It's official, I'm old

I've noticed a shift in my thinking as of late, and it's kind of concerning.

I've been noticing how dry my skin is, small wrinkles here and there, and an affinity for oil burners...this is the beginning of getting old.  The other day I bought my first bottle of Oil of Olay...my mom uses that...  >facepalm<

Beside the whole "getting old" trend, I've noticed a little more depression creeping over me, and I had to take notice.  I mean, I have no hours at work since they shut down the shelter I was working at, and sure, that can cause a little depression, but this is almost fall down exhausted depressed.  I've also gained about 40 pounds in the past 6 months since having the baby.  Then I noticed my legs and joints are hurting again. 

...shit...

I forgot to have my thyroid checked after having the baby...

My thyroid is off, I can feel it.  The swollen throat, the soreness in my joints, the memory loss, the weight gain, moodiness, everything...oh yes, it's off alright.

The big thing that sucks is, when you put on "thyroid weight", it's ten times harder to lose than if you just ate yourself into it.  Grrr!

Btw, here's some pictures to make your day...
