crapisode

A period in a person's life during which everything seems to be going wrong, but though the individual feels plagued by a series or massing of inconvenient occurrences, they are in fact petty annoyances, which even in aggregate are far less severe than an actual tragedy, such as a terminal illness or the loss of a loved one.

I was feeling really down about all the stuff that's been happening lately, but upon reflection I realize everything's just part of a crapisode, and I've weathered those before.

geezerdom

A geezer's personal kingdom (personal world view). Rather than lamenting the infirmities and liabilities of advancing age (though not wholly denying them), the geezer revels in the psychological and even physical freedom resulting from advanced age. No need for schedules, no worries about what others think, etc. The world is the geezer's oyster--his or her geezerdom.

The old gent smiled as he considered his geezerdom.

mensabation

That guy is really into mensabation!
