| I belike won't survive riding a bike. |
When writing most my recent trip dorsum domicile to Verona, it would survive remiss of me to non cite my remain at the infirmary for bronchial pneumonia. Along amongst the high fever together with chills,
I got to part a room amongst around delightful onetime ladies inwards beautiful linen nightgowns. Kind of similar the pic Ladies inwards Lavender alone inwards Italian together with without Judy Dench. The meals were peachy but was it a highlight? Not really. Was it enlightening? Definitely.
This is only a gustatory modality of what I learned most onetime historic menses past times spending a calendar week amongst octogenarians:
1. You may non acquire at that spot amongst your ain teeth.
2. You tin never convey plenty tissues.
3. You volition belike survive wearing a sweater fifty-fifty if it's 100-degrees.
4. You volition survive drinking a lot of soup.
5. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 draft from the window is dangerous.
6. You tin never nation the words: "We're old, now," enough.
As I wrote out a semi-serious bucket listing the nighttime I could non slumber a wink ("eat all the chips dipped inwards Greek Style yoghurt I want," really?) the gist of what I was feeling was leave of absence at that spot together with create everything you lot desire to do. See everything you lot desire to see. Right now.
I could halt this shipping past times quoting Dylan Thomas: "Do non become gentle into that practiced night," but I prefer leaving you lot amongst the question my peachy aunt Milly used to ask, when looking inwards the mirror: "Jennifer, how come upwardly I await then much older than I feel?"
