Senior Moments...Physical and Mental

This past few days I have been working on organizing a storage room. Washing shelves, putting items in storage boxes. Washing walls and general cleaning. At the same time I have been working on other things that are related to our business.

My days have started at a run at around 5 AM and I have been physically active all day with only a few sit down rest periods,and by the time I get ready to quite around 6 PM I am exhausted. mentally and physically.

This is so disturbing to me as I have always been able to do things all day long and never had problems____it makes me feel old.

I am having a little problem adapting to the changes age is throwing at me. I cannot understand why this is so, I have been adapting since my mid thirties when arthritis in my spine made itself known. Since then I simply have changes things as necessary. What I am experiencing now is different. How do you change a lack of abilities? Don't do as much? Do it slower and take more time? The choices stink.

Makes me angry, but I am trying to consider options without loosing my mind.
Which BTW seems to be working fine....I am always learning and thinking and striving to be alert and that do more. That part of me is holding up while the rest seems to be on a downhill skid.

I shall start thinking about an exercise program. Did I ever tell you I hate exercising for the sake of exercise?
More on these thoughts later............................................................................
