Apparently,
there was
fine print.
One day you’re living your life. The next, you’re making a noise when you stand up, injuring yourself in your sleep, and wondering why the floor suddenly feels so far away.
Consider this the fine print you probably should have read sooner.
02 / Inside the book
Uncomfortably
familiar.
Painfully relatable. Beautifully illustrated. Completely unnecessary information you somehow needed to hear.
Sleep Injury
There was a time when sleep repaired your body.
Now it's a contact sport.
You wake up with a neck injury.
You weren't skiing. You weren't wrestling.
You were just sleeping in a slightly creative direction.
Dinner calculus
You start doing a different kind of math.
Not taxes.
Not retirement.
Dinner.
A 5:00 reservation means you're eating by 5:30.
Even with dessert, you could be home by 7:00.
Pajamas by 7:15.
Then someone suggests dinner at 8:00.
Eight? At night?
A very thoughtful way to say:
“I noticed you’re aging.”
03 / Give the gift of recognition
For anyone who’s started making noises when they stand up.
A funny gift for birthdays, milestones, coffee tables, or anyone discovering that apparently this is what we’re doing now.
