How did I get from 1944 to now so quickly? 

I used to scramble each morning, with 2 boys and a part time job, I could clean and dust and do laundry and have it all done in one morning, in time to get them down for a nap and watch a soap opera, of which I can no longer remember the name.

Somewhere in the years I gained a 80 pounds from 1985 to 2006 and lost 70 of those in 2017.

These days, I have to pick a chore and do one each day and on a good day 2 per day.

 I also use a fake, feather fiber duster because its quicker and easier.

I can no longer reach the top shelf in the kitchen, or reach the light bulbs in the bathroom or on the fans without taking my life in my hands and standing on something to make me taller. 

the why is somewhere along the way I went from 5'6 to 5'4 and still shrinking.

Its a new day, its a new song, it a new ME

 

Sandra @ 80 years old today, and as of now you can't even sing, and "many more" at the end of my birthday song. 

I am including the first creation because I disliked it and did the one above. 

But for posterity sake, before deleting I chose to show it
