Laughing My Way Through Middle Age

August 1, 2021 By Katy

I noticed a bald patch in my eyelashes recently.

“What?” I thought to myself, highly offended.

I did what every red-blooded American does: I Googled it.

Once I ruled out assorted deadly diseases, I found the real reason for the demise of my eyelashes.

I’m middle aged.

According to Google, which led me to this website, for instance, “As we age, eyelash follicles (the openings in the skin through which the lash grows) can slow or stop producing new lashes altogether.”

Terrific! Of course, wonky eyelashes are just one of a myriad of afflictions that I’m suffering from now that I’m a card-carrying member of AARP.

Thankfully, I’m not alone nor am I the first to suffer from middle age.

So I have decided to make the best of this time in my life–and to start laughing my way through middle age. Just like these fabulous people I found on Twitter.

Thank you, Twitter peeps, for the midlife laughs!

And what about my eyelashes? Turns out they have grown back. For now.

But I’m ready to purchase falsies and growth serum should it happen again. And to keep laughing my way through middle age.

    Oh my gosh, Katy! I can totally relate! Although my eyelashes seem to be still in tact, my eyebrows are falling off my face! I used to have beautiful thick eyebrows similar to Brooke Shields in the 1980s and now they look more like Hitler mustaches sitting above my eyes…unless I draw the outside half of them back on! Where the heck did my eyebrows go? Oh wait, there they are…on my chin! Thanks for linking with me! I can’t wait to read more of your midlife adventures! And I will laugh with you straight on through these crazy years!
