Senior moments

Re: Senior moments


no typos that i can see, but i may see more in a day or 2.

My OB/GYN informed me that senior moments and hormones are probably very closely connected.

I believe there is an Asian tradition that one grows until the age of twenty; then one molds the world and one's children until the age of 50 and after 50 the material world becomes less important while the spirit contemplates the universe.

I'm shaky on the time spans, but the general idea is there. How can you remember temporal woosits and whatsis when you're exploring the universe?

Well that explains alot - I thought senior moments happened when you were a senior. It makes me feel better.

As a parent of young children, I call them "sleep deprivation moments."

Well, I'd just as soon return to this planet, Noddy.

hmmm, sleep deprivation - probably also a factor.

First I noticed an issue with name recall. I can be in the middle of a conversation with someone I know well and forget their name Then I began struggling to recall words I know perfectly well.

More recently, it's been spelling and grammar; things like you're and your, tenses, and so on. It drives me nuts to read something I've written and try to imagine how lucid thoughts translated to what shows up on the screen. Preview doesn't help, my brain knows what I wanted to say and sends that message to my eyes. Spellcheck helps with spelling but not with tenses, etc. It's very frustrating.

I've noticed some lovely word spinning happening in the last few months. Or - that is, Setanta has noticed. It happens when I'm just home from work, or just about to go to sleep. It may have been happening for a while, but the dogs hadn't mentioned.

I think I'll just go move the cracker.

mmmmmmm, cracker?

you know, basket

Tired. Hormonal. It's annoying.
