Quietly dozing in the middle of the afternoon
Regularly lunching at Pret
Growing steadily fatter
Sighing as you look into the mirror
Staring into the middle distance
Treating every day like Sunday
Overusing the phrase, “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks”
No longer feeling anger
Deciding you don’t need any new friends
Avoiding any discussion of the future
