I Hate Getting Old

I will be 74 years old soon, to be exact on July 4th, 2011.

I go to work and I am not physically able to do many of the things I used to do.
One example is that I can no longer pick up the 80 pound bags of concrete and I can't climb up and over things as I did 5 years ago.
If I were to be placed in a position where I would have to meet the physical conditions of the job description, I would fail.
I am respected my the younger men and women as the person that can answer almost any problem anyone could have, based on my past experience. That gives me an edge when there are jobs I can't do as most will offer to do them for me.

The biggest question I have now is... how long will I be able to keep the job as It is becoming almost impossible to do. Also, I am on my feet at least 8 and a half hours a day on a concrete floor.
I come home hurting so much I actually have a hard time getting out of the car and walking into the house. My back, legs and feet are usually swelled up considerably by the end of the day.

I wore a pedometer for a couple of days to see how far I would walk in a day and both days showed I had walked a little over 9 miles each day.

So, what's left... well, I am working very hard with my best friend to establish an income from on-line websites, also we are blogging too.
So far, we haven't made a dime, but I know from experience that persistence does pay off. So, I work at it every day... after work and on days off too.
My agreement is a very simple one based on trust with a verbal agreement of a 50/50 percent split.
I have placed all the sites payment info to go directly into her PayPal account.
I had 3 reasons for doing that. First, I trust her implicitly. Second, at my age, anything could happen to me at any time and if money did flow in, there would be no one to disperse it. Lastly, all income from everything we do should have just point of control. That makes everything work much more smoothly.

This just another form of planning ahead....... JUST IN CASE !!!!
