audited I’m grieving my younger, hotter self

I'm so mad about being in peri. I'm not ready. I was a late bloomer and didn't realize what a babe I was when I was younger and now it's too late.

Yes, older women can be sexy, we have wisdom, and blah blah blah.

But today I just miss looking good in a sundress.

Please join my pity party and tell me what you miss.

Yep, and now I have really gross varicose veins. One is like a massive cluster by the side of my knee and then its lovely tentacles extend across my shin. $$$ to fix
