I'm in my mid-30s now. And through the guidance of older friends, I have been prepared for some things. I knew my boobs would sag a bit (I can't be the only person who looks in the mirror with my arms in the air and wonders if it would be possible to walk around like that forever), I knew I'd go grey (been happening since 16), and I knew I'd start to get a bit of a 'tache but..
Lately, I've developed a patch of thick, dark hairs sprouting from my chin. Like whiskers. I pluck them out and enjoy the smooth feeling of my face for about a day and then they're back again. All dark and whiskery and old-ladyish. What on earth? The hair on my arms is blonde. I don't really get too much of a moustache (nothing that a good session with Jolen won't fix), but this whiskery patch on my face, and a similar one on my neck confuses me. Short of constantly waxing, plucking and bleaching, I don't know what else to do. One look in the mirror and it's all clear. 5 minutes later, they're growing again. Like some kind of ageing beanstalk. At the top isn't a giant. It's a rain-mate and those thick American Tan tights and orthopaedic shoes that old ladies wear. And the goose doesn't lay golden eggs, it lays Tena Lady.
When this patch isn't sprouting whiskers, it's going to the other extreme and having spots. At the grand old age of 34, I've had more spots in a single year than I did in my adolescence. What's going on there?
