I would love to hear from jobs because I just found out Monday is a holiday so if i dont hear today it’ll be Tues. .I guess then I wouldn’t have to compulsively check every hour, though one place did send me a maybe on a Saturday….
I am super nervous about picking the wrong job & regretting it or not being qualified or as happy at another job. Also i dont want to feel like sellout Greenday & pick a job just because it pays INCREDIBLE if the people that work there aren’t friendly & i wouldn’t be helping people. But also if I’m rich & had paid vacation & GREAT BENEFITS LIKE LEGIT HEALTH CARE i could visit poor places & volunteer & pay for sisters college to negate my evil ways? ??????? I just want a definite yes & a real taco…I’ll get a good burrito bowl tomorrow.

We think of aging as something we do alone, the changes unfolding according to each person’s own traits and experiences. But researchers are learning that as we age in relationships, we change biologically to become more like our partners than we were in the beginning.

“Aging is something that couples do together,” says Shannon Mejia, a postdoctoral research fellow involved in relationship research at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. “You’re in an environment together, and you’re appraising that environment together, and making decisions together.” And through that process, you become linked physically, not just emotionally.

It’s like finishing each other sentences, but it’s your muscles and cells that are operating in sync.

Doctors tend to treat people as individuals, guided by the need to ensure patient confidentiality. But knowing about one partner’s health can provide key clues about the other’s. For instance, signs of muscle weakening or kidney trouble in one may indicate similar problems for the other.
