An old soul or a spring chicken?

There are probably lots of tests out there you can take to find out how old you feel. Sometimes you are in your 20s and feel like an old soul. Sometimes you’re in your 60s and feel like a spring chicken.

Well, this is how old I am. I’m “when you wake up ready for a new day and it’s 10:30pm on still the same day you went to bed” years old.

Yeah, that’s right. I woke up ready to win the day and then checked my watch. 10:30. Why is it still dark out? Ohhhhh, it’s PM not AM. It felt like I had slept for hours, though! Ohhhhh, I had. Exactly what time did I go to bed, anyway? 8:37pm. Yeah, I’m old. It won’t be too long till I’m waking up, eating a bowl of oatmeal, and checking where the hopping estate sales are this weekend.

Oh wait. Dang it. I already do that.
