I can still push myself as hard as I used to decades ago

 But I sure as hell pay for it now.

September and the first half of October was a grind.  I think I had one weekend off in September, and then I got another weekend off last weekend.  All the rest was working in one form or another.  

To put it plainly, that kicked my ass.  I'm still feeling the effects of it.  Gym workouts are harder to complete.  Brain fog.  And being pretty angry most the time from feeling tired all the time.

I shudder to think about how I'm going to feel in another decade.

I can remember doing a month of 12 hour days when I was 21.  No days off.  Just working my ass off.  And the moment it was over, party hard and then work again.  If I tried that now I'd be dead.

    Sucks to get old, don’t it? I feel your pain. Have one of those great 12 on 2 off jobs, 7 consecutive days of those 12 are 24 hr on call shifts. I’d rather be pulling alert duty in the good old bad old days…
