I don't FEEL old physically, but all of the new hires at my company were barely born when I graduated HS. And also:
I love going to bed early. I love getting up early. I'd rather stay in and read a book than go out. The thought of going to a club makes me panicky. Mostly because I can't imagine being out too late.

I love going to bed early, but I also love a fun night out. But hate the 2 day hangovers that comes with it.
I feel old when I get up and my knees crack. I specifically remember a time in my childhood when I heard my moms knees do that and thought she was so old. And also, not thinking 60 is very old. That used to seem ancient to me.

And yeah, my knees crack every time I walk up the stairs so I'm reminded several times a day...I even tried to get DH to "listen to my knees" the other day to see if I should go to the doctor

Only watching one episode a night and going to bed. Back in the good old days we could easily get through 4 a night. Well, streaming and binging didn't even exist when I was young, so this. This makes me feel old.

I feel like I'm just hitting my prime finally! haha.
There are startling moments, like pointing to a desk phone through a window to DS and miming talking on the phone. He looked and looked around him and could not recognize the thing in front of him as a phone.

Ordering my cheeseburger without onions even though I love onions because I don't want to have a stomach ache. Maybe this isn't really an age thing - but as a youngster I could eat whatever I wanted to and thought the olds were ridiculous with their Tums and Pepto Bismal - but now I get it. I was like this when the fussy girls in middle school would soak up the grease from their pizza. I do it now.

Sitting in the dentist chair, and my dentist laughing when Chumbawamba came on the radio, announcing to the dental tech “this was the first CD I ever bought.”
They were huge while I was in university. Turns out my dentist was born in 1990.
Hearing people say, “oh I read Harry Potter with my Mom when I was in grade two” and they are married with two children.
Realizing some of my members (I work for a Union) are the same age as me and are Grandparents.

I sometime enjoy talk radio better than music. Always. My radio never leaves NPR unless my kid changed it. I am oddly calmed by the music on "All Things Considered" because I listened to it with my grandparents when I was little (also in the car)
