4. I used to NEVER feel the cold.

In Pennsylvania, just rolled my shirtsleeves down until January or
so, when I'd wear a light jacket 'til it warmed up.
.
But one of the SURE signs of aging for me is my susceptibility to
cold. Over the last 5-10 years, I've gone from just a sheet on my
bed (even in the RV -- where I still don't know to this day whether
the heater actually worked or not -- didn't use it) to a blanket to
two blankets and ('til I lost it somehow in a move) an ELECTRIC
blanket!!!
.
60 degress?!?!? The landlord has us on an honor system of 70 degrees
and that can get me shiverin' on a cold damp day.
.
Though I've kicked it up to 71 or 72 on days where I wasn't feeling
well -- and that's made ALL the difference in the world.
