Damn you, age

Getting on 35 this year, things are changing. I used to go to bed and could sleep all night (even excessive hours) and never once had to get up to go to the bathroom. I’d hold it all night and, then, pee like a mule in the morning. I guess bladders shrink as you age because now I get up at about 5:30 (like clockwork) to pee every night. Feh.

Also, I used to sleep buck naked. Then, after the baby and getting up frequently at night, I started sleeping in boxers. Now, like an 80 year old grandmother who has caught a chill, I sleep in a T-shirt and pajama pants. Not sure why but maybe my circulation isn’t as good. Or the fact the pregnant wife keeps the house chilly since she’s always hot.

Thankfully, my little friend still wakes up before I do (if you know what I mean). If that stops happening, I’ll be depressed.

    Noticed the thing about sleeping too. Used to always be buck naked but know I wear boxers and a t-shirt. I blamed it on acclimating to the warmer climate. I can still hold out the whole night without peeing though.

    35? Gimme a break.

    Wait twenty years and talk to me.

  3. Bruce Says:

    A little too much information there, man.

    +1 on PawPaw: wait ’til you’re past 50. What a whiner. πŸ˜‰

  5. Marc Says:

    Ugh. Thanks for the visual. (shudder)

    Probably ought to have your blood sugar checked. And a urinalysis to check for an infection. Could be signs of trouble. Or that you’re just entering geezerdom. Better to find out, though.

  7. SayUncle Says:

    Thanks R. I’m about due for a physical anyhoo.

  8. Kirk Says:

    It has to be related to the pedicure…

  9. Jay G Says:

    What’s frightening is that I could easily have written this entire post…

    Actually the getting up at night can be a enlarged prostate issue from what I have heard.

    Dude, you’re like my long lost brother or something. Except that I’m 34 and have two kids, I experienced the exact same thing.

    “Pee like a mule.” I’ve seen a mule pee, and it is impressive.

    I think there’s a solution for your no-more-naked-sleeping problem and your need-to-pee-at-night problem.

  13. SayUncle Says:

    That’s not nice!

    I hate to tell you this, but your little friend is going to have periods of not waking up before you do and he’s going to pull that stunt sometimes when you’re wide awake. As a 57 year old man I speak with experience.

  15. tgirsch Says:

    Egad, you’re not actually older than I am, are you? When do/did you hit 35?

  16. tgirsch Says:

    Oh, and I should point out that I sleep in boxers and briefs. It’s weird. If I wear one or the other (or neither), I get really cold. But wearing both, I’m warm throughout the night, and usually hot. One wouldn’t think that so few clothes could make so much difference, but in my case, they do.

    And in Wisconsin winters, there’s nothing like a set of flannel pajamas, which I have worn since I was a kid. Added bonus: If you don’t mind the occasional odd look, you can take the garbage down to the curb wearing them, or even run to a drive-thru.

  17. cube Says:

    are you going to tell your children that you have a blog?

  18. SayUncle Says:

    I won’t be 35 until October.

    Cube, my wife knows. Maybe we will.

  19. tgirsch Says:

    So then you’re barely younger than I am. I hit 35 in September.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
