Yes, age is catching up. Not only are we growing old, our house and everything, fixtures & fittings, are old too and need repair or to be replaced. Recently our room air conditioning unit stop funtioning, our refrigerator door's gasket decided its time to give up and our kitchen ceiling fan also felt it is time for a change. It is really scary to think of other items when things are getting so expensive with the rising cost of labour, materials, transportation, etc.
Talking about age catching up with us, the workmen who came to replace the air conditioning unit said to me that one to two years ago they could easily lift the outdoor motor unit up 8 - 10 feet to fix on the wall. Now they have to struggle to bring down the old motor from the wall. So they decided to fix the new outdoor unit lower down. Well, this is nothing new to me as I am also struggling to do things which I could do easily last time. I tire out easily now and need to rest my old bones frequently. Lifting of flower pots is a tough job now.
Now have to say goodbye to the young age and welcome old man.
