it gets better. kids now upper single/lower double digits, and I can reuse stuff for dayzz where it was previously multiple changes per day

bonus trauma memory: just about to go to work, no wait I need a new shirt, tie and jacket

now I’m late ¯\(ツ)/¯

nah anatomical L/R socks are god tier, they are my sensory delight and demand

podcasts ftw for any house chores

Just chiming in to reinforce Carmelians point that the sarcopoenia in particular is a highly likely aetiological predisposing factor for OP’s described experience (as noted, for a male >50yoa it’s pretty much a given), and strength/resistance training is the only realistic compensating strategy.

But its also true that the strength component seems to be more overlooked in the popular approaches to the vicissitudes of aging, so bears particular emphasis
