I just got a full time job as a gardener/groundskeeper (in Russia, in the winter). I like the work but it's really hard on my joints--knees, elbows, wrists. And I just can't keep my hands and feet warm. This could be my last hurrah in this line of work.

It's terrible to get too old to be able to do the work you love. The thought of flourescent lights and grey cubicles and office gossip sets my teeth to chattering. I can't deal with it at all. I guess I'll keep pushing a wheelbarrow till the bitter end. What to do....
