Plan:

Everthing is farther away than it used to be. It is even twice as
  far to the corner and they have added a hill. I have given up running for
  the bus; it leaves earlier than it used to.
It seems to me they are making the stairs steeper than in the old
  days. And have you noticed the smaller print they use in the newspapers?
There is no sense in asking anyone to read aloud anymore, as everbody
  speaks in such a low voice I can hardly hear them.
The material in dresses is so skimpy now, especially around the hips
  and waist, that it is almost impossible to reach one's shoelaces. And the
  sizes don't run the way they used to. The 12's and 14's are so much
  smaller.
Even people are changing. They are so much younger than they used to
  be when I was their age. On the other hand people my age are so much older
  than I am.
I ran into an old classmate the other day and she has aged so much
  that she didn't recognize me.
I got to thinking about the poor dear while I was combing my hair
  this morning and in so doing I glanced at my own reflection.  Really now,
  they don't even make good mirrors like they used to.
