Old age pains (2)

I turned 30 recently, which means I'm no longer young. The opposite of young is old; hence I am now old.
I was sitting at my desk on Monday morning, and kept noticing various parts of my body which were in pain. This isn't too uncommon; I occasionally work out and sometimes even do hard physical labor. But it had been a while since either of those two occasions happened, so I was sitting there trying to figure out exactly what I had done to cause this specific pain. The front of my neck hurt, almost like whiplash. I was racking my brain trying to figure out what activity could've caused whiplash. Did I fall on my back at some point on Sunday? Did I not use my legs when I lifted something, instead somehow miraculously using my neck muscles? Did someone push me down the stairs?
It finally came to me: I slept in, and at one point, I must've been laying face-down on my pillow. That's right. I injured myself sleeping. Welcome to old age. #health

Regarding Paragraph 1 Sentence 2, please look up "Fuzzy Logic." You might find it encouraging.
That said, I have post 30 experiences such as throwing my back out while leaning over to pray and picking up a balsa wood airplane. I have has post 40 experiences of throwing it out while body surfing. I am almost proud of that last sentence.

Injuries from sleeping: yes, me too!! It seems to be the main way I get hurt anymore. I could also tell I was old when I found myself telling my neighbor's kid to get off my lawn. :p
