• I like my routines, and don't even get excited about short 3-day business trips to distant and even interesting cities. I'm OK once I'm there, but I resent the disruption. This is a fairly new reaction.
  
• I also sense the same resentment when out-of-town guests (relatives come and stay with us, even for just a couple days)
  
• I have cut way down on spicy foods, once a great love.
  
• I feel somewhat anxious or fearful of the unknown much more often than I ever did in the past.
  
• With all the daily medication I take, my interest in having sex has decreased. Some of the meds have that effect.
  
• I can't remember how many years it has been since I had a decent night's sleep. I'm up every 2-3.5 hours.

The ultimate result is television executives hearing what PLAN, and the mature audience, in general has to say, and beginning to realized more mature-oriented programming must be produced to satisfy the fastest growing age segment in the country!
