1.   like your body's "check engine" light has been on and your're still driving like, "nah it'll be fine?"

 

2.   I don't want to be an adult today.  I don't even want to be human today.  Today, I want to be a dog.  I'll be lying on the floor in the sun.  Please pet me and bring snacks.

 

3.   Let me stop you right there...if it involves early morning sweating or people, then  NO.

 

4.   Come here you big beautiful cup of coffee and lie to me about how much we are going to get done today.

 

5   I don't know who needs to see this, but your laundry needs to be put in the dryer.  You're welcome.

 

6.   Anyone else reach that age where you gain weight if you breathe?

 

7.   We've been friends for so long I can't remember which one of us is the bad influence.

 

8.   Dusted once.  It came back.  Not falling for that again.

 

9.   I never thought I was the kind of person who would get up early in the morning to exercise.  I was right.

 

10.  I'm holding a cup of coffee, so yeah, I'm pretty busy.

 

11.  Not to brag, but I just went into another room and actually remembered why I went in there.  It was the bathroom, but still...

 

12.  As kids we wondered why our parents were always in a bad mood.  Now we're like...  "Ooooohhhh."

I can relate to much of what you are saying (#8 made me laugh). My problem is that I can't live on my social security and cannot find a job working at home. I interview for jobs, they like me, but they hire some one their own age. We are maybe both a little depressed. Hang in there.Smiley Happy

Thanks!   Enjoyed reading and chuckling along the way.  No. 11 speaks to me.  I need to get that comment embroidered on a pillow.

#11 reminds me of my favorite “not to brag “ ...

Not to brag, but I can forget what I’m doing while I’m doing it.
