I'm in my 70s, and I like to comment on what it's like and what to do...

Pre-sleep check / Revisión Pre-sueño

 
It's almost like shutting down an airplane, except that it's shutting down myself before I go to sleep.
1- Night cap -- my hair is so short that it catches cold.
2- Vicks vapo-rup is a must on my outer nostrils and chest -- my grandma taught me this.
3- Specs off -- too expensive to replace. 
4- Walking cane always nearby -- either to walk or beat up a nasty person....
5- Pray to someone -- just in case it exists.... Grandma prayed to an ex-president... I pray sometimes to my friend JAC.
 
Pasos para la camita:
!) Gorrito -- ya se me enfría la calva.
2) Vicks -- mi abuela lo usaba.
3) El bastón al lado -- la abuela también lo usaba.
4) No anteojos.... Ella le rezaba al alma de su compadre Arnulfo... Yo le rezo a "Quien pueda que esté  por ahí... por si las moscas.... Buenas noches a todos.

I hated Vick's Vaporub when my mother tried to rub it on me when I was a kid and I still do. I'll never let anybody rub that foul-smelling, burning concoction on my body, and most of all, my nose.
