Oh How I'm Elderly

Has anyone else noticed how deeply confident www.accuweather.com has gotten in the last few weeks? I was certain we were supposed to have nice-ish weather today but it appears to be chilly and rainy so I checked the site and it literally says "rain for the next 120 minutes." I've noticed this for awhile but forgot about it. That Friday when it snowed last (two Fridays ago?) I looked at the site to find out when there would be a break so I could drive home. But, alas, the site's confidence is not matched by accuracy (I know, strange given the site name) and so it is not exactly the greatest predictor. Looks like it's back to peeking out of the window for me. Although the WAPP app thing that I finally downloaded on my phone seems to be pretty good (the Bat only tried to get me to download it for about six months ago...)

This is what I am now, old. I talk about the weather. I legitimately try to remember to tell so and so that I've noticed that horrific intersection on the way to their neighborhood has gotten better and the lights stay green longer. I clutch my pearls when I realize the left turn arrow is still green even though the oncoming traffic has a green light as well (it's at a highway intersection so it's truly scary although I've yet to see anyone at the problematic light). I recently went on a 3 mile walk on a Saturday and I can still feel it today, a Monday. And I mean I can really feel it and got really excited the other day when I remembered I had Ephsom's Salts (or however you spell it).

I drank a cup of coffee at around 4PM yesterday and that resulted in an utter inability to sleep. It was so bad I had to work from home today because I couldn't trust myself to drive. Coffee has never affected me like that before but I guess it's ovaltine from here on out should I want a warm afternoon beverage.

I mean, yeah, I've always been super old in some respects but this is getting ridiculous.
