Things I Like More As I Get Older
This was on Reddit. Here are a few examples, what would be one of yours?
- "Myself."
- "Silence and people canceling plans – that’s foreplay now."
- "Being at home, being in bed by 11pm, and grocery shopping."
- "Not having plans."
- "Having real conversations, no phone, hanging out with myself, and the self respect I have gained over the years with no need to please others. It's like a breath of fresh air."
- "Not giving a s**t what people think is an incredible feeling."
- "Birdwatching. Sorry – 'birding'."
Things Men Do When They Are Alone
This was from Buzzfeed. We threw in a few of ours as well.
- "I take five decorative pillows off the bed and put them in the closet until the morning of her return."
- "I cook a package of bacon and save the drippings. I cook basically everything in that fat until it’s gone. My wife and daughter are vegetarians."
- "FINALLY, a chance to clean up without anyone in the way! Turn up the music and bust out the broom and mop and rags! Go outside for a smoke and get to it!"
- "I don't know, but it's not gonna involve pants."
- "Back in my early 20s, I would immediately pull the mattress off the bed and drag it into the living room, drive to Hooters and grab a giant bucket of wings, then come home and sit on my living room bed eating wings. Now, in my mid-40s, I fire up Farming Simulator and an audiobook."
The Best Exercise For Sleep
- Aerobic exercise - Workouts that raise the heart and breathing rates, like cycling and running, can make falling asleep by lowering blood pressure and reducing stress.
- Strength training - Lifting weights or working out with resistance bands can also help you sleep better.
- Yoga - The practice of stretching and breathing can boost mindfulness and lower stress, as well as relax the nervous system and improve sleep quality.
- Walking - Even a simple brisk walk in the fresh air can ease stress and anxiety, which can lower cortisol and positively affect sleep quality.
Second Date Update
Derek mat Kayla at a mutual friend's game night. They bonded over their distaste for Monopoly. They met for sushi in S San Francisco. He can't think of anything that would make her ghost.
