Verbiage

I have learned some useful new phrases while working at the Manor - "pleasantly confused" and "intermittently oriented". I believe that I will aspire to both of those conditions in the aging process. Being pleasantly confused sounds like great fun and checking in and out of reality might come in pretty handy on some occasions that I can think of. I plan on being one interesting old lady, I sure hope my kids are prepared.

Bring it on!

A very interesting article via Instapundit:

THIS SOUNDS PROMISING: Fountain of Youth: Drug Restores Muscles. "A daily dose of an investigational medication has been found to restore muscle mass in the arms and legs of older adults and improve some of their biochemistry to levels found in healthy young adults, suggesting an anti-frailty drug has been found." I hope this pans out.

Betsy says: This is very hopeful for those of us who have the longevity gene... my family tends to live into their 90's with their minds still sharp. The thought of retaining physical strength and mobility in addition to mental stability is mighty encouraging.
