blown that there were no tablets/iPad's when we were her age.

Realizing every Friday that I would rather stay home with a book than go out on a date.
Being in bed before 10 on a Saturday (to be fair, I usually get up early Sunday for a long run, but at one point that wouldn't have mattered).
Realizing that people who turn 18 in 2020 are the first set of adults not born yet on 9/11 (I am mathing that right, right?). I know that sounds weird, but it's kind of mind-blowing.

We have a district in our city that's known for its night life with tons of bars and clubs on a few streets. I spent almost every weekend there when I was closer to 18 and when I go there now I feel old. It's a vibrant place with a huge span of ages but there are a lot of drunk teens and young twenty somethings and I definitely feel old there.
I was going to say hangovers as well but H and I realized our hangovers are worse now not because we're older but because we can't sleep in. When we go away together and have a late night drinking we almost never have a hangover but we also don't have to get up at 7 and entertain little kids instead we get to sleep in until 10 or 11 and then eat a super relaxed breakfast.

Waking up with a painfully stiff neck and having no idea how that happened.
(I'm on day 2 and I'm thinking that I maybe closed a window funny.)

We also eat dinner by 4:30-5. 5pm dinner isn't an old people thing, it's a sensible thing. We all get hangry if we eat much later.

We have football season tickets to our local university. Tailgating and going to games makes me feel super old.

I get very cranky when out at a restaurant or even a bar now (on the few occasions I still bar) and someone is talking too loudly. Very old lady with a shotgun screaming get off my lawn.

My little brother is turning 18....my stepmom was pregnant with him at my sweet 16 party.
I started High school 20 years ago. That thought makes me feel old.

I still don't feel old. I am having the opposite problem actually. No one wants to do anything. No one wants to go anywhere. Bed early and tired all the time.
After several recent disappointments, I have resigned myself to just go whether I am alone or not.

Realizing that I have one of those day of the week medicine organizers so that I don't forget to take any of my meds, vitamins, etc.
Meeting the candidate for Paul Ryan's Congressional seat and finding out that he's younger than I am.

I went to a high school friend's wedding over the summer. I only knew less than a handful of people there and ended up talking a lot with a jock bro I was friendly aquaintances with back in the day. We just talked about our kids the whole time, the best sleep training techniques, the merits of pacifiers, our experiences with child birth, etc.
I had a real whoah moment about how we were able to hold a conversation that was probably longer than all of our combined convos in high school about such "adult" stuff. And I didn't hate it at all. Basically, watching the people I grew up with actually grow up is blowing my mind.

I work at a university, and we have student employees born in 2000. Which is the same year that I graduated high school.
