I was in college when the Atkins craze started. Two of my roommates did it, cooking meat all the fucking time.
So one day, while those two guys were in class, my other roommate and I made doughnuts. They were ready just in time for them to get home.

For me in my 40s now it’s just been sometimes something should be automatically known but I gotta wait a few seconds for my brain to recall it also the how the heck did that scratch or mark get there or I’m bleeding how did that happen (this happened to me a month ago I have no idea). Among random things that you go ow that hurt that never would’ve in your 20s. Just how it goes.

Having a tough time picturing this.
Instead of squatting on 2 legs, with both heals on the floor, stick one leg out in front of you. Make sure no priceless vases are in your immediate surroundings.

That’s unpossible. You should join the circus or something.

I had gout in a toe when I was probably about 40 and, yeah, it felt just like a broken toe (and I had had a broken toe before). I haven’t had more than maybe a tiny hint of gout since though. I’m 57.
I do wiggle my toes kind of regularly, which is supposed to help prevent gout.
I thought I was going to be able to do this, but failed. I got close though. Going to work on it.

Cliffs for doing 1-legged sit to rise: be short and super skinny. Work on your pistol squats (this is not me).
Edit: give myself a 9.5/10 on @freddbird’s sit-to-rise vid at the tender young age of 49, yay squatting semi-regularly!

I don’t want to sit on the floor. Since the pandemic I’ve become a little germophobic. Also I don’t want to fail and tweek my wrist again. Damn thing is taking forever to heal. So I’ll just sit and stand normal for now thank you.

I’m usually around 10:30 to 5:30 on weekdays, weekends fluctuate a lot. In my late teens/early 20s I was almost on a nocturnal schedule when I could make it work. I loved staying up all night and sleeping until noon or early afternoon.
I’ve been up until 2-3am all week. Some weeks I’m in bed before 11. It’s weird how much I drift all over the place.

I’ve settled into a pretty boring “in bed between 10:30-10:45, asleep by 11:00-11:15, up at 7:00-7:15” schedule. I don’t really need 8 hours but this leaves a fudge factor for inevitable sleep loss by getting up to piss, having the dog decide it’s comfortable to sit on my head or something, wife taking off her CPAP mask in the middle of the night and then generating the most terrifying otherworldly 100db snoring noises ever, etc.
My sleep habits remain unchanged, maybe I’m a weirdo.
I used to be a night owl, to the point where I would joke about my internal clock being set to Pacific time. Now I’m pretty much on Newfoundland time.
